SIAST - Admission Changes

SIAST now has three forms of admission:

Regular Admissions - applications accepted on an ongoing basis and one a first-qualified, first admitted basis. Qualified applicants not successful with securing a seat must re-apply. Applicants can maintain their FQFA status by reapplying during a reapplication window (after the program start date i.e. October 1-31); includes another application fee.

High Demand - more competitive. Two phases for acceptance: phase 1 is academic and phase 2 is selective criteria set by the program. Intake for the fall of 2007 will remain FQFA but applicants not successful in the fall of 2007 will be carried forward to new process for the fall of 2008. New process effective July 1, 2008 intakes. Out-of-province applications will not be accepts. Special Admission (accuplacer and postsecondary) will not apply. Equity seats will remain. Applicant pool dissolved after last intake begins. Applicants must apply every year.

Competitive - applies to Nursing Education Program of Saskatchewan only.
