At SAIT Residence, we believe in student success and our residence community is built on relationships, education and training.
We work closely with Natoysopoyiis to build on the success of our Indigenous residences.
SAIT Residence
Our residence suites are located in the northeast corner of the main campus with two modern high rises boasting four different floor plans — one-bedroom apartments, four-bedroom shared suites, two-bedroom shared suites and studio suites.
Our suites come fully furnished with utilities and self-contained with individual bedrooms, shared kitchens and bathrooms, study areas and common living spaces.

The Indigenous Students' Alliance and Natoysopoyiis will help create a welcoming environment, encouraging you to become proactive in representing yourself through student-based initiatives and allowing you to participate in developing and implementing services and events that will contribute to your academic success.
Students looking to get involved in residence are encouraged to attend events and join our Residence Council.
Smudging in Residence
You are not allowed to smudge in residence. However, you can smudge at Natoysopoyiis, which usually takes place in the mornings.
Elders
Elders are available to provide cultural teachings and ceremonies in Natoysopoyiis.
Funding options
Working in partnership with residence, Natoysopoyiis is happy to offer the Indigenous Housing Bursary. SAIT students living in SAIT Residence can apply for the bursary and receive $1400 per semester off their residence fees. For more information about the bursary, please contact natoysopoyiis@sait.ca.
There are many scholarships available for First Nations, Métis or Inuit students, and Natoysopoyiis offers workshops on how to apply as well as finding scholarships that fit your program.
Study spaces
In addition to having communal spaces within SAIT Residence and the quiet of your own room on campus, there are many places to study, including the Reg Erhardt Library and Natoysopoyiis, which also offers computers for student use.

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.
