Split Enrolment
When students are enrolled at more than one post-secondary institution during the same study period, students can attain split enrolment status to accommodate situations where they are unable to obtain the necessary courses at one post-secondary institution and as a result are studying at more than one post-secondary institution during the same study period.
At SFU, unless you are enrolled in the SFU-Langara Partnership program, or a Psychology Major with ABA Concentration, you must have an approved Letter of Permission in place if you want to take courses at another institution and have them count towards your enrolment for government-issued student financial assistance (student loans and grants).
You apply for funding or in-study payment-free status through your “home institution.” Your “home institution” is the post-secondary institution from which you will receive your credential.
At SFU, students enrolled in an non-degree program or qualifying studies are not eligible for Split Enrolment.
Which institution to apply to for funding
This information is for students whose “home institution” is Simon Fraser University (SFU). If SFU is not your “home institution,” please contact the Financial Aid Office of the other post-secondary institution you are attending.
Students must provide Financial Aid and Awards with a completed Split Enrolment form that will be evaluated. Students with an eligible Split Enrolment will have the units/credits from their other institution added to their SFU units/credits in order to be considered for government-issued student financial assistance (full or part-time funding).
SFU Administered Funding
Split enrolment students are not eligible for any SFU-based scholarships, awards and bursaries unless they meet our full-course enrolment eligibility criteria.
Student Loans & Grants
Various government student financial assistance options are available, including both student loans and grants (non-repayable funding).
US Federal Direct Loans
Students enrolled in a minimum of half-time studies (i.e. 8 units or more) at SFU are eligible to apply for US Federal Direct Loans through SFU. Douglas College and Langara College are not certified to administer US Direct Loans. For further information, please visit our US Student Resources information.
