First, we have three semesters a year, Fall, Spring and Summer. This means you can start your studies at three different times, attend all year, or take any semester off. Third, we have over 100 programs, from Accounting to Women's Studies, which you can study in many combinations of majors, joint majors, honours, minors, extended minors and concentrations. Finally, we have excellent recreation and sports facilities, and many services and clubs to meet your financial, physical, emotional and spiritual needs. Each trimester has its own registration and exam period and is totally separate from all other trimesters.
Students can start their studies in the first, second or third trimester.
Language of Instruction Primarily English although some courses may be taught in another language. All of these scholarships, awards and bursaries are supported through a combination of operating funds, interest from endowments and private donations. The Off Campus Housing Office at SFU has a current listing of landlords and roommates in the surrounding communities who offer accommodation to SFU students. Listings are updated and posted regularly, displaying locations and costs, and indicating whether the accommodation is a room, an apartment, a townhouse, a house, single occupancy or shared. Another program offered in 3rd week of December and first week of January prior to Spring semester.
