Welcome to the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences!
Congratulations on your offer
Upcoming Workshops
Here are your next steps
May 2025
This is an important decision you are making and we know there are many factors to consider before deciding on which school or which major to choose. Don't worry—you have some time!
Sign up for the #KnowYourSFU event on April 24 (Thursday), 5-8 pm and get to know the SFU community in-person! Meet with faculty representatives and learn more about the programs you're interested in. You'll also be introduced to various services and resources across our three campuses, that will help support you throughout your studies.
Course Selection Workshop
This is the BEST part! You will receive hands on support from advisors and peer mentors who will provide guidance, answer questions, and show you some tips and tricks regarding course selection. After a 30 minute workshop you'll have one hour in an SFU computer lab to practice, while we help!
Sample Lectures
A professor will give a sneak peek of their classes with a Prof Talk, and are available to answer your questions.
JULY 2025
You will receive a specific date when you are eligible to enrol in your classes. To check for your enrolment date, sign into goSFU.
Ideally, students review their class options prior to their enrolment date in order to prepare and make notes. SFU also has some tips to make this process smoother. To browse the course catalog, sign into goSFU, then select the term and search.

It's the first day on campus and everywhere is buzzing with excitement!
When you arrive on campus head over to the new student check-in. Once you have checked-in you can join your FASS HIVE group for a day of activities. Your HIVE leader will take you on a campus tour and invite you to sit in on sample lectures. Be sure to check out the Department Fair and learn more about each FASS department and have your questions answered. Relax and enjoy a free BBQ lunch with new friends.
All new SFU undergraduates are invited—and encouraged—to attend Welcome Day! You can find your invitation in the Get Started newsletter. Don't forget to check your SFU email inbox! Make sure to RSVP right away.
