Class Cancellation Procedures
If there are extenuating circumstances and you need to cancel a class or will arrive late (eg. more than 10 minutes), in addition to notifying students directly, please contact FHS staff so we can take steps to inform students on campus, such as posting a notice on the door or going into the class to make an announcement. If the class is cancelled or a significant portion of class is missed, you will need to make alternate arrangements to ensure that students receive the required amount of contact hours for the course.
If you need to cancel or will be late for an undergraduate course, please contact:
- Brad Mladenovic (Manager, Undergraduate Programs) at 778-782-7188 or bratislav_mladenovic@sfu.ca, or

University Closures
Weather Related Closures
The SFU Burnaby campus is susceptible to snow and severe weather that can affect campus operations leading to class cancellations in comparison to the Vancouver and Surrey campuses. In the event of severe weather, the university will rely on reports from Environment Canada, TransLink, and observe conditions at each campus to determine if it is safe for the normal operation of university services. Decisions related to class cancellations and campus closures are made by the SFU president per GP 04 Unscheduled Cancellations of Classes.
If a campus closure is deemed appropriate, communications will be sent to the SFU community through SFU Alerts channels. Be sure to download the SFU Snap app on your mobile device and enable push notifications.
For the most current updates on class and campus status updates follow SFU.ca and @SFU on Twitter. If extreme weather is forecasted, updates will be provided on these channels by 6:30 AM.
