How to apply for credit

To have your military experience or credit evaluated, you must first apply and be accepted into a SAIT program.

Once accepted, contact transfer.options@sait.ca to determine if your program of study is eligible and determine the next steps.

Veterans, if eligible, can access education funding through the Education and Training Benefit offered by Veterans Affairs Canada. Regular Forces or Reservists, if eligible, can access education funding through the Education Reimbursement Program or the Paid Education Program.

SAIT recognizes the tremendous value that reservists who are also students or staff bring to our campuses. We have processes to accommodate short-term or long-term leave of absence from study or work to complete CAF-related training. We can also arrange the rescheduling of tests and assignments or the deferment of a semester or program as required.

These accommodations are subject to the terms, conditions and approvals described in in the following policies and procedures:
