General education development tests (GED)
SAIT accepts GED test results in lieu of the specific program admission requirements on a limited basis. This is in alignment with Apprenticeship and Industry Training Alberta for entry to our pre-employment programs only.
Consider our Academic Upgrading program as a pathway to meet the requirements for all other programs.
Home school courses
We will only accept homeschool courses that appear on an official high school transcript issued by a provincial ministry of education.
We do not accept progress reports or homeschool providers' documentation for program admission.
Please get in touch with the education ministry from your home province to discuss including your courses on an official transcript.
These transcripts will need to be reviewed by the Office of the Registrar.
International documents
You'll require an international document assessment if your transcripts and educational documents are from outside of Canada.
