Enrolment Limitations

It should be carefully noted that possession of the minimum requirements does not in itself guarantee admission to any course, program, department or faculty at the University. In those instances where the number of qualified applicants exceeds the number that, in the opinion of the University, can be accommodated, the University reserves the right to select the quota from among the qualified applicants. Address all enquiries to: The Registrar, Simon Fraser University, 8888 University Drive, Burnaby, BC, V5A 1S6, Canada.

Protection of Privacy

Simon Fraser University collects and retains student and alumni personal information under the authority of the University Act (R.S.B.C. 1996, c.468, s. 27(4)(a)). The information is related directly to and needed by the University for the purposes of admission, registration, graduation and other activities related to its programs, being a member of the Simon Fraser University community and attending a public post secondary institution in the Province of British Columbia.

The information will be used to admit, register and graduate students, record academic achievement, issue library cards and transit passes and administer and operate academic, athletic, recreational, residences, alumni and other University programs. Information on admission, registration and academic achievement may also be used for statistical and research purposes by the University and, at the provincial level, through the BC Educational Records Linkage File (link file). The personal records in the link file are not identifiable and are not used for other administrative purposes.

In signing an application for admission, all applicants are advised that the information they provide and any other information placed into the student record will be protected and used in compliance with British Columbia’s Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (R.S.B.C. 1996, c. 165).

If you have any questions about the collection and use of your personal information, please contact the Dean of Student Services and Registrar, MBC 3300, Simon Fraser University, 8888 University Drive, Burnaby, BC V5A 1S6; 604.291.3111.

Notification of Disclosure of Personal Information to the BC University Student Outcomes Project

Each year, the BC University Student Outcomes Project gathers student outcomes information from graduates of BC’s universities in collaboration with The University Presidents Council (TUPC) and the Ministry of Advanced Education. Each BC university provides to the University Student Outcomes Project student identification information (student's name, student ID number), student contact information (address and telephone number), student demographic characteristics and academic program information. The information is used by the project to contact BC university graduates to conduct voluntary telephone surveys two and five years after graduation.

Survey participants are asked to report their level of program satisfaction, degree of skill development, education financing and debt load, participation in further education, and employment outcomes. The information gathered by the survey is summarized in aggregate form without identifying individual students. The data is used to meet the demand for university accountability at the system level in BC; to gather timely and relevant data for use in program evaluation and planning processes; and to ensure that new, continuing and prospective students are

provided with information they can use to help them make informed career decisions.

Notification of Disclosure of Personal Information to Statistics Canada

Statistics Canada is the national statistical agency. As such, Statistics Canada carries out hundreds of surveys each year on a wide range of matters, including education.

It is essential to be able to follow students across time and institutions to understand, for example, the factors affecting enrolment demand at post-secondary institutions. The increased emphasis on accountability for public investment means that it is also important to understand outcomes. In order to carry out such studies, Statistics Canada asks all colleges and universities to provide data on students and graduates. Institutions collect and provide to Statistics Canada student identification information (student’s name, student ID number, social insurance number), student contact information (address and telephone number), student demographic characteristics, enrollment information, previous education, and labor activity.

The federal Statistics Act provides the legal authority for Statistics Canada to obtain access to personal information held by educational institutions. The information may be used only for statistical purposes, and the confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act prevent the information from being released in any way that would identify a student.

Students who do not wish to have their information used are able to ask Statistics Canada to remove their identification and contact information from the national database.

Further information on the use of this information can be obtained from Statistics Canada’s web site www.statcan.ca or by writing to the Postsecondary Section, Centre for Education Statistics, 17th floor, R.H. Coats Building, Holland Avenue, Ottawa, K1A 0T6.

In addition, the policies, procedures, programs, regulations and requirements are constantly being reviewed and revised. Any such revision may be made by Simon Fraser University without notice and shall take effect at the time of the revision unless a later date is specified when the revision is adopted.

Revisions include additions, cancellations and deletions as well as changes.

History

The University is named after Simon Fraser, Loyalist, fur-trader and explorer, who in 1808 completed one of the greatest journeys in the annals of Canadian history by descending the mighty river which today bears his name. The Fraser family coat of arms forms the basis of the University’s coat of arms which appears on the title page of this Calendar. The colors of Simon Fraser University are red and blue.

In January 1963 a report entitled Higher Education in British Columbia and a Plan for the Future, by Dr. J.B. Macdonald, recommended the creation of a new university in the Lower Mainland. Two months later the establishment of Simon Fraser University received formal assent in the British Columbia Legislature, and in May of the same year Dr. Gordon M. Shrum was appointed Chancellor.

From a variety of sites which were offered, the Chancellor recommended to the Provincial Government that the top of 1200 foot Burnaby Mountain be selected for the new university. Lying east of Vancouver, the site commands magnificent views of Burrard Inlet, the mountains, the Fraser River and Vancouver Harbour.

Architects were invited to compete in the design of the overall campus. The Vancouver firm of Erickson/Massey won the competition, and the four architects who had been runners-up in the competition each designed at least one building within the overall plan. The outstanding architecture has won many awards.

Construction began in the spring of 1964 and eighteen months later, on September 9, 1965, Simon Fraser University opened to 2,500 students.

Since those early years the University has grown substantially. In September 2003 approximately 21,845 students were enrolled in courses. At the June 2003 Convocation ceremonies 2,597 degrees were conferred, while at the University’s October Convocation, 1,375 students received their degrees.

In keeping with Simon Fraser University’s commitment to accessibility, a downtown Vancouver campus was opened on May 5, 1989 in the historic Spencer Building at 515 West Hastings Street. Programs at the Simon Fraser University at Harbour Centre campus focus on the advanced recurring educational needs of the urban populace.

Simon Fraser University Surrey opened its doors in September 2002. The SFU satellite campus is growing and offers undergraduate and graduate degrees in various disciplines.

On April 7, 2003 the SFU Board of Governors approved changes to GP 18, the Harassment Policy, which expanded the scope of the policy to include discrimination as a proscribed behavior. As such, the Human Rights Policy responds to the University’s obligations under the BC Human Rights Code to provide a discrimination and harassment free environment for the students, faculty and employees of this University. The objectives of the expanded policy are to educate the University community about human rights issues and to provide procedures by which complaints of discrimination and harassment can be addressed, mediated and resolved.

To reach the Human Rights Office co-ordinator Brenda Taylor, visit, telephone, fax or e-mail at the numbers/addresses above.

Normal business hours are Monday to Friday, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm but the office is frequently closed when mediation sessions, meetings or seminars are in process. Appointments are necessary but can often be scheduled on the same day as contact is made with the office.

The principles of natural justice and impartiality govern the complaint process. The co-ordinator can offer advice and assistance to people who wish to deal with situations on their own or mediation services can also be provided. In exceptional circumstances, formal complaints are referred to an external investigator who is an experienced administrative lawyer.
