Exchanges

Students Participating in an Exchange Term 

Students can apply for government-issued student aid, including loans and grants, to participate in a Study Abroad-Exchange term. Eligible Exchanges must be at least 12 weeks in length, offered as a formal exchange through International Services for Students (ISS), with payment of your tuition and fees directly to SFU.  

We will confirm your study period dates, including mandatory orientation at your host institution with ISS.

Students participating in an Exchange who require student aid must: 

• Submit a Student Aid Mobility Contract with a copy of your SFU Outbound Exchange Student Acknowledgement to Financial Aid and Awards prior to the completion of any student aid documents.
• Submit a completed Student Aid Completion of Studies Contract within 45 days of the end of the exchange study period to Financial Aid and Awards to avoid being reported as withdrawn from full-time studies. This may impact future student aid funding that you may be eligible to receive.
