Academic Advising

What is Academic Advising?

Academic Advisors help admitted SFU undergraduates plan their degrees to meet their program requirements and their educational goals. We are here to support you as you navigate challenges and make decisions about your educational journey.

How do I connect with Academic Advisors?

For support with planning your courses, declaring your major, navigating an internal transfer or checking your graduation requirements, please contact the appropriate advising team for your faculty or department.

See faculty and department advising

Where do I get support if I'm experiencing academic difficulty?

Connect with a Student Services Academic Advisor if you are facing academic difficulty. They can support with the following:

  • Academic standing (Academic Probation, Required to Withdraw)
  • GPA concerns
  • Withdrawal from courses
  • Withdrawal under Extenuating Circumstances

See Student Services Academic Advising

Are you a new or incoming student? Have you completed University Prep?

If you are a new or incoming student, consider preparing for your meeting with an academic advisor by completing University Prep first.

For support with planning your courses, contact the appropriate advising team for your faculty or department.
