Student Responsibility
Each student is responsible for ensuring that their academic choices meet the requirements for graduation. All requirements are outlined in the SFU Calendar. Advisors are available to provide guidance. However, the student has ultimate responsibility for compliance with and completion of the program and degree requirements and for observing regulations and deadlines.
The SFU Calendar is the official governing document containing regulations regarding your academic career at SFU. The calendar that is in effect when you take your first course at SFU governs your degree requirements. The calendar that is in effect when you declare a psychology plan governs the plan requirements. It is advisable that you obtain and keep a copy of the relevant calendars.
Please note that newly admitted students, including transfer students, are not automatically declared into the academic programs below. For access to upper division psychology coursework, students must declare before the enrollment periods.
Psychology declaration deadlines:
March 1 (Summer), July 1 (Fall), and November 1 (Spring)
Honours
The two-semester honours program will provide you with the opportunity to work closely with a faculty member on original research. You will gain valuable research training by planning, conducting, and presenting research, and guidance about applying to graduate school. In the honours seminar, you will be exposed to a wide range of research being conducted by fellow cohort members. This experience will connect you to likeminded students and prepare you for graduate programs
