SFU Policies and Supports
Can I start my classes late?
If you are unable to start your program on time, please reach out to your respective instructors and inform them of your late arrival. You should also discuss and explore possible academic concession options with your instructors. The final decision on your request for academic concessions will be granted at the discretion of your individual instructors. To learn more about the academic concessions available to students, please click here.
If you have further questions about your academic options at SFU, you should consult an academic/program advisor. Please also keep in mind the add/drop deadlines in the event your study permit is not approved.
