Prospective Exchange/Study Abroad Students: Restricted Courses

Due to possible time conflicts between courses, lack of availability of some courses, missing pre-requisites, or department restrictions on space due to demand, the exchange/study abroad student's acceptance to participate in a formal exchange/study abroad program at SFU does not guarantee placement in the courses the exchange/study abroad student has requested on his/her exchange/study abroad application form. Some academic programs and courses have limited access or are closed to exchange/study abroad students.

Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences/French Cohort Program

The Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences offers a B.A. in Public Administration and Community Services, taught primarily in French. This is a specialized program also known as the French Cohort Program, which is not open to incoming exchange/study abroad students. Courses instructed in French within this program are restricted.

Faculty of Business Administration

Access to Business Administration (BUS) for exchange/study abroad students is limited and is restricted to students from universities with specific Business exchange/study abroad agreements with SFU. See Business Exchange/Study Abroad Partner Universities. The only courses open to all exchange/study abroad students are BUS 272, BUS 251 and BUS 237.

School for the Contemporary Arts

To enroll in any Contemporary Arts (FPA) courses - Theatre, Visual Art, Music (composition) or Dance - you MUST contact the School for the Contemporary Arts, in addition to completing the regular Admission as an Exchange/Study Abroad Student application, to discuss your course interests and background. 

Undergraduate students are asked to contact the undergraduate advisor in Contemporary Arts, Dean Lastoria, prior to our exchange/study abroad application deadline.

Graduate students are asked to contact the Graduate Program secretary in Contemporary Arts, mfagrad@sfu.ca, prior to our exchange/study abroad application deadline.

It is extremely rare for exchange/study abroad students to be given access to "studio courses" offered at a level higher than first year (100 level). You may be required to present a portfolio or attend an interview or audition to determine what courses may be available to you. FPA courses are generally quite small and access is restricted. FPA courses in film/video production and screenwriting ARE NOT accessible to exchange/study abroad students.
