Enrollment and Graduation for Spring 2010

Students may not carry balances from previous semesters; fees must be cleared before registration begins for the new semester. Click here for information on how to make payments to the University.

Graduate students should be familiar with information on graduate regulations and graduate fees contained in the Academic Calendar. Please read this information carefully!!

If you are completing your degree requirements in the Summer semester, you will find the information on "How to Graduate" very important, once the Summer semester has begun. Please note that you must be registered in the Summer semester in order to defend and/or to submit your thesis or project in that semester. If you have specific questions about convocation, please contact Sheila Singh at sheila_singh@sfu.ca.

Finally, all students pay mandatory Student Society fees. This enables you to participate in a range of benefits. It is vital that you familiarize yourself with the rules around certain of these benefits: U-Pass, the Health, Counselling and Career Centre and Graduate Student Health & Dental Plan.
