SFU Admission Information (Part 1)

A lot of information was given from the SFU Counsellor's Day. Here are some pointers that are important for you:

Application Process

• SFU Application has started already. Please note, applications can only be done online.
• For early admission and most scholarships, application deadline is Feb 28, 2010.
• Students who wish to apply for residence should apply early, as spaces are limited.

Self-Reporting Grades

• The student portal where you can self-report your interim grades opens on Dec 15, 2009
• You need to report your final grade 11 and interim grade 12 marks (i.e. Term 1's marks)
• For distributed learning courses (e.g. online courses), you can self-report your interim grade. You MUST advise the educational institution (e.g. VLN) to report your final grade to the Ministry of Education if you want to use that course for application purposes.

Grade 11/12 Pre-requisites for General Admission Requirements

• You must complete English 11, a Language 11, Principles of Math 11, and a Science 11 for general admission
• If you have taken a challenge exam to fulfil your language 11 requirement, you must self-report this grade
• For grade 12 courses, you need to have English 12 and 3 approved grade 12 provincially examinable courses
• Please note: having completed the required courses for general admission does NOT mean you have the required courses for a specific faculty. Please check the individual program-specific requirements for the faculty/program you are interested in.
• You must WRITE the English 12 provincial exam. The mark from the exam would only be USED if it increases your admission average.
