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

Upper Division BBA students register one day earlier than Lower Division BBA students. Lower Division students often end up on the waitlist for BUSM 4200 and BUSM 4300. So it is important to request Upper Division as soon as you are eligible. .

How to: 

BBA Lower Division (Term L) students who are eligible to progress to Upper Division (Term U) must complete the BBA Upper Division Request form  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 completed (in progress) cannot be used to meet the above requirements. If you need assistance or have questions, please email the Academic Advising team at academicadvising@langara.ca

BBA Program Maintenance of Standing   

BBA students who have completed 60 or more credits must maintain a minimum CGPA of 2.33 to continue in the program. Students unable to maintain this minimum will be removed from the BBA program and switched to an Arts and Science (open enrollment) program. Once a removed student is able to raise their CGPA to the minimum 2.33, they may email academicadvising@langara.ca to request reinstatement to the BBA for the following semester.   The deadline to submit reinstatement requests to take effect for Spring 2025 is Tuesday October 1st.

Important Notes:   

Students will have a new ‘start date’ and be required to meet the program/curriculum requirements in effect during the new ‘start date’ when:

  • They change programs or BBA/Diploma concentrations
  • Are reinstated into the BBA program after removal for maintenance of standing
  • Are reinstated into BBA/Diploma following suspension (please refer to FAQs)

 

* Students who are reinstated after being removed for an extended absence (3 or more consecutive terms) do not have a new ‘start date.’  

* The above is not affected by the Spring 2025 pause in BBA applications.
