Information for Students who began the GDE at TQS Category 4 prior to May 2008

Please note that the TQS requires 30 credits of study to move from Category 4 to 5, and 30 additional credits AND completion of a Masters degree in order to move from Category 5 to 6. Completing SFU’s GDE will enable you to move from Category 4 to 5. Completing the 4 courses (20 additional credits) required for the MEd EP will not be sufficient to move from Category 5 to 6. An additional 10 credits will be required prior to conferring the degree in order to move to Category 6. This may require one or two additional semesters of study, along with payment of tuition. Applicants who are in this situation should email edprgpa@sfu.ca to discuss alternatives for earning the additional credits.

Students who wish to obtain a Masters degree without meeting the requirements of TQS Category 6, are invited to apply to complete the 4 courses (20 credits) only. This will result in a completed MEd EP and TQS Category 5.
