A lot of students (first years) have been asking me what to do after they have registered their courses. After you register for your courses, you need to buy your textbook. Your textbook should be available on MySFU (http://my.sfu.ca/). It should list your courses, books and the prices that they sell it for at the bookstore. You can buy them either online or at the bookstore.
From my past experiences, it is cheaper to buy your courses from 3rd parties (such as Chapters, Amazon). Just copy and paste your ISBC number to the amazon or chapters search box and see their price. Throughout the course of the last 3 semesters, I have saved a total of more than $400 from the listed price at MySFU.
Another thing that I would recommend is that if you are in the sciences or applied science, I would recommend you to get the Chapters iReward card. You get to save 10% on all books or textbooks that you buy from them. 10% is a lot when you are buying science or applied science textbook. The math textbook costs around $140. You get to save $14. That is only one course. If you were to buy textbooks for 4-6 courses, you would save around $60-$90, even though the membership price is $20.
After getting your textbooks, you will have to pay your tuition. If you are paying before August 31, you have the option of paying by credit card on the internet. If you do not wish to pay by credit card or you are paying after September 1, you will have to go to the Student Services Center in the Maggie Benson Center and pay your tuition there. You have the option of paying by Cash, Certified Cheque, or Debit Card (i think).
In the upcoming week, I will post why you cannot pay by credit card after September 1.
