Who can register for SFU Library Research Commons workshops?
Registration priority
Demand for Research Commons workshops is high, and we give priority to current SFU faculty, staff, and students.
However if spaces remain in the days leading up to the event, we can often permit those currently unaffiliated with SFU to attend.
Wait list for researchers not currently affiliated with SFU
If you are not a current SFU faculty member, staff member, post-doctoral fellow, or student and would like to attend a Research Commons workshop, get in touch. We will add you to a wait list and contact you if a last-minute spot opens up.
To be added to a wait list, please email rcommons@sfu.ca with the name of the workshop you are interested in, and your full name and contact email.
Note: this policy does not extend to workshops offered by the Student Learning Commons.
