SFU graduate students are able to order business cards through SFU Document Solutions.

The cost is $32 for 100 cards.

Once you submit an online request for Business Cards, Graduate Studies will need to verify your status as a graduate student, and approve your order.

Note: Graduate Studies will not be able to approve your order if you are a student in any one of the following Departments. Please place your business card requests through your graduate program staff:

• Beedie School of Business
• Digital Media
• Education
• Interactive Arts and Technology.

Document Solutions requires a pre-payment for the Business Cards. Once your order has been approved by Graduate Studies, Document Solutions will contact you for payment, and proceed to prepare your cards.

Title Field

• The Title field must have include your degree in progress — eg. Master's Student, PhD Student, MSc Student, MA Student. (See SFU Style Guide for list of all degrees.) "Graduate Student" is not an approvable title.
  
• Please note that in many departments, the title "PhD Candidate" is reserved for students who have completed all course work and their comps and only have the dissertation left to complete.
• If you have any questions about the proper "title" for your business card, please consult your supervisor or graduate program assistant about your department's accepted practices and expectations.
• Graduate Studies will only check that you are a current student and then approve your business card. If your department objects to the "Title" you have entered, you are responsible for the cost of a reprint, if they require it. 
  

Document Solutions will contact you once your cards have been approved.

For any questions, please contact gradstudies by email.

*Once you place an order, the online form retains your entries in each field. To clear fields for the next graduate student, just go back to the form (see step 6) and this time press "cancel" at the bottom of the form. This action will clear all the fields.
