Simon Fraser University is a leading research university, advancing an inclusive and sustainable future.

Our purpose – the essence of SFU – is to create and connect knowledge, learning and community for deeper understanding and meaningful impact.

We are committed to fostering excellence, innovation, belonging and community in all that we do.

Student Recruitment & Admissions at Simon Fraser University is often the front door for newly admitted students as they embark upon their academic journey.

The Undergraduate Admissions unit is dedicated to an inclusive and accessible approach to admission, involving the processing and evaluation of student applications according to current admission standards and best practices on a global scale.

We seek to be student-centred in our policies and procedures to meet a diverse applicant community and are proactive and responsive in our effort to support enrolment management at the institutional level.

The Admissions Coordinator provides admission decisions in the evaluation of applications and transfer credits at a professional level, involving judgements based on complex criteria in alignment with Senate-mandated admission policies and practices. The Admissions Coordinator recommends operational and tactical improvements for undergraduate admission, supports the assessment and development of international and domestic admission requirements by analyzing quantitative and qualitative data and provides forecasts and briefing notes as required. In collaboration with the supervisor, the role develops, plans, implements and evaluates admission strategies in order to meet University enrollment targets while acting as a key contact for faculty level advisors and international agents. The Coordinator engages and builds relationships with stakeholders and partners across the University; collaborates and provides input on key issues and initiatives such as admission, eligibility and institution level student services policies and processes, ensuring that colleagues across the institution have up-to-date knowledge of admissions standards and best practices, and provides advice on admission strategies as requested.
