* Note to Student Direct Stream students:
To make a Flywire payment to SFU, you must first log in to goSFU using your SFU Computing ID. If you do not yet have an active SFU Computing ID, please follow the instructions below:
- Graduate students required to pay in advance, please contact Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (gradstdy@sfu.ca).
- Undergraduate students required to pay in advance prior to the issuance of an SFU Computing ID may temporarily log in using their Student ID number at https://sims.erp.sfu.ca/csprd/signon.html
Refunds
- Partial refunds can be requested and processed through Flywire; please consult Student Accounts.
- In accordance with Canada Border Services Agency regulations, all payments equal to or greater than $10,000 are non-refundable. We will apply such payments to current and future tuition fees.
- On an exceptional basis, you may request that the credit amount on your account be refunded if you have extenuating circumstances. To do this, submit a refund request form, supported by a written explanation that also includes the originator's name, address, and banking information. Furthermore, if your education is completed or discontinued and there is a credit on your account remaining, you may get a refund at that time.
