New Students
Are you new to Langara? Welcome!
Whether you're a domestic student or new to Canada, coming straight from high school or returning to school after some time off, we encourage you to attend Orientation sessions so that you can great start on your Langara journey. Let us help you get ready for your first day, by joining us at one or more of our in-person events.
