Registration and Schedule

When to Register

Registration opens approximately eight weeks before each semester. Choose the tab for your upcoming term to find when registration begins for your program.

All students will receive an email from SAIT when registration opens.

Register before your tuition payment deadline and register early to secure a seat in your required courses. If you register for a course after the tuition payment deadline, your tuition will be due immediately.

If you're an accepted student

When registration opens, You’ll be eligible to choose your courses after satisfying the following requirements.

• You’ve been admitted to your program.
• You've paid your non-refundable tuition deposit.

Remember to choose your courses before your tuition deadline or your seat may be rescinded.

• Your seat may be offered to another student.

• Your non-refundable tuition deposit will not be returned – review refunds to learn more.

If you're a continuing or returning student

If you've taken a reduced course load you may need to work with your advisor to create a program plan that meets your needs or get assistance with course registration.

When you register

To register, you’ll choose a block of courses or individual courses as applicable to your program through mySAIT. Remember to register early before courses and blocks fill up.

• Speak with your program advisor to discuss your options.
• Course/block registrations will fluctuate significantly between registration and courses beginning – you may still get a seat if classes fill before you register.

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

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 time period to add/drop courses.

To find the add/drop dates for the current academic year, see important dates.
