Early (Conditional) Admission
Applicants currently completing high school may be eligible for an Early (Conditional) offer of admission based on preliminary high school marks. Saskatchewan students who will complete Grade 12 by June 2004 are encouraged to apply for Early (Conditional) Admission. Non-residents of Saskatchewan, including those on student authorizations, may be considered for Early (Conditional) Admission to the colleges whose quota allows for admission of non-residents.
To apply, applicants must complete and return an application for admission along with the non-refundable application fee. Applicants must also arrange to submit a preliminary statement of grades. Preliminary statements will be accepted following semester 1 of the applicant's grade 12 year and must list final grade 11 marks, semester 1 grade 12 marks and courses the applicant is registered in for semester 2.
Since it is expected that all direct entry colleges will be filled at the deadline date, applicants must apply by the application deadline to guarantee that their applications will be considered.
To be eligible for Early (Conditional) Admission, applicants must meet the minimum average of 65% on the subjects for admission. Because of enrolment limitations, the average for acceptance to some colleges may be higher than the stated minimum. For early applicants, the admission average will be calculated using the final marks for completed subjects and the projected or estimated marks for the subjects in progress.
Effective Fall 2005, a minimum average on subjects for admission will be 70%.
Early (Conditional) Admission applicants are accepted conditionally and must arrange with Saskatchewan Learning, or with the appropriate provincial Department of Education or other office maintaining such official records, to have an official statement of high school standing forwarded directly to Admissions, Student and Enrolment Services by August 1. Statements of high school standing will not be accepted from students directly, nor will unofficial or photocopied documents be accepted in place of official documents. Applicants will retain their acceptance only if the final marks are received and the required admission average has been maintained. A final acceptance letter will not be issued unless required for student permit purposes.

Regular Admission
Applicants who have completed Grade 12 and those who are in attendance at, or have attended, other post-secondary institutions may apply for Regular Admission. They must submit an application, the non-refundable application fee and other necessary documents by the application and document deadline dates.

Special (Mature) Admission
Special (Mature) Admission is available to Saskatchewan applicants who do not qualify for Regular Admission. Most direct entry colleges consider applicants for Special (Mature) Admission. Special (Mature) Admission may also be available to those applicants seeking Unclassified Studies.
1. To apply for Special (Mature) Admission you must meet the following criteria:
a. You must be 21 years of age by the first day of classes.
b. You must be a bona fide resident of Saskatchewan for a period of at least 12 months immediately prior to the first day of classes.
c. You must be entering the first year of study. Applicants with 18 credit units or more of transferable university-level credits are not eligible to apply for Special (Mature) Admission.
2. In order to be considered for Special (Mature) Admission you must submit the following information:
a. An application for admission form.
b. A $75.00 application fee.
c. Proof of age (e.g. photocopy of birth certificate or driver's license).
d. A written request for Special (Mature) Admission. Your written submission should demonstrate your capacity to undertake university-level studies and your commitment to educational goals. The request must include the college to which admission is sought (e.g., Arts & Science); why you have chosen this area of study; and a summary of your work and personal experience since leaving school. If you have a resume, it is suggested that you include it.*
e. Copies of supporting documents covering any non-credit programs you might have completed (e.g., Business College, job-related courses, Adult Basic Education, General Equivalency Diploma) should be included with your written submission.*
Note: Adult Basic Education subjects or the General Equivalency Diploma do not meet the prerequisite requirement for any university-level courses or programs.
f. If you have completed any Saskatchewan Grade 12 (or equivalent) subjects or courses at a recognized post-secondary institution we will require official transcripts. Please refer to the application for admission for transcript details.
* Although you are only required to submit one application for admission and one application fee, you will be required to prepare a separate package of the information in (d) and (e) above for each college (including Unclassified Studies) to which you are applying for Special (Mature) Admission.
3. Some colleges may require an interview as part of the admission procedure.
4. Certain Grade 12 subjects are prerequisites for particular areas of study at the University of Saskatchewan. For example, you are required to have completed Mathematics B30 and C30 (or, under the old mathematics curriculum, Algebra 30 and Geometry-Trigonometry 30), Chemistry 30 and Physics 30 if you plan to apply for Special (Mature) Admission to the College of Engineering. Contact Admissions, Student and Enrolment Services, for further details.
5. If you are accepted, you may be restricted to fewer than the usual number of credit units in your first year of study.
6. If you are accepted, it is recommended that you take advantage of the study skill sessions offered by Student Counselling Services on the Saskatoon campus each year in September/October.
Special (Mature) Admission is competitive and admission is not guaranteed. The admission decision is based on your written submission, demonstrated academic potential and, in some cases, an interview.

Open Admission
Admission is available to applicants who lack the academic requirements for Regular Admission and are not eligible for Special (Mature) Admission.
Effective Spring and Summer Session 2003, Open Admission is not available to students who do not meet the University's English Proficiency requirement.
Open Admission is not available to applicants who have successfully obtained 18 credit units or more at this or any other recognized post-secondary institution. Applicants applying for Open Admission must submit an application for admission and required secondary and post-secondary documents and the non-refundable application fee. Applicants who are accepted on the basis of Open Admission are students in Unclassified Studies. They are limited to registering in only 12 credit units per session, and no more than 6 credit units per term or 3 credit units per quarter. They must also apply for readmission in each subsequent session.
Following successful completion of at least 18 credit units, those admitted under Open Admission may apply for Regular Admission as full-time students in Unclassified Studies or apply to a college, provided they meet the competitive transfer average on courses accepted by the college.

Visiting Student
Visiting students may apply for admission at the University of Saskatchewan to register for courses they wish to transfer back to their home institution. Visiting students are accepted on the basis of an Official Letter of Permission (in lieu of official transcripts) issued directly to Admissions, Student and Enrolment Services, by their home institution. The Letter of Permission must list the course(s) in which the visiting student has been given permission to enrol. Visiting students are accepted for one session only and must apply for readmission for each subsequent session. Applicants must submit an application for admission and the required non-refundable application fee.

Audit Student
Audit student status is available to students who wish to sit in on a particular course but do not wish to take the course for credit. Auditing students are not entitled to have assignments corrected, nor to write any examinations. Students applying for audit status are not required to submit any documents but must fill out an application for admission and pay the required non-refundable application fee. Auditing students are accepted for one session only and must apply for readmission for each subsequent session. Admission as an audit student does not guarantee registration in a class. This is determined on the first day of classes and is subject to class enrolment limits.
|
Exchange Student
Exchange students are students who are undertaking studies at the University of Saskatchewan towards a degree at an institution in or outside of Canada with which the University of Saskatchewan has a formal exchange agreement. Exchange students are accepted for one session only and must re-apply for admission for each subsequent session with the approval of the home institution and the coordinator of the exchange program. Exchange students must submit an Application for Inbound Exchange Students, available from their home institution.
