Vaccine requirement
As of Jan. 1, 2022, all students must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 to access SAIT campuses or participate in SAIT-sanctioned activities.

Student support:
- If you are unvaccinated and have on-campus classes scheduled, please call our Student Support line at 1-800-406-4726 to connect with an advisor.
- Is your vaccine regime still in progress? Contact vaccine.verification@sait.ca.

Multi-Factor Authentication rollout starts January 2022
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) supports cybersecurity at SAIT by requiring users to choose a secondary verification method to access applications through your SAIT email account — for example, confirmation through a mobile device or by entering a code. MFA is rolling out to students and apprentices throughout the Winter 2022 term and will affect your access to Microsoft 365 – SAIT email, Teams, Office and more.
💻 Learn more about MFA and what you can do to prepare.
