Canadian University Transfer

General Requirements

You may be considered for admission if you have completed, or are in the process of completing, 24 units of transferable course work from a recognized Canadian university. You may transfer up to a maximum of 60 units towards your degree program.

SFU supports the Pan-Canadian Protocol on transferability of first and second year courses from any recognized Canadian university. We will assess possible transfer credit only after we have received your application for admission. We may request that you provide detailed course outlines to assist with the evaluation of transfer credit.

A detailed course outline includes:
  • A statement of the course objectives
  • A detailed outline of the course

  • Hours per week of lecture (laboratory / tutorial / seminar / studio work)
    - the hours per week of required open laboratory work, or open studio work
  • The method of evaluation and grading

If you are not in good standing or have been required to withdraw from another university, you will be considered for admission only if you have completed 24 units or more of transferable course work since being required to withdraw. A GPA on the further course work of at least .50 points above the regular admission GPA is required.

Transfer from Institutes of Technology/Colleges of Applied Arts & Technology


If you have completed a two or three year recognized academic diploma at a college of applied arts and technology (Ontario) or at a Canadian institute of technology (including BCIT), you may be admitted provided you achieve a competitive overall, final average.

The amount of transfer credit awarded varies depending on the diploma program. Not all diploma programs receive transfer credit; in some cases applicants may use the completed diploma as a basis of admission to the university, but no transfer credit will be granted. Applicants can contact the Admissions office for information regarding the transferability of diploma programs.

All applicants are required to meet the English Language and Literacy, and Quantitative and Analytical Skills requirements

Visiting Students

If you are currently a student at another university you may apply for admission to complete specified courses for subsequent transfer back to your “home” university. You should apply in the normal manner and you will be evaluated as a University Transfer applicant (see Canadian Universities tab).

In addition to the general requirements for admission, you must meet the English Language and Literacy requirement, and the Quantitative and Analytical Skills requirement. Original, official documentation must be submitted for evaluation purposes. No transfer credit or enrollment priority is awarded.
