Purchasing a course extension
Some of our online courses provide a one-time course extension purchase option, which gives you additional time to complete the course. If approved the extension period is half the original course duration.
To find out if your course is eligible, sign into your student account, and selected "My Enrolment History" to verify if your course offers an optional extension. If an extension is available, please contact the Continuing Education Advising team a minimum of seven days before the course’s original end date.
You will be required to pay a non-refundable course extension of $200. Payment by Visa or Mastercard is required at the time of the request.
Tax receipts
When you register and pay for courses and programs at SAIT, you will be issued a T2202 and T4A slip, which you can use on your tax return (if applicable).
The receipts for the previous tax year are released each year on the last day of February. You can access them from your mySAIT account.
Refunds
After you have completed your registration, you may transfer, drop or withdraw from a course to receive a refund by the set deadlines.
The following refund procedure applies to all students dropping from a program:
- If you cancel your registration before the refund deadline, you’ll receive a full refund, excluding the non-refundable tuition deposit.
- If you withdraw after the refund deadline but before the start of classes, you will not receive a refund unless extenuating circumstances are agreed on by the advising team.
- If you are expelled from SAIT for any reason, you won’t be eligible for a refund.

Oki, Âba wathtech, Danit'ada, Tawnshi, Hello.
SAIT is located on the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of Treaty 7 which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut’ina and the Îyârhe Nakoda of Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney.
We are situated in an area the Blackfoot tribes traditionally called Moh’kinsstis, where the Bow River meets the Elbow River. We now call it the city of Calgary, which is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta.
