As often happens, the answer is "Talk to your academic advisor". On Academic Advising page:

https://www.sfu.ca/students/academicadvising/major.html

under Declaring a Major

"Step 1: Complete the admission requirements for your chosen program. In some cases this may just be a matter of completing a specific set of courses; in others it may include satisfying a certain GPA requirement. Visit the Academic Calendar for specific requirements.

Step 2: If you are still unsure of the admission requirements for your chosen program, book an appointment with a general Academic Advisor to discuss them.

Step 3: Once you have completed the admission requirements for your chosen program, print out an advising transcript from the Student Information System (log in at go.sfu.ca ) and see the departmental advisor(s) for your program (go to the "Declared a major" tab for the contact list) in order to declare your major.

Once you have declared your major, all further course planning concerns should be directed to your departmental advisor."
