General Information
Tax benefits
If you pay more than $100 in tuition fees to SFU in one calendar year, you may claim them as a tax credit. Your official tax receipt is the SFU Continuing Studies payment receipt that we will email to you after you register and pay.
Harmonized Sales Tax (HST)
You do not need to pay HST on courses that we offer as part of a certificate or diploma program—even if you are registered for only one course within the program. SFU's HST number is 118 520 725 RT.
Course Cancellation and Instructor Substitution
SFU Continuing Studies reserves the right to cancel courses or substitute instructors without liability. If we cancel a course, we will make every effort to give adequate notice to enrolled students. We recommend early registration—courses fill quickly and may be cancelled if there is low enrolment.
