Forms

Life is complicated, and sometimes, you may need to take a temporary break from your studies. Luckily, you won’t need to re-apply when you’re ready to begin classes again as a returning student at SAIT.

You’ll need to fill out a SAIT intent to return form, submit the form to the Office of the Registrar, and pay $125 to be re-enrolled into your classes. Make sure you submit your intent to return form no sooner than 90 days prior to the term starting.

Once the intent to return form is submitted, it will typically take up to four business days to process, at which time you will see fees added to your mySAIT account that must be paid within two business days.

If you fail to pay the fees, you will be automatically un-enrolled from SAIT.

You can change programs within SAIT by submitting a new application for your desired program. However, please note that this is contingent upon seat availability during the add/drop period, and any changes can only be accommodated after all new applicants have been offered admission.

SAIT offers a variety of programs, both for credit and non-credit, leading to credentials like certificates of achievement, certificates of completion, certificates, diplomas, applied degrees, and even baccalaureate degrees. The good news? Ordering your first official copy of any of these is completely free!

How do I request my credential at SAIT?

Certificate, pre-employment certificate, diploma, applied degree and baccalaureate degree programs (credit programs)

If you complete all the requirements of a credit program, you'll be invited to attend convocation, where you'll receive your official parchment (a fancy way of saying a printed certificate).

If you can't make the ceremony, we’ll mail your parchment to you. See our parchments page for further details.

Certificates of achievement, certificates of completion and microcredentials (non-credit programs)

Once you complete your non-credit program, your official certificate or microcredential badge will be emailed to you.

If you finished a non-credit program before July 2020, use the Credential Request form to order your official copy.

Digital credentials

SAIT uses a secure online system called MyCreds™️ to issue digital copies of your credentials.

MyCreds™️ is officially recognized by Canadian universities and colleges, allowing you to easily share your credentials with employers and other colleges, universities, and polytechnics.

Do I need a duplicate credential if my information changes?

Life happens! If you changed your name, lost or damaged your original credential, or completed a program but never received your credential, the Office of the Registrar can create a duplicate for you.

There's a fee involved, but it's free if you request it within two years of graduation. The process involves filling out the Credential Request form and providing any necessary documentation (like proof of your name change).

Expect to receive your duplicate credential within 8 weeks (longer for international deliveries).

If you disagree with your final grade in a particular SAIT course, talk to your instructor as soon as possible after the grades are posted. If the discussion doesn't resolve the issue, or you can't reach your instructor, contact your academic chair or program coordinator within 30 days of your course ending. If you’re not satisfied with the outcome, request a formal grade appeal.

For further details, see Grades and Academic Standing.

• you miss a required work term
• you’re requesting a make-up evaluation or to be excused from a gradable component of the program, excluding a final exam.

Those who miss final exams are typically not allowed to write a make-up exam.

All other exceptions are to be approved by the academic chair/coordinator.
