Saskatchewan Institute of Agrologists
The Agrologists Act, 1994, requires that persons practicing agrology in the Province of Saskatchewan be registered members of the Saskatchewan Institute of Agrologists.
University of Saskatchewan graduates who intend to practice agrology within the meaning of the Act, must apply to be registered as articling agrologists immediately upon graduation. Bachelor of Science in Agriculture and Bachelor of Science (Agribusiness) students are eligible to join as student members. Further details on the Agrologists Act, the definition of practicing agrology, and the Saskatchewan Institute of Agrologists may be obtained from the Executive Director, Saskatchewan Institute of Agrologists, 29-1501 8th St E, Saskatoon SK S7H 5J6; Website:

All Bachelor of Science in Agriculture specializations offered by the College of Agriculture and Bioresources were granted full accreditation by the Agricultural Institute of Canada in 1999 and again in 2007. Graduates are thus eligible for admission to the professional practice of Agrology in Canada.
The Bachelor of Science in Agribusiness degree was granted full accreditation in 2007.
In 1998 the Saskatchewan Institute of Agrologists established a category of membership for Diploma graduates - Agricultural Technologist.
