Foundations Courses

FAN X99 / FAL

Please note: these Foundations courses are for students who have been admitted to SFU. They do not constitute a stand-alone program nor are they pre-admission courses.

More about FAN/FAL

The content of W and Q courses presumes that students have met a basic competency standard. Two Foundations courses are available to students who do not meet the grade threshold to enroll in W and/or Q courses:

  • Foundations of Academic Literacy (FAL X99), and
  • Foundations of Analytical and Quantitative Reasoning (FAN X99)

A grade of C or better is required to progress from FAL into W courses or FAN into Q courses. Students may attempt these courses no more than twice. If FAL or FAN are not successfully completed within 3 enrolled terms, students will be blocked from registering in further course work at SFU until competency in English and Math are demonstrated. Please refer to this Student Services web page for more information on FAL/FAN blocks.
