Visiting Research Students

 

Simon Fraser University welcomes graduate students from other institutions in Canada and abroad who wish to visit in order to undertake research. Normally, this occurs when a student at another university makes arrangements to visit SFU in order to work under the supervision of a professor at Simon Fraser University. A typical visit would be for one term.

Canadian and international students must follow the process defined by the Canadian Association for Graduate Studies, and accessible here.

Please note the following:

  1. SFU does not charge tuition fees to visiting research students, but they will be asked to pay fees to cover student services and recreations/athletics
  2. Visiting research students must have medical coverage.
  3. All visiting research students must register for GRAD 800. This course carries no credit and will not be graded.
  4. Visiting research students may not take undergraduate or graduate courses while attending SFU. Students from other institutions who wish to take courses may apply as exchange students or as non-degree students.
