You are required to complete at least one Writing course and one Quantitative course with a grade of C- or higher before completing 60 units. The rest of your WQB requirements must be completed before you graduate.

It is common for students to be undeclared even when they have exceeded 60 units. However, in the interest of graduating in a timely manner, we recommend that you declare a major by the middle of your second year at the latest.

Go to Degree planning to see all the available majors.

Once you have decided which major to declare, read the instructions below on how to declare a major.

Step 1: Complete the admission requirements for your chosen program. In some cases this may just be a matter of completing a specific set of courses; in others it may include satisfying a certain GPA requirement. Visit the Academic Calendar for specific requirements.

Step 2: If you are still unsure of the admission requirements for your chosen program, book an appointment with a general Academic Advisor to discuss them.

Step 3: Once you have completed the admission requirements for your chosen program, print out an advising transcript from the Student Information System (log in at go.sfu.ca ) and see the departmental advisor(s) for your program (go to the "Declared a major" tab for the contact list) in order to declare your major.

Once you have declared your major, all further course planning concerns should be directed to your departmental advisor.

Changing your major program is not very different from declaring your major program. Follow the same steps as above to switch your program: complete admission requirements, see an Academic Advisor, and then speak to the departmental advisor. However, you will also need to get your new department advisor to deactivate you from your formerly declared program.
