The Scoop on Applying to SIAST

Prospective SIAST students should be aware of the different application processes that exist for SIAST programs and the resulting deadlines. The procedure for applying is different between these 3 program groups:


1. First-Qualified, First Admitted - This procedure applies to most SIAST programs. You can submit anapplication at any time, and it is considered for the upcoming start date for the program. The earlier you provide the qualifications for admission to the next start date, the earlier you might begin your studies. More information about these programs can be found here.


2. Competetive Entry - The only program in this category is the Saskatchewan Collaborative Bachelor of Science in Nursing program, delivered in partnership with the University of Regina. The current application deadline is February 12 and applications are ranked according to specific program requirements. Check this link for details.

3. High Demand Programs - This procedure is for a small group of programs including Combined Laboratory and X-Ray Technology, Dental Hygiene, Medical Laboratory Technology, Medical Radiologic Technology, Power Engineering Technology and Practical Nursing. These programs have a specific application deadline (usually the end of February) and a more detailed application process which may include a Career Investigation. You should go to the specific program page (start here and choose your program) for information specific to your program of interest.
