| Requirements | SFU does not have a minimum GPA requirement for inbound exchange students. |
| Courses at Master's level | Yes, but there are limitations and uncertainties: do read this website carefully. Simon Fraser can accept graduate students from Utrecht, though we must note that most graduate students study at the undergraduate level while on exchange at SFU (especially when they are in the 1st year of their Masters degree, ie their 4th year of university study). If students wish to take graduate level courses, their application will need to be reviewed by the academic unit. Our page for Graduate Students outlines the various considerations and processes for grad students. |
