SUPPLEMENTAL APPLICATION

Students are selected for admission to the SEE undergraduate program based on a combination of academic performance and responses to a supplemental application. Instructions on how to submit the supplemental application are provided to applicants after their application for admission is received.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Marks matter, but so do your experiences! All SEE high school and college/university transfer applicants must complete the supplemental application by the deadline on your To-Do list on go.sfu.ca. Understanding your interest and aptitude for studying SEE is important to us and the supplemental application provides the opportunity for you to tell us about yourself beyond grades.

The supplemental application contains five, 100-word, short-answer questions which ask about your:

  • interest in studying SEE;
  • approach to working through problems and challenges;
  • involvement in communities or groups.

You can complete and save sections of the supplemental application before submitting it to us. See your To-Do List on go.sfu.ca for instructions on accessing the application, deadlines, and all other required admissions documents.
