Are you a new to snəw̓eyəɬ leləm̓ Langara student and have questions about student orientation? We have answers for you.

Which Orientation should I attend?

We're making it easy for you this time as we want you to begin your first week feeling more confident and prepared. All new Langara College students registered in at least one regular studies course will be invited to the in-person New Student Orientation event on Monday, April 28, 2025.
This event is for both international and domestic students. If you do not receive an invitation for the event by April 22, please email orientation@langara.ca. 

Will Orientation be in person or online?

New Student Orientation for Summer 2025 will be held in person. 

What are the benefits of attending Orientation Activities and Events?

Orientation events are designed to provide you with a strong foundation to begin your Langara journey. Students who participate in orientation activities 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.

Which Orientation is relevant to me?

All new-to-Langara students, domestic and international who have registered in classes for the Summer 2025 semester are eligible to attend the New Student Orientation.

Integrated into the NSO event will be a session just for international students, as we understand the nuances of your student journey! 

Can family members come to 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 check out Tips for Parent and Supporters >> to learn more about the College, and gain a greater understanding of the resources and opportunities available to students.
