Pay the application fee
The preferred payment method for the undergraduate application fee is by credit card on the Student Information System under "My admission to SFU" and "view and pay my fees." For help, see Student Information System help.
Graduate students can pay by credit card through their graduate student online application system, or use one of the other methods listed on this page.
All Registrar and Information Services - General Enquiries counters accept payments for tuition and other fees, and respond to all general enquiries about student accounts.
You can check the current balance of your student account online: click on Finances.
Pay the admission deposit
The preferred payment method for the undergraduate admission deposit is by credit card on the Student Information System under "My admission to SFU" and "view and pay my fees."
Graduate students can pay by credit card through their graduate student online application system, or use one of the other methods listed on this page.
Please note: The $100 non-refundable admission deposit payment might not go into the term you intend to enroll in. This is because payments are credited according to the default term set up on the student information system, which only changes midway through the terms. However, your account will NOT be adversely affected by this. Once you enroll in classes, the $100 credit will automatically move to the term in which you are enrolled.
Pay tuition fees and other student fees
Paying by internet banking is the most convenient method of payment. Allow two to three business days for the payment to be posted to your SFU student account .
We do not accept credit card payment for tuition fees.
