Certification Timeline

All current designations, if not recertified, will drop from the calendar as of Fall 2026. This is consistent with the recommendations approved by Senate in April 2023 in S.23-48 (https://www.sfu.ca/content/dam/sfu/senate/senate-documents/2023/0403/S.23-48.pdf).

In order to meet Senate submission deadlines for the Fall 2026 academic calendar, all recertification requests must be received by UCIL no later than November 4, 2025.

New certifications and recertifications will be reflected in the academic calendar as soon as possible. All designation removals will be effective in the closest Fall semester. These dates support calendar publication guidelines which prioritize student focused changes in the next available calendar cycle.
