Frequently Asked Questions

What courses should I take first?

It's recommended that students start with courses that do not have required course prerequisites, such as ADMN 1021, BSAD 1029, and/or GBSC 1004. However, courses can be taken in any order as long as course prerequisites are met.

How do I know if there is date conflict between the courses?

Generally each course has one weekly evening class on the same day every week over a specific number of weeks. As long as the courses you have chosen are not held on the same day, then there should be no conflicts. Note that asynchronous online courses do not have scheduled live classes, so they will complement all other courses.

Can I complete this program fully online?

Yes, it's possible to complete this program entirely online, as long as you are able to register into the individual online courses. Note that all final exams are held in-person on main campus, but students who reside outside of Metro Vancouver will be able to use an exam proctor instead of traveling to campus. Instructors will provide information on how to submit the exam proctor request for their course.

If I am using the grant, do I still get four years to complete the program?

Students using the grant are provided up to one year / 52 weeks to complete the program.

Can I use the grant to register for selective courses without committing to the entire program?

Once the grant is approved for the program, the entire program cost will be deducted from your lifetime grant amount.

Does the grant cover textbook costs?

Yes, the grant covers the cost of textbooks purchased from the Langara Bookstore. Visit the Langara Bookstore for instructions on how to apply the grant towards textbook costs.
