SIAST - Application Deadlines

SIAST offers more than 150 post-secondary programs and provides training to apprentices in almost 30 trades. The application process varies. We have three types of admission processes at SIAST.

• Competitive - The Saskatchewan Collaborative Bachelor of Science in Nursing program, delivered in partnership with the University of Regina, uses a competitive admission process. Applications are ranked according to specific program requirements. Refer to the program website for details.

• First Qualified/First Admitted (FQFA) - The First Qualified/First Admitted (FQFA) process is used for the majority of SIAST programs.You can submit your application at any time, and it is considered for the upcoming start date for the program. When we determine you meet the program's admission requirements, you will be offered admission. The earlier you provide the qualifications for admission to the next start date, the earlier you might begin your studies.

• High-Demand - A small number of SIAST programs are designated as high-demand. The following programs are currently designated. For more information on admission requirements for high-demand programs, refer to the program's official web page.

Combined Laboratory and X-Ray Technology
