Can I start my classes late?

Students should not miss more than one week of classes at the start of the term. Missing more than one week may affect your academic progress and your ability to meet SFU’s deadlines. Please review the following academic deadlines for key dates, including the last day to add or drop courses and tuition refund timelines, so you can make an informed decision.

➡️ Graduate Students: Dates and Deadlines

If you expect to arrive late, contact your instructors or graduate program immediately to discuss your options. You may also explore academic concession options directly with your instructors. These are considered on a case-by-case basis.

➡️ Learn more about academic concessions at SFU.

If you have questions about your academic options or course availability, reach out to an Academic Advisor (undergraduate students) or your graduate program (graduate students) for guidance.
