Paying via Flywire
Payments through Flywire are now available on your goSFU account. This payment option is available for transactions both within Canada and internationally. Processing time through Flywire depends on the payment method chosen in the Flywire portal.
Paying via internet banking
When using internet banking to make a payment (see also Bill Payment), please allow two to three business days for the payment to be reflected on your SFU student account. Make sure to select 'Simon Fraser University' as the payee and enter your student number as the account number.
Paying in-person
You can make a payment in person at any of the three Registrar and Information Services counters. This will ensure that the payment is immediately reflected on your SFU student account. The accepted methods of payment include Canadian bank debit cards and Canadian personal cheques. Cheques can also be dropped off in the cheque drop box located in MBC 3200 on the Burnaby campus.
Please note that digital wallet payments, such as Google Pay, Apple Pay, and AliPay, are not accepted at the counter.
Flywire payment plan
If you are experiencing financial difficulties, you can opt for a Flywire Payment Plan to pay in installments. Your account will be considered in good standing for the next term's enrolment as long as you meet Flywire's installment requirements.
Please note that enrolling in payment plans does not exempt students from monthly interest charges. Any unpaid balances beyond the tuition deadline will incur a 2% monthly interest charge.

Admission deposit*
*The admission deposit is non-refundable and non-transferable.
Payment options
We accept Visa and MasterCard credit cards for the undergraduate admission deposit. To make your payment, please visit goSFU and navigate to "My admission to SFU" and then "View and pay my fees." The undergraduate admission deposit amounts to $250 for Canadian students and $5,000 for international students.
Graduate students can pay by credit card through their graduate student online application system or utilize one of the other payment methods listed on the page. Please note that admission deposit amounts may vary by graduate program.
Important: The non-refundable admission deposit payment may initially appear under a different academic term. This is normal. The credit will automatically apply to the correct term once you are enrolled in classes.
How to pay your admission deposit
- Log in to your student account via goSFU and go to "Campus Finances / Make a Payment" by the deadline specified in your offer of admission letter.
- Credit card payments made online are processed immediately; if you pay by internet banking or by cheque, please allow at least two to three business days for your deposit to be processed before you enrol in classes. This deposit will be deducted from your total tuition; it's not an additional charge.
If you have enrolled in courses and later decided to attend another institution or withdraw from SFU, please drop all your SFU courses as soon as possible to avoid being held responsible for any outstanding tuition and fees in your student account.
