Frequently Asked Questions
Can I just rely on the APR without consulting an Academic Advisor throughout my Undergraduate career?
No, it is recommended that you consult your Academic Advisor.
Why does a new course not appear in the course list?
A New course will not appear in the course list until first day of the term.
For example,
- If a new course is effective Fall 2025, it will appear in the course list starting on Sept 1, 2025.
- If a new course is effective Spring 2026, it will appear in the course list starting on Jan 1, 2026.
- If a new course is effective Summer 2026, it will appear in the course list starting on May 1, 2026.
What should I do if there is a mismatch of the program requirements between the APR and Academic Calendar?
Program requirements in the APR should always match with Academic Calendar. If you notice a mismatch, please consult your Academic Advisor or email to aprusers@sfu.ca.
What is the difference between APR and My Planner?
The APR is only for:
- Current undergraduate students admitted from Fall 2006 onwards
- Students declared in a major, honours, minor, extended minor, or certificate program (for example, Political Science Major) or degree program (for example, Bachelor of General Studies - Education)
My Planner, on the other hand, works for all students, including second degree, post baccalaureate, and grad programs. Please see an academic advisor for assistance if any of the above situations applies to you.
