Important Changes to Part-Time Applications
StudentAid BC is transitioning to a new system in late fall 2024, which will require all part-time students to apply for their student loans and/or grants online.
IMPORTANT: Students will need to download and set-up the BC Services Card App as soon as possible to avoid system issues.

Part-time applications will continue to be paper based until the launch of the new system.
Completed paper applications can be submitted in-person at the front counter of the Registrar & Enrolment Services Office (T101) during office hours, or by email to finaid@langara.ca.
The deadline to submit your completed paper part-time application for Fall Semester 2024, is October 25, 2024, by 4:00 pm.
