COVID-19 update

With the health and safety of our students and employees top of mind, SAIT is following the Government of Alberta’s guidance specific to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Residence buildings will be open and accepting students. Prior to applying for Residence please check the status of your program, as your program delivery may be solely online.
Housing assignments will be conducted in a manner that promotes physical distancing such that one student will be roomed in a two-bedroom suite and two students will be roomed in a four- bedroom suite and all residents will have their own washroom.
Increased sanitization efforts will continue within the Residence buildings.
We will continue to comply with protocols related to social distancing and community gatherings.

Please refer to the frequently asked questions at sait.ca/covid19 for the most up-to-date information about your studies, and for the latest details on SAIT's pandemic preparedness measures.
