This program provides two direct transfer pathways into the SFU Schools of Engineering Science, the SFU School of Mechatronic Systems Engineering, and the SFU School of Sustainable Energy Engineering: Assured Admission and Competitive Admission.
The following conditions apply:
- Applicants from both pathways must meet the general SFU English language and quantitative admission requirements.
- Admission into the Assured Admission pathway is limited to domestic students. International students are eligible for the Competitive Admission pathway which is dependent on the availability of international student seats at SFU within the School of Engineering Science, the School of Mechatronic Systems Engineering, and the School of Sustainable Energy Engineering.
- If the Assured Admission Program GPA required on the pathway courses in CNC's program is higher than the current CGPA cutoff for external transfer students transferring into SFU Faculty of Applied Sciences, students may be admitted via the assured pathway based on the current CGPA cutoff for external transfer students.
Assured Admission Pathway
To qualify for Assured Admission students must have a GPA of at least 2.75 on the required pathway courses (calculated by using the best attempt for each course) and an overall CGPA of 2.75 on any transferable coursework from all post-secondary institutions attended (calculated using the best attempt for each course). All credits must be obtained within 16 months. In addition, students must meet a minimum course load of 12 credits for at least two terms while enrolled in CNC's program.
Students who were required to withdraw or were not in good academic standing upon leaving a former post-secondary institution, or who were formerly in a Faculty of Applied Sciences program at SFU, are not eligible for consideration under the Assured Admission Pathway.
The School of Engineering Sciences:
- Provides a minimum of 10 seats for the assured admission pathway (for all the common first year engineering programs combined). If more than 10 applications are received in a given year, seats will be allocated on a competitive basis based on CGPA.
The School of Mechatronic Systems Engineering:
- Provides a minimum of 10 seats for the assured admission pathway (for all the common first year engineering programs combined). If more than 10 applications are received in a given year, seats will be allocated on a competitive basis based on CGPA.
The School of Sustainable Energy Engineering:
- Provides a minimum of 10 seats for the assured admission pathway (for all the common first year engineering programs combined). If more than 10 applications are received in a given year, seats will be allocated on a competitive basis based on CGPA. All applicants are required to submit a supplemental application which will be reviewed by the School of Sustainable Energy Engineering and SFU's Student Recruitment and Admission Office.
Competitive Admission Pathway
Students enrolled in CNC's program who either do not meet the assured admission pathway criteria or are outside of it's 10 seat allocation (for all the common first year engineering programs combined) may be eligible to enter the SFU School of Engineering Science, the SFU School of Mechatronic Systems Engineering, or the SFU School of Sustainable Energy Engineering based on existing Canadian college/university transfer criteria for admission (24 credits of transferable coursework, which must include the courses specified for Canadian college/university transfer into the Faculty of Applied Sciences and the respective Schools) found on the
Students must also meet the competitive admission GPA requirement for the Faculty of Applied Sciences for the term in which they are applying for admission to SFU.
Students applying for the SFU School of Sustainable Energy Engineering will also be required to submit a supplemental application. Information regarding the supplemental application may be found on the SFU Admissions Website.
