Roadmap to Fall 2026
Welcome to the SFU School of Medicine!
We’re so excited to have you here and to support you as you begin this journey.
This roadmap is here to guide you through what’s ahead—key dates, deadlines, and events as you prepare for your first day of classes in August. Information on activities such as enrolment and orientation will be shared in the coming weeks. Please check back to this roadmap regularly for updates.
Over your transition into the MD Program, you will be kept up-to-date through:
- Get Started MD Newsletter (ongoing) - A newsletter delivered to your inbox regularly.
- Learner Portal (July) - The Learner Portal will keep you informed and connected to events, services, and resources to support your journey into and throughout the program.
May
SFU off-campus partner housing
If you’re relocating, explore off-campus housing options near Surrey through SFU’s partner and listing service. You’ll also find helpful resources and tips for renting.
June
SFU computing ID & MFA
- June 12: Look for an email sent to your non-SFU email address to activate your SFU Computing ID. You'll need your computing ID to access Pre-Orientation materials in mid-June: Student Handbook, Clinical Placements Form, and the Learner Portal.
- After you receive communication regarding your SFU ID, access goSFU (SFU’s student information system) to review and update your personal information. Make sure to add your Social Insurance Number.
