Yes: the confirmation of enrolment letter that you download yourself is an official SFU document.  The letter has embedded security features that will assist staff in verifying the authenticity of the document.

Undergraduate students can meet with your department advisor and/or faculty advisor to request a program extension. Your advisor will submit a “Program Extension Form” to the Registrar and Information Services Office which confirms when you will finish your degree requirements. This form is used to produce a custom Confirmation of Enrolment letter, which will be emailed to you or made available for pick up at your preferred Registrar and Information Services office within five business days. This process will not automatically update the Confirmation of Enrolment letter that you access online via the Student Centre.  

If you need to confirm your enrolment with Student Loans, please see a Financial Aid Advisor.  Find contact information for Financial Aid and Awards at: www.sfu.ca/students/financialaid/contact.html.
