Frequently Asked Questions

SFU Beedie School of Business accepts applications for our Fall (September) and Spring (January) terms for students applying through the High School admission pathway. 

In EducationPlannerBC, the campus you select (e.g. Burnaby or Surrey) will determine where you take BUS 201 - Introduction to Business, which is a mandatory course for your first term in the business program. 

Admission to SFU Beedie is not campus specific. For example, an applicant does not have better odds at gaining admission if they apply for the Burnaby campus as opposed to the Surrey campus.

No. Applicants apply for a Joint Major program or declare a Business Concentration(s) once they have been accepted and started the program. Our program is designed to give you foundational knowledge in the different concentration areas so that you can discover your passions and align future career goals before you begin to deepen your knowledge in your chosen field - we encourage BBA students to declare their concentration by their third year. 

More information on our nine concentrations, including Accounting, Marketing, Finance, Strategic Analysis and more, can be found here. Once you've been admitted, connect with a Beedie Academic Advisor to plan your next steps.

The SFU Admissions Department requests, receives, and evaluates all documents (e.g. transcripts, IELTS, SAT etc.) for admission. Required documents for admission can be reviewed in your Student Center once you have submitted your application through EducationPlannerBC.

Your Supplemental Application will be evaluated by SFU Beedie's Supplemental Evaluation Committee. Applicants are competitively selected for admission based on a combination of their academic performance and Supplemental Application.

At the SFU Beedie School of Business, we believe marks matter, but so do your experiences, achievements, and communications skills. That’s why we’re asking you to submit your original work, without the assistance of ChatGPT, etc. Large language models such as ChatGPT and others reduce your voice and creativeness in your responses. We’re not looking for a perfect response. We’re looking to learn more about you, your experiences, and why you want to study at the SFU Beedie School of Business.

You may review your item statuses by reviewing the To Do List in your Student Center. Items that have been received by SFU Admissions will have a green check mark.

The self-reported grades process is completed in your Student Center under the Admission section. More information about what to report can be found here.

We encourage students presenting grade 11 and grade 12 grades (or equivalent) in the 80s and above to apply.

No. Calculus 12 (or equivalent) cannot be used in place of Pre-Calculus 12 for admission.

You can review the course requirements for High School applicants across different curricula here. If you do not meet the requirements for admission, you may wish to apply to another SFU Faculty and review our Internal Transfer admission pathway for current SFU students, or pursue the College/University Transfer admission pathway.

SFU Beedie School of Business Fall applicants with a complete and eligible Entrance Scholarship Application (including all transcripts, references and any additional documents required for admission) are not required to submit the Supplemental Application.

I'm working on starting EDGE SFU to support students who might not have the same opportunities as other students. The goal is to help to provide financial support, scholarships, and job postings. It’s a lot of work getting this club off the ground, but I enjoy helping other students.

The flexibility SFU Beedie offers enabled me to combine my interests in my joint major in international business and economics, but also offered so much through experiential learning and opportunities to get involved. There is so much that the time passes very quickly, so it’s important to make the most of it while you can.

You will never know unless you try. There are always going to be opportunities to add value – it's just a matter of how you view it.
