Orientation FAQs

New Student Orientation is a full-day, interactive, in-person event designed for you to make friends, meet different staff and instructors, learn about important resources, services, involvement opportunities, and start to build your community before your first day of classes.

All fall 2022 Orientations will be held in person.

New Student Orientation will provide you with a strong foundation to begin your Langara Journey. Students who participate in New Student Orientation share that they feel more connected to the College, more prepared to start their first semester, are more aware of different campus resources and services, and more confident in navigating their way around campus.

All new-to-Langara students are eligible to attend New Student Orientation.

If you are an international student, Falcons varsity athlete, or a student enrolled in the Langara School of Management Post-Degree Diploma or Langara School of Management Diploma/Bachelor of Business Administration program, you are required to attend a mandatory, program-specific orientation.

Orientation programming is designed specifically for students to meet and connect with other students, therefore we recommend that your family members do not attend. However, we encourage your parents and supporters to attend the Parents and Supporter Orientation session to learn more about the College, and gain a greater understanding of the resources and opportunities available to students and what to expect as they support you during your first term at Langara.
