We are pleased that thanks to the hard work of BC Hydro and SFU facilities staff, power has been restored at SFU Burnaby campus.

The campus is still dealing with some technical issues related to our phones. The University has notified our external vendor who is working on fixing the situation.

UniverCity currently still does not have power.

SFU IT services staff are currently working on re-establishing all online applications.We expect systems to slowly return to normal operations.

The University will continue to provide updates and share information with the University community as we have it both on our website and on our social media channels.

We appreciate your patience.
