Bachelor of Business Administration diploma/degree program changes
|
The Bachelor of Business Administration now offers a choice of six majors:
Learn more about the degree program, admission requirements, program outline and costs. The program has also moved to a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program for all new students entering — including those who come into advanced standing from the BA diploma. |
|
The intakes for the BBA program run once per year, in September. It's offered through full-time studies only, though students may choose to take a reduced course load. You have ten years in total to complete the program starting from your first course (include BA diploma courses if you are laddering in). |
|
Students are accepted to the program on a full-time basis and may choose to reduce their course load during the add/drop period. At this time, classes run during the day only — between the hours of 8 am - 6 pm. Please note that by reducing your course load, it will take more time to complete the program and all course requirements must be completed within ten years from the start of your first course. |
|
If you are confirmed or waitlisted for the BA diploma program and meet the requirements for the BBA degree program, you can contact an academic advisor to discuss your options for switching. |
|
Graduates of the BA diploma are eligible to apply for advanced standing in the expanded BBA. Students must meet the BBA admission requirements and admission will be a competitive process. The amount of credit granted may vary based on major and which electives were chosen. |
|
It's important to compare the programs and make the decision that is right for you. You can also contact an academic advisor for more information.

Technical support
Technical support for students is available for general troubleshooting — access to SAIT's wireless network, storage and printing, assistance with anti-virus or hardware issues and resources such as mySAIT, Brightspace (D2L) and more.
Additional resources
Managing your course schedule
|
Students are automatically registered into their semester courses. If you wish to make changes to your schedule, add a course or drop a course you must meet with an Academic Chair or Student Services Coordinator — made only with their approval — during the add/drop period at the beginning of the semester to put together a suitable timetable. If you are a student who wishes to switch their entire block schedule, you must find another student in the other block to switch with and changes can be made online. Students in the Bachelor of Applied Business Administration - Accounting program are required to self-register for courses during the summer. You can view your course schedule online at mySAIT:

|
If you are on academic probation, you will be notified through your SAIT email account. It is your responsibility to check your SAIT email regularly. Students who fail to achieve the specified minimum semester GPA or cumulative program GPA at the end of a term will be placed on academic probation. The Office of the Registrar will notify each student in writing regarding the terms of their academic probation. |
Tuition and financial aid
|
Paying for your education can feel overwhelming, but there are resources and programs that can help, including information about your payment options, student loans, grants and scholarships. |
|
Dates are critical in determining whether you receive a fees refund and how much you'll get back, as well as eligibility to receive a refund of your tuition deposit. |
