Academic Suspension Support

How can we support you?

At Counselling Services, we are part of a team that offers the Langara Return To Learning (LRTL) course-- a free online, self-paced program that provides an opportunity for early re-admission if you’ve recently received an academic suspension notice.

The LRTL course helps you reflect on the factors contributing to your suspension while teaching effective learning, study, and time-management strategies. You’ll also learn how to access college resources to support your future academic success.

Academic Suspension and LRTL

Being placed on academic suspension can be challenging, but it’s also an opportunity to develop new approaches that can lead to greater success. Langara College’s Academic Standing policy guides how your performance is evaluated.

If this is your first suspension at Langara College, you’ll be unable to register for three consecutive semesters. However, by completing the LRTL course, you may be eligible to appeal for early re-admission. This does not guarantee early re-admission, and you must still sit out for at least one semester while completing the course.

Please note that if this is your second or third suspension, you are not eligible to take the LRTL course for early re-admission.

To learn more about the Langara Return to Learning course, including information sessions and dates, please visit the website of the Academic Success Centre.

Counselling Services wishes to acknowledge the deep and widespread impact of the ongoing violence and tragic loss of life in the Middle East. We recognize, too, that for those staff and students among us with family members, loved ones, or identity ties to the region, the impact is all the more profound. In light of the grief, anger, and fear that is understandably running high in this difficult time, we want to affirm that we are here to offer welcoming, inclusive, and confidential care for every student affected by this conflict. We encourage you to reach out if you are struggling.
