Registration and Schedule
COVID-19 update
With the health and safety of our students and employees top of mind, SAIT is following the Government of Alberta’s guidance specific to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Please refer to the frequently asked questions at sait.ca/covid19 for the most up-to-date information about your studies, and for the latest details on SAIT's pandemic preparedness measures.
Registration
Most SAIT full-time programs have a cohort system where you'll be working toward a credential in an allotted amount of time with the same group of students. You will be registered in classes about six weeks before your program begins and your schedule — day, time and location of classes — will be available around the end of November (winter or spring term) or the middle of July (fall term).
If you're in one of these programs, register for your courses online through mySAIT.
- Academic Upgrading
- Bachelor of Applied Technology Petroleum Engineering
- Bachelor of Applied Business Administration
- Bachelor of Business Administration (electives only)
- Bachelor of Construction Project Management (electives only - students in year 1 and 4)
Confirmation of Enrolment
After you're registered, you'll be able to get confirmation of enrolment from the Office of the Registrar.
Checking your schedule
Your schedule for the fall term will be ready by mid-July and you can check it through mySAIT or through Ellucian GO. As there could be some changes, make sure to check your schedule again before your first day of classes.
If you see these messages on your schedule, don't worry — you've been registered in your classes and no action is required on your part.
Courses without assigned meeting times
- This means a room number is not assigned to the course as it is delivered through correspondence or fully/partially online through Brightspace (D2L).
Courses with a time conflict
- This usually means the course is held in more than one room at some point during the term. Refer to your Student Detail Schedule for additional information.
If your access is disabled, contact Office of the Registrar.
Adding and Dropping Classes
The timeline to add and/or drop courses is based on your program and the number of weeks you're registered in for a specific term. If your program term is less than 15-weeks long, or if you are on practicum, you will have a shorter time period to add/drop courses.
| Term Length | Add/Drop deadline |
|---|---|
| 13 or more weeks | Second Friday from program term start date |
| 8-12 weeks | First Friday from program term start date |
| 2-7 weeks | Two days from program term start date |
| Less than two weeks | There is no add/drop period |
To find the add/drop dates for the current academic year, see all Important Dates.
