Advising
Our Approach
The Student Success Team is committed to providing a supportive and non-judgmental atmosphere that prioritizes exploration and supports both your educational and personal development.

Have you heard about Guidance Advisors?
Guidance Advisors are an essential part of FIC student leadership and the Student Success Team. This group of student leaders are made of FIC alumni who have transferred to SFU, volunteering to give back to the FIC student community. Trained thoroughly by the Student Success Team, they help by answering day-to-day questions and concerns, as well as provide that personal support for transitioning to university life. Guidance Advisors are trained on everything from FIC’s pathway programs and requirements, to volunteer opportunities. Find them at the 2nd floor welcome desk or around the FIC building!
Ready to Connect?
Student Success Advisors are available in-person at FIC, 2nd floor Welcome Desk. You are welcome to email the team at advising@learning.fraseric.ca but we do encourage connecting with us in-person whenever possible! Hours can be found on the FIC Student Portal.
