Enrolment Services Graduation Exemption Requests
Requests for graduation exemptions are intended for students who wish to graduate and require a program exemption or substitution to meet graduation requirements.
Students seeking exemptions from graduation requirements must submit a written request. The request should be submitted (along with an accompanying Graduation Exemption Request Form and any relevant documentation) to Registrar & Enrolment Services.
How to Submit a Graduation Exemption Request
Graduation exemption requests are submitted to the Registrar & Enrolment Services office:
- In person or by mail to: 100 West 49th Avenue, Vancouver BC, V5Y 2Z6
- By email to: gacrequest [at] langara.ca (gacrequest[at]langara[dot]ca)
- By fax to: 604.323.5590
Your request should include the following:
- A Graduation Exemption Request form
- Relevant materials that may assist your request, such as sending institution course outlines (not course descriptions), transcripts, etc. It is not necessary to attach your Langara records, such as an unofficial transcript (available on Langara's login page), course outline, or graduation evaluation to your request (Langara College already has access to these documents)
Decisions for requests will be available within three months after the request was received. Submitting a request does not guarantee approval.
Attach a letter clearly stating the following information with your Graduation Exemption Request form:
- The specific course requirement(s) you are requesting an exemption or substitution for
- The reason for your request
- How you believe you have met the requirements
- The reason why you are unable to meet the requirements of the program's prescribed curriculum.
Decision Notification
Submitting a request does not guarantee approval. The results of graduation exemption requests are sent by email to the email address on file. It can take up to three months from the time a request is received to be notified of the decision.
