Read the weekly SAIT Update email
Every Monday (or the first weekday after a long weekend), we send all credit and apprenticeship students a SAIT update email with everything you need to know about SAIT that week — events, volunteer opportunities, academic support services and more.
If you prefer to see your news online, you can go to our SAIT Update web page any time to see that week’s bulletin.

We have an Instagram account dedicated to current student updates and opportunities. Follow us @HereAtSAIT to get student tips and resources, see what’s happening across campus and enjoy some good memes.
Enable emergency SAIT alerts
SAITALERT is a free smartphone app for Apple and Android devices that provides easy access to emergency information, including emergency procedures, contacts and virtual safe walk.
It will also send you alerts should there be an emergency on campus — remember to enable notifications!
📳 Pro tip: If you're using an iPhone, double-check you haven't accidentally offloaded the app. You may need to redownload it to keep receiving notifications.
📳 Pro tip: To prevent app hibernation, redownload SAITALERT and follow the prompts to disable this feature within the app's settings.

Stay alert around construction
If you’ve been at our main campus, you’ve probably noticed we have some construction taking place between the CTrain station and Heritage Hall. That’s the site of our new Taylor Family Campus Centre, scheduled to open in late 2027.
🚧 Safety reminder
Please be patient, stay alert and stay safe around construction:
🛑 STOP: Pay attention. Avoid distractions, including your phone.
⚠️ WAIT: Follow directions from traffic flaggers for everyone’s safety.
✅ GO: Use only designated crossings and detours when clear.
Learn about the Taylor Family Campus Centre project
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.
