🧠 Taking care of your mental health
Stress, anxiety and depression can affect your learning by sapping your energy, restricting how new information is stored and retrieved, and making school feel overwhelming. Good mental health makes it easier to pay attention, get along with peers, recover from setbacks, and achieve academic success. Here's a selection of books to give you tips on self-care and strategies to prioritize your mental health.

If your group is larger than 4, please book a group study room. If your group is larger than 8, please find alternative spaces around campus to study together. Thank you!
📢 Self-checkout kiosk is getting an upgrade
Our Meescan self-checkout kiosk is being sent away for an upgrade, but don’t worry – you can still use the Meescan App on your phone to check books onto your account.

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.
