The Simon Fraser University Bookstore at Harbour Centre also carries a large selection of texts, other books and gift items. There is no cost for students registered in SFU courses. Students registered in the Certificate Program in Management may apply for a non-credit ID card available from the Information and Registration Services desk. There is a small administrative charge for these cards. Instructors are selected on the basis of academic credentials, industry experience and teaching abilities.
