Langara English Test and Language Proficiency Index

Students planning to enrol in a first-semester English course must take the Langara English Test (LET) or Language Proficiency Index Test (LPI) prior to the semester in which they want to register. Students who have a minimum 70% grade in English Studies 12, Literary Studies 12, or equivalent are not required to write the LET or LPI.

Prerequisites

Repeating a course

Students may take a first-semester English course a maximum of two times. (For the purpose of this rule, ENGL 1123, 1127, and 1128 are regarded as the same course.) The Chair of the Humanities Division or the Department Chair of English may waive this rule in exceptional cases, particularly if the student can provide evidence of upgrading.

First Year English Courses

1. Students will receive credit for only one of ENGL 1123, 1127, or 1128. If two or more of these courses are taken, the most recent grade will be calculated in the GPA.
2. Students will receive credit for only one of ENGL 1129 or 1130. If both courses are taken, the most recent grade will be calculated in the GPA.
3. ENGL 1125, 1135, 1181, and 1191 may be taken for unassigned credit in first or second year and may be taken in any order.
