Undergraduate Admission

Contact Your Community Coordinator

For Indigenous students from a partnered Indigenous community who wish to join an INLP cohort in their community:

  • You must first contact your Community Coordinator to express interest. 
  • After your participation in the community cohort has been confirmed by the Community Coordinator, a student may then apply to SFU for admission through the EducationPlannerBC (EPBC) portal as a new student. 
  • Students who have previously attended SFU must apply for reactivation as a returning student or for readmission as a returning student if they have done further post-secondary studies since leaving SFU.  
  • For an overview that explains the difference between the reactivation and readmission processes, see this page on the SFU Student Services website.
