The Beedie School of Business recognizes that academics alone do not tell your whole story. Starting with the Fall 2024 intake, transfer applicants will demonstrate preparedness for our program through their efforts inside and outside of the classroom.

As an applicant, you will be evaluated on your SFU CGPA and a Supplemental Application. The Supplemental Application is a space to showcase your personal experiences, achievements and communication skills. You have worked hard, and we want to better understand the person behind your grades!

Admission success will continue to be based on the size and competitiveness of the applicant pool, and the number of spaces we have available in our program.

A CGPA allows our admissions team to assess your performance in all academic subjects.

The 4 required courses assess fundamental qualitative and quantitative skills, are commonly used for business school admission, and are built into the first year of our BBA program.

The 8 required courses assess fundamental qualitative and quantitative skills, and map to the required lower division requirements of our BBA program. 

Students wishing to stay on-track with our first and second year BBA program degree requirements are encouraged to review our Degree Checklists by year and connect with a Beedie Academic Advisor for guidance on term and degree course planning.

The Beedie School of Business accepts applications for our Fall (September), Spring (January), and Summer (May) terms for students applying through the Internal Transfer Pathway for current SFU students. 

No. Applicants are able to declare a Business Concentration(s) once they have been admitted to the program. More information on our nine concentrations, including Accounting, Marketing, Finance, Strategic Analysis and more, can be found here.

Applications are evaluated by the Beedie Undergraduate Admissions team to verify that you have met the minimum grade and course requirements above.

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

Applicants must present a minimum 2.67 SFU CGPA at the time of evaluation to be eligible for admission consideration.

If you repeat a required course for admission, the highest course attempt is included in your SFU CGPA. Students must have final, standard letter grades in the required courses at the time of application submission. 

Students with more than 3 SFU course repeats are less likely to be admitted as the Beedie School of Business complies with SFU's 5 Course Repeat policy. You will not be eligible for Internal Transfer admission if you require more than 5 repeats to complete a BBA degree. For more information on this policy, please go please go here.

A P grade from the Fall 2023 term can be used to satisfy the required courses for admission to SFU Beedie. Further, P grades from Fall 2023 will not be included in the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) calculation. For more information, please visit Student Services’ website or connect with a Beedie Academic Advisor.

You will have access to the Supplemental Application at the time you submit your application. Be sure that you satisfy the admission requirements before completing the Supplemental Application, and paying the fee. 

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.

Applications are evaluated once the Internal Transfer Application deadline has passed. Updates on your application status will be sent to your @SFU email prior to the first day of enrollment for the subsequent term. Please be sure to monitor your @SFU email frequently for updates following the deadline to apply.

Admission to the Beedie School of Business is based on multiple factors, including the number of spaces we have available in our program and the size and competitiveness of the applicant pool. Please refer to communications from the Beedie School of Business for more information on why your application was denied. If you require further clarification as to why your application has been cancelled, please contact our office at bsb_admit@sfu.ca.

You may submit an appeal to the Beedie School of Business Appeals Committee provided you meet eligible grounds for an appeal. Please review appeal eligibility and instructions.
