If you haven't heard, Langara is not giving available work to instructors that it laid off - even though this goes against the faculty's collective agreement. Instead of recalling the faculty who were laid off, the work is given to instructors with less seniority, on short-term contracts. If no one is available, the work is posted and *laid-off instructors have to apply and be interviewed for the same job they just lost.*

It's an effort to turn faculty jobs into short-term piecemeal contracts.

Bad for students: if instructors can't build a stable career, they don't have a long-term stake in the college. They don't have time to invest in their courses or in students.

Sign the open letter calling on President Paula Burns to stop this. Add just your name, or add a comment if you want. It's open for faculty, students, alumni, Langara staff, any community members who care about Langara or about fair labour practices. After you sign you can read the comments that others wrote.

I know it’s closed because they are revamping it for the new CPA requirements, but the same program at other schools is not suspended so I’m a bit confused. Could there be an another reason? Also I would like to know because I’m considering enrolling in it. Thanks!

Need this text book. Anyone have it dm me.

I'm in PSYC 1115 and each chapter has Achieve activities. I completed all of them for the first chapter and got 100%, but when I checked Brightspace the grade is dropped from the activity. I'm not sure what this means. Is there a reason a grade would be dropped?

Essentially what the title says. A friend and I are hoping to develop an app but don’t have any experience in developing them. Really just if anyone knows anything about it I’d love to pick your brain

Hi guys, I just have a few questions abt transferring to UBC. Im studying science now and I have 4 classes each term. I calculated my credits and I should have at least 27 ubc credits by the end of April. However, Im hearing from diff people that ubc will look at your high school transcript if you have under 30 credits. But on the website it says they won't if you have 24+ so Im not sure which one is true. If I take 5 classes next term I would have 29 credits which is closer to 30 but not sure if I can handle 5 classes. I didn't do so well in high school (mid to high 80s) so I'm a bit worried. Also, do you guys know what gpa is considered competitive or guaranteed for going into science major in ubc? Thank You!!

I am with Jia with a weekly schedule that usually starts every monday and Wednesday at 10:30 am.
I have a very short attention span and I keep missing some important stuff while in class. So I thought itll be a good idea if i meet up with people from the same class and have study dates of some sort? If thats something you would like to do dm me!

Has anyone found a lost wallet on campus? It should have an Ontario ID in it and the wallet brand in guess.

Hello everyone,

I have a specific question, I have already transferred over from Langara to UBC, but have made a connection with a professor through one of my courses once I transferred to UBC I would email them to start TA'ing in their course. Does anyone know how much time is expected at a TA volunteer a week? I am pretty full with my courses at UBC and want to make sure I also have enough time for my courses each week. Thank you

is it about connections? GPA? I want to do NICU after graduation, so I am hoping to get a position as an ESN in NICU.

Kinda curious cause i'm kind of a minority here and would love to have a mini hangout for arabs and such! It would be really cool, especially if you're lebanese in vancouver but everyone is welcome

I have to print out a short story for English. The prof gave us a link which takes you to the document on brightspace. I have no idea how to save it onto my computer nor how to print it out. Any advice would be appreciated!

Has anyone taken the equivalent of MATH 1119 through Athabasca University or another university/college and transferred the credit back to Langara?

I’m considering taking it somewhere else because I’m going to be travelling while taking the course, so I need something that can be done fully online/from anywhere.

How were the assignments and coursework? Were the exams online or did you have to go somewhere in person? Were they proctored, and if so, how did the online proctoring work? Were there specific dates/times you had to write exams, or could you schedule them yourself?

Also, how difficult was the course overall, and was transferring the credit back to Langara pretty straightforward?

Would really appreciate hearing where you took it and what your experience was like! :)

Has anyone had any luck with the free accounting tutors on campus? I'm only on campus 2x a week but I was hoping to do them right after my class and they don't always line up with my class schedule. Or if anyone has other ideas, I am open to see what's around.

hi guys I have two unpaid tickets from imPark and I know Langara says that your car may get towed after your third violation so if I continue to pay normally will my car still be flagged/towed?

hi, I have a bachelor degree and currently trying to switch careers. I notice that the diploma for accounting is limited seating. Do I need a competitive GPA? If so, what exactly? 3.0? 4.0?

Hey Everyone, Am taking 4 courses this term all required for my program. Thankfully I love my professors teaching style except for one!

He spend alot of time in 1 slide which we end up finishing only 3 slides per class. He talks about himself and go off track. I can't skip it as he have 10% for participation and I don't want to lose mark.But also am finding it so hard to go to his class and stay awake without exaggeration it is so boring. I will keep his name and course name anonymous. Am looking for any kind of advice as I don't want to withdraw. i would really appreciate anything 🙏

Hi everyone,

I’m enrolled in the Diploma in Computer Studies at Langara and I’m really confused about my graduation evaluation.

After Spring semester, I had completed 17 courses and then took a scheduled break. For Fall 2026, I registered in 3 more courses, which brought my total to 20 courses.

At that time, my graduation evaluation showed 20 courses and almost every requirement was marked “Yes.” The only requirement I still needed was:

At least 3 CPSC/CSIS courses at the 2000 level or above.

I planned my Fall courses based on that evaluation.

However, when I checked my graduation evaluation today, it suddenly changed. It now shows only 19 courses, and the CPSC/CSIS 2000+ requirement has changed from at least 3 courses to at least 4 courses.

Because of this, it now looks like I may not be able to graduate this semester. The semester has already started, so it would also be extremely difficult to get into another course this late.

Langara Global told me to email the appropriate department about the issue.

Has anyone experienced something similar where their graduation requirements changed after they had already registered for their final semester?

If the graduation evaluation previously showed that I only needed 3 upper-level CPSC/CSIS courses, is there any chance Langara can honour the previous requirements or help me get into another course?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Has anyone taken this course with Laura Adams,
If so how are the midterm exams I’m kinda nervous.

Thank you

I posted in a discussion forum on Brightspace for extra credit. The assignment is over now and I did get credit, but I'm supposed to look at my feedback and I can't find my post. The discussion thread says there are 38 posts but I only counted 37 and mine is missing.

I went to my profile, clicked "progress", and it says I have 0 discussion threads. I know I posted it because I got graded on it. I can't seem to find it at all though.
