Admission Requirements

The Graduate Admissions page in the SFU Calendar outlines all requirements for admission to SFU's graduate programs.

All applications for admission are adjudicated by the academic departments.

Before applying for admission, you should obtain information about admission requirements and procedures. This information can be obtained from the websites of departments and faculties, or by contacting the department's graduate secretary.

Applicants meeting the minimum University requirements for admission are not assured admission into any graduate program. Most graduate programs have admission requirements in addition to the minimum.

In addition, programs must restrict admission to students whose interests are compatible with available resources and faculty expertise. (See Finding a Supervisor.)

For admission to post baccalaureate programs, refer to the undergraduate section of the SFU Calendar.
