Audit students

Returning students

If you have previously completed classes at the University of Saskatchewan, you can apply for re-admission to the same college you attended previously as a returning student. Your deadline to apply for admission will depend on whether you have completed classes at another post-secondary institution since leaving USask.

If you have completed classes at another post-secondary institution since leaving USask, you are accountable for disclosing your studies on the application for admission and supplying transcripts to be assessed to determine admissibility and potential transfer credit. To allow time for assessment, students who have completed classes at another institution are subject to the regular application and document deadlines for their program.

How to apply

To apply as a returning student, you will:

  • Create or log in to your USask admissions account 
  • Start an application
  • When asked to choose an application, select: 
    • an Undergraduate program
  • When asked which college/program are you applying for, select: 
    • Agriculture and Bioresources, Arts and Science, Education, Edwards School of Business, Engineering, Kinesiology
  • When asked which of the following best describes you select:
    • I am a previous USask student
  • Continue on to complete the application for admission. A non-refundable $120 CAD application fee is required to submit your application.
