institutions Students may transfer a maximum of 60 credits toward
an SFU degree within Arts and Social Sciences Transfer credits processed every semester, guided by
existing transfer agreements (www.bccat.bc.ca)
Academic Considerations Students must maintain a 2.0 GPA to stay in the
program SFU degree requirements determine what students
have to take Academic policies/practices “follow the tuition” Student performance information exchanged by
Registrars (transcripts sent each semester, no cost to students)
• Information about financial aid, academic dishonesty, inappropriate conduct, etc., is also shared between Douglas and SFU
Financial Aid, Health Plan, and Upass
Students are eligible for Financial Aid at the institution where they are taking the highest number of credits each term or where they are playing (in the case of athletic scholarships)
Students must have medical/dental coverage and can select coverage from either SFU or Douglas
Students can obtain the UPass if they are enrolled in at least one SFU course
Student Services, Areas of Study, and Advising
Student Services also “follow the tuition” SFU will charge a student services fee based on how many
SFU courses students are taking Douglas will charge a fee based on how many Douglas
courses students are taking There is no minimum number of SFU or Douglas courses
that students must take each semester to stay in the program
Students can explore courses outside Arts and Social Sciences. However, if they declare a Major outside Arts and Social Sciences, they will be dropped from the program.
