How to register for courses

Registration process

The registration process varies depending on your program.

After you register

After you have completed your class registration you can pay your tuition in full and download any letters of proof you may need. 

Making sense of your schedule

Your schedule for each semester, including class dates and times, will be available through mySAIT after you register.

Course dates and times are subject to change. Recheck your schedule before your first day of classes.

Viewing your schedule

You can view your schedule by logging in to mySAIT.

Your schedule will appear in a grid format, showing your classes for each day of the week. Select the schedule details tab to see each class's exact date and time.

You can also view your schedule for an individual week by selecting your Student Profile on the myStudent page and choosing "Week at a Glance" from the left-hand side of the page. You can also jump to the next week or enter a specific date to see your future schedule. Check your schedule regularly to avoid missing any classes.

1

Go to myStudent

In the mySAIT tab, select myStudent from the dropdown list.

2

Select Search and Register for Classes

Then select Register for Courses.

3

Select the term

Choose the term for the schedule you wish to view and continue.

Overlapping courses

This happens when multiple courses occur at the same time during different weeks. Reviewing the schedule details tab, you can clarify the exact date and time for each class in a particular course.

Adding and dropping courses

The timeline to add and/or drop courses is based on your program and the number of weeks you're registered for a specific term. If your program term is less than 15 weeks or if you’re on practicum, you’ll have a shorter period to add/drop courses.

Dropping individual courses during add/drop will result in a different refund than cancelling your entire program.

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.
