Course Attributes
Course Planning
What are University Transferable (UT) courses?
These are courses that if successfully completed, their credits are accepted at Universities
To check if a course is UT, find the “U” next to the course
See Red Circle on the right of this page
To see which universities the credits are accepted at, please use the British Columbia Transfer Guide
Course Planning
What are credits?
Credits are hours / points that are earned at the end of each semester
1 class usually equals 3 credits
Some classes are 1 credit or 4 credits.
See the Red Circle on the right side of this page to find out how many credits your course is worth.
9 credits is considered FULL TIME
Three classes usually equals 9 credits
Course Planning
What is a CRN?
A CRN stands for “Course Registration Number”
Each class in the College is assigned a unique CRN
Use the CRN to indicate to the Registration System which class you want to register for.
Finding CRN’s:
1. Go to the Registration Guide and click Here
3. Click on “Get Courses”
Finding CRN’s:
2. Choose the subject of the course that you want
4. Find a class that works for your timetable
Course PlanningFinding a CRN and a class that works for you:
These are the CRN’s. Each
one is unique
This is the course name:
BIOL 1111
These are the number of
seats available in
the class
If there are numbers in this column, that
means there is a waitlist. Put yourself
on the waitlist if needed. The smaller the waitlist numbers
the better!
These are the class dates and times:
M = MondayT = Tuesday
W = WednesdayR = Thursday
F = Friday
Course PlanningSynchronous and Asynchronous Classes – what is the difference!
All classes will be held ONLINE for the fall. There will be no face to face, in person instruction.
There will be two types of classes
1) Online classes that do NOT have live lectures or class participation time - Asynchronous
2) Online classes that have a LIVE lecture or class participation time - Synchronous
Look! No dates and times!
Look! There are dates and times AND the
description tells you what is expected!
Waitlists
What is a waitlist?
A waitlist is a term that is used to describe when a course is full and there are student’s waiting for admittance.
If a class is full, you can add yourself to the waitlist.
Adding yourself to the waitlist does not guarantee that you will get into the class, so it is always a good idea to find anotherclass to register into
Checking for waitlist offers
• Watch the video on waitlists: https://langara.ca/reg-guide/when-you-register/waitlist-for-courses.html
• Monitor your waitlist – twice per day!
Accepting a waitlist offer is NOT AUTOMATIC
• You only have 24 hours to accept a waitlist offer
• Overrides and waitlists will be sent to your MyLangara email
First Semester recommendation.
Try 3 classes.
