Register one day earlier! Apply for BBA Upper Division Status!   

Upper Division BBA students register earlier than Lower Division BBA students and this makes a difference especially when trying to secure a seat for BUSM 4200 and BUSM 4300.  

Deadline to apply for Upper Division to take effect for Fall 2024 registration: Tuesday, May 21st. 

How to: 

BBA Lower Division (Term L) students who are eligible to progress to Upper Division (Term U) must complete the Upper Division Request Form – Fall 2024 before the deadline.    

If you have already been approved for Upper Division standing in a previous term, you do not need to submit the request again.   

Eligibility:  

  • completed a minimum of 60 credits;   
  • a minimum Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 2.33;   
  • completed all bridging courses for their concentration with a "C" grade or higher.   

Courses that are not complete (in progress) cannot be used to meet the above requirements. If you need assistance or have questions, please email the LSM Advising team at business@langara.ca  

Planning to take BUSM 4200 or 4300 next term?    

BBA courses BUSM 4200 and 4300 can fill up within minutes. To give yourself the best chance of getting a seat in these courses and the other 300-level and 4000-level BBA required courses, it is strongly advisable to apply for Upper Division status as soon as you are eligible.  

BBA students are reminded that their practicum (COOP 2301 or approved credit for BUSM 3000) must be completed before they can take BUSM 4200.
