School bus drop-off location and parking

Outside the Physical Activity Complex is the preferred school bus drop-off and pick-up location. Volunteers will be on hand to show participants the way to the Gordon Oakes Red Bear Student Centre.

Bus parking is available at Lot 20 (directly east of Merlis Belsher Place) along Preston Avenue for drivers planning to spend the day on campus.

Drivers/teachers must provide the bus license plate number when checking in at the event if planning to park at Lot 20.

Alternatively, Preston Crossing is a nearby area accessible for buses.

Vehicle parking passes and drop-off location

USask will provide free parking passes for Lot 4 (Education) for participants travelling in their personal vehicles.

Let our team know when you check in if you are parked in Lot 4 and we will provide you a parking pass to exit the lot at the end of the day.

If you are being dropped off, Elders Court is closest to the event, or you can be dropped off at the Physical Activity Complex.

Welcome

Be welcomed to the University of Saskatchewan (USask) by the Indigenous Student Experience Day planning team and Indigenous leaders from the university.

University information session

During this presentation, you will be able to learn about university and how you can get ready in high school to pursue post-secondary studies. You will hear about different programs offered at USask, what you will need to do to get ready to apply and many special opportunities in university programs designated for Indigenous students.

You'll also hear about student services who are here to support you to transition from high school to university, like the Indigenous Student Achievement Pathways (ISAP) program, and throughout your university studies, including the Gordon Oakes Red Bear Student Centre and many others.

Lunch

Lunch will be provided in the Gordon Oakes Red Bear Student Centre.

Information Fair

Throughout the afternoon, you'll have the opportunity to meet representatives from colleges/programs and student services across the university at their booths in our information fair. This is a great chance to meet current students, professors and university staff in-person and ask any questions you have.

Collect stamps and signatures from students and staff at information fair booths for Indigenous Student Experience Day BINGO and enter into a draw at the end of the day for some great prizes!

Cultural activity

Participate in a come-and-go cultural activity led by a member of USask's Indigenous community.

Campus tours

Register for a tour of the university when you sign up for Indigenous Student Experience Day and we will show you some of the amazing spaces around our campus that students love and where you will study or find services when you become a student here. We can't wait to show you around!

School counsellors, teachers, parents and other supporters are welcome and encouraged to join us at Indigenous Student Experience Day to learn about the university alongside students. This event is a great opportunity to get to know the USask community and bring any questions you have about how best to support students on their journey to post-secondary studies.
