Though designed for people immigrating from other countries, the Saskatchewan Immigration website has a lot of helpful information, even for a Canadian resident:
- finding a place to live
- signing up for power, telephone, and, if you so choose, cable and a cell phone
- how to get your Saskatchewan Health Card
- your Saskatchewan Driver’s Licence
Remember that as a full-time University of Saskatchewan student you automatically have health and dental coverage, unless you choose to opt out.
Be aware that the University of Saskatchewan uses a percentage scale (0-100%) to grade; we don’t use letters or the four point system.
It is difficult at first to determine where your grades fall within the wider university, but the U of S grading system should help put things into perspective, as will shifting your expectations.
We may also do other things differently from how you’re used to doing them, so don’t be afraid to ask questions so that you know what to expect.
