Schedule
Planning for Open House 2026 is underway! You'll be able to customize your experience around your interests and choose from dozens of activities offered across our entire campus.
Lunch and food locations
Schedule yourself a lunch break and check out one or more outstanding eateries around campus. If you prefer to bring a lunch, you can find microwaves and seating in Place Riel.
Locations operated by Culinary Services on campus are cashless. Accepted payment methods include debit, credit, Apple Pay and Android Pay.
Parking and transportation
When possible, we encourage participants to carpool, get dropped off, or take public transit to campus during this busy time of year.
If you are planning to drive to campus and park for the day, visitor and daily parking at metered spaces using the Pay By Phone app or pay stations, or at public parking lots across campus is available. Parking fees are charged by the hour. Stadium Parkade on College Drive, Lot 4 near the Education Building and Lot 5 (Agriculture Parkade) offer a set daily maximum rate.
Convenient drop-off and pick-up locations for participants include the Administration Place loop and Voyageur Court in front of the Memorial Union Building.
Road closures near the Saskatoon campus, including parts of College Drive
The City of Saskatoon is working on a major construction project along College Drive. Travellers to the Saskatoon campus are encouraged to plan their travel route to avoid road closures and to leave extra time for travel on your way to the university.
For the latest timelines and road closure information, visit the City of Saskatoon’s construction updates website and visit saskatoontransit.ca for changes to transit routes in the area.
Video, photos and social media
You may see our student ambassadors or staff capturing the fun in photos or video during this public event to share on our social media channels like @usask.future.students, or to use in promotional materials.
If you'd like to share your experience and potentially be featured on our channels, tag us and/or use #usaskopenhouse!
Parents, guardians, counsellors and teachers
As students consider their options for post-secondary education, you will also be considering how best to support them. Parents, guardians, counsellors and teachers are welcome to attend Open House alongside future USask students you plan to bring. Please register for the event using either the parent/guardian or counsellor/teacher ticket type.
Are you an educator, school counsellor, post-secondary coordinator, academic advisor or other professional interested in learning how you can support prospective students to pursue university?
This fall, USask will host Counsellor Days in-person in Saskatoon and Prince Albert, as well as online, in October!
Watch for more information on the Counsellors and agents' hub and subscribe to the counsellor newsletter to be notified when registration opens.
