REPEATING COURSES FOR A THIRD TIME
Deadline and Submission Details:
The application period for the Spring 2024 term is now open. The deadline to submit all documentation is January 5th, 2024. Late applications will not be accepted.
Applications must be submitted by email to math_advice@sfu.ca.
- Note: This application process cannot approve repeats in excess of the 5 repeat limit. If this 3rd attempt is also a 6th or more overall repeat, you must also receive permission from your faculty advisor by the deadline above. An application is not considered complete without this permission.
General Information:
Students must complete and submit the application form if they want to take a MATH or MACM course for a third time. This application is not guaranteed approval. Please note that it is not always possible to have a repeat approved for the term directly subsequent the term in which you last attempted the course.
This application is not guaranteed approval. See below for reasons applications are often denied.
