How to enrol

Enrol in courses

1. Sign in to goSFU with your computing ID and password, then open your Student Centre.
2. *For new undergraduate students*  Verify that your admission deposit has been paid. This is necessary for you to enroll in courses. To check your account balance:
   • Click on Account Inquiry under My Account, or
   • Use the top drop-down menu to select Self Service, then go to Campus Finances, and find Account Inquiry.
   • Check if your Overall Balance is either -$250 (if you are a domestic student) or -$5,000 (if you are an international student).
3. Confirm your Enrolment Appointment date and time by looking under Enrolment Dates.
4. Use Search for Classes or Browse Course Catalogue to explore the courses you wish to enrol in.
   • Plan the day, time, and location of the courses you want using My Schedule (mySchedule).
     Note: If you intend to take courses at different campuses on the same day, it is recommended to allow at least 90 minutes of travel time between locations.
   • Ensure that you meet the prerequisites for the courses you want to enrol in.
   • If you are not familiar with enrolment terminology, here’s a quick guide to help.
5. Enrol in courses on or after your Enrolment Appointment date.
   • The Course Cart will be available two weeks before the start of the enrolment period for the term.

Adding, swapping and dropping courses

• You can continue adding or swapping classes until the end of the first week of studies.
• You may drop courses after enrolling in them, but you should be aware of the potential academic and/or financial penalties, depending on when you drop a course. See Deadlines for more information. 
• After courses are added, swapped, or dropped, always check your class schedule at the top of your Student Centre to ensure that all enrolment changes (e.g., adds, swaps, or drops) were successful.
