Getting in
Can I get into SFU?
Tell us two things and we'll show where you'd sit among the students SFU admitted.
Overall
SFU doesn't publish an acceptance rate. Its institutional research office counts 14,548 offers of admission from 18,690 completed applications in 2025/26, across all types of applicant.
Grades aren't everything
Grades only for most programs. Business needs a supplemental application with a written answer, your achievements and two references. Music and Sound, Dance, Film and other Contemporary Arts programs need an audition, interview or portfolio, and Accelerated Law needs a supplemental application.
How your marks are counted
BC: SFU looks at all your approved academic Grade 11 and 12 courses, including the ones your program requires, and needs at least 70% in English 12. Early offers, from mid-November, use your Grade 11 marks and any Grade 12 marks so far. Ontario: all required Grade 11 courses and at least six Grade 12 U or M courses, with more weight on each program's List A courses and at least 70% in ENG4U.
Cost
What will my first year cost?
All Canadian students pay $220.61 a unit. International students who started in 2024/25 or later pay $1,262.88. Business, Engineering and Computing Science charge more, but only for 200-level courses and up. Supplementary fees add $527.56 a term.
After your first degree
Planning a professional degree?
Medicine, law and the rest start after university, not after Grade 12. Pick one to see what it asks for.

What is SFU's acceptance rate?
SFU doesn't publish one. Its institutional research office reports 14,548 offers of admission from 18,690 completed applications in 2025/26. That counts every type of applicant, not only high school students. For high school students, SFU publishes grade ranges by faculty instead.
