enrollment date

Anonymous — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 04:54:36 -0500

hey guys,

registration date for summer 2012 has been posted on GoSFU, what is your enrollment date for summer 2012 ?

I got a pretty bad date, 23rd March, and is that transfer students from other institution always get an enrollment date really late ?

Was just wondering if anyone knew how long the acceptance process takes. I'm sure I'll get in, but it's just hanging over my head right now. Thanks.

Reactivation to SFU

Anonymous slick — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 20:59:34 -0500

It's been a few years since I've taken any classes at SFU. I applied for reactivation on the SFU website, but it doesn't give timelines, confirmation of application, nothing. How and when would I find out my status? I see there is an email to contact the records department which I will do if I have to, but does anyone here have a similar experience?

Anyone wanna explain a bit about CMPT 165? What kind of knowledge does it require before taking the course? How is the course? Thanks.

Co-Op

Anonymous Julian — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 12:59:50 -0500

Hi all,

Just wondering how many of you guys are searching for a summer co-op position this semester. How is it going so far? Any tips for first timers, especially Arts students (criminology) would be greatly appreciated.

What is the lighting round?
Does the co-op coordinators send out the documents to employers after the deadline?

Thanks,
Happy spring semester (Cold!)

RTW- 3rd year going into fourth.

I was put on academic probation during summer 2011 and due to extenuating circumstances, I did not successfully complete Fall 2011 and was Required to withdraw. I know I have the option of applying for retroactive withdrawal under extenuating circumstances, but due to the fact that I take government student loans, its become a bit trickier for me to navigate the process to receive the withdrawals but not have to forgo student aid in the future. At the moment, I am enrolled in classes at another institution so that if I can't use the WE's or they are denied, I can still apply for readmission with a 3.5 GPA. What I'm concerned about is if I am even able to transfer credits that are 100 and 200 level (i.e. Psych 102 and Soc 250) if I was already taking 300 level courses at SFU, but in another faculty (i.e. Crim 300)? Does anybody have any experience with this process? I saw an academic advisor in December and to be quite honest, she was not much help and she did seem to have any definitive answers for me. I've made another appointment for next week with a different advisor, but in the meantime it would be helpful to hear from anyone who has experience here!

Thanks!
