How hard is BIOL1190 and 1191
Sorry if this is the 100th time this question has been asked but how much studying/ time would realistically be required for BIO1190 and 1191?
I heard the courses, especially 1191, are really difficult and I want to do well on them for nursing prereqs without retaking any. (I can’t write essays well enough to save my life, so I’m kind of counting on Bio and Stats at this point✌️)
I’m currently in grade 12, but I took AP bio last year and my worst units were in ecology and natural selection (yes not A&P related but basically I’m saying I’m horrible at FRQs and forming responses). I did fine in the other units though so compared to AP bio (or AP chem if that’s relevant) how much harder is 1190 and 1191? 🥲
Is it possible to study them over the summer before fall 2027 starts to get some grounding?
Also side note, how do I submit my credits for bio and chem if I don’t take the courses? I know they aren’t needed for nursing but do the extra credits do anything?

Professor is filing an academic integrity report about my midterm
While marking my exam, my professor said they found some kind of “AI code” or formatting in my answers and think I used AI during the exam.
Before the exam, I practiced a lot of the problems with ChatGPT, so I got used to following the same steps and way of solving them. Now my work can look very similar to the way ChatGPT explains things.
My professor said they’re going to file an academic integrity report and I’ll get a chance to explain my side.
Has anyone dealt with something like this before? What usually happens after the report is filed, and how do they determine whether AI was actually used during the exam?
How to explain that i haven’t had access to any phone during the exam. They were standing and looking for everyone during the exam.

How do you self discipline in College?
I am a Comm/ Business major and I have been struggling with being more disciplined (especially after taking a gap year) which made me fail two midterms so far..
I self teach all the time (was late to registration and all my profs suck) but it’s still not enough.
I need to ace the rest of my midterms so I can pass the courses, how do you self discipline in a college setting? Curious to hear your inputs :)

Has anyone been reconsidered after being refused due to a full intake at Langara?
Hi everyone! I hope it’s okay to ask this here.
I applied to Langara College’s PDD NPIC program for the January 2027 intake, but unfortunately, my application was refused because the program was full.
I completely understand that the program has limited seats, and I respect that the college has to manage its enrolment capacity. I’m not expecting special treatment; I’m just trying to understand whether reconsideration is ever possible in this situation.
I’m wondering if anyone here has experienced something similar. Were you ever reconsidered or offered a seat later on, even if no openings were initially available? Or is it generally best to prepare for the next intake?
I understand that every situation is different, and I’m not expecting anyone to predict the outcome of my application. I’d just appreciate hearing about your experiences or any advice on what steps I could reasonably take.
Thank you for taking the time to read my post. I appreciate any insight you can share!

Who are those guys around the Langara bus stop station?
As title says, recently I’ve noticed that there’s always two white people in suits or semi formal would select random students tryin to ask questions, what are they asking? Those students being asked seems bit uncomfortable.

Langara Spring 2027: BIOL 1190 & ENGL 1123 Professor Recommendations?
Does anyone have any professor recommendations for these courses? Especially for ENGL 1123, I’m not very strong in English, so I’m hoping to find a professor who explains things clearly, is helpful, and is understanding towards students. I’d really appreciate any recommendations or advice. Thank you! 🥹💗

first year at ubc deciding if i should transfer to langara nursing
Hi, im currently a first year student at ubc and ive honestly not been having the best time here. This made me start thinking about if im in the right path/program for what i actually want to pursue in. This past month since school began, ive realized i have an interest in nursing and started researching nursing pathways in Vancouver as i would like to stay local. Although there is an option for nursing at ubc if i would like to stay here, ive heard it’s not the best compared to langara and bcit as it doesn’t offer as much hands on teaching. Many people also say that ubc nursing is hard to get in so i dont want to waste 2 years of my time for a program that i will probably get rejected by.
I’m posting on here hoping that someone else have had similar experiences of transferring from ubc into langara nursing and how that worked out for them. Or just any current langara nursing students who might be able to give me some insights into the program and if u would recommend for me to stay at ubc or transfer to langara?

If I withdraw from a course…
If I withdraw from a course this semester, do I still get access to Brightspace for it or do I lose it immediately? I need to drop one but I would like to stay on top of the notes to try again next semester and work ahead. The prof only publishes them week by week.

Wanting to return with academic probation
I was enrolled here but ended up on academic probation because I struggled to balance out life and school. I was also skeptical of whether my major would actually get me a decent job, so I decided to drop out. Just under four years has passed since then and I'm wondering if anybody has advice on whether I should return or find a different college. I'd prefer to return just because the commute is the shortest. Even if you haven't been in this situation it would be nice to hear some opinions on what you would do. Thanks!

Nursing Jan 2027
So I was accepted a few months ago and have finished most of the additional requirements (criminal record check, cpr/aed/bls hcp..etc..) but I haven't received any emails recently from Langara. This is making me mildly nervous (which I know is silly...).
I'm wondering how course registration will work. Do we activate our registration time at some point like when we did our pre-recs? The screenshot attached is the term 1 courses off the website.
Also, hiiii, excited to meet everyone :D

UBC transfer
Has anyone here been accepted into summer semester at UBC? Just applied and did summer 2027 for Bachelors of Arts and I’m starting to regret it - because of course pace, chances of getting in summer vs winter.
I applied with a 3.2gpa to 3rd year admissions (not the best I know)
