Prospective College/University Transfer Students - Where to start
- Requirements: Before applying as a transfer student, you must have attempted a minimum of 24 units of transferable post-secondary course work. You may transfer up to a maximum of 60 units toward your degree program. If you have attempted 9 - 23 units and are in good academic standing (you have a minimum GPA of a 2.0) you will be required to meet high school application deadlines and admission requirements.
- Transfer Credit: Did you know that it's possible to complete some of your required coursework prior to starting your undergraduate degree at SFU? A BC/Yukon transfer guide listing all first and second year transferable courses along with the SFU equivalent is available at www.bctransferguide.ca. Courses that don't apply to the Archaeology major may be used toward WQB (Writing/Quantitative/Breadth) requirements when applicable.
