Activities

Across campus

We're hosting activities all across campus—from campus and residence tours to hands-on activities, presentations, student panels and info booths hosted by colleges, student services, student groups and more.

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 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.

The City of Saskatoon is working on construction related to Link rapid transit stations along Preston Avenue. Signs will be posted, and traffic will be detoured as required. As this work could lead to travel delays, Open House participants are encouraged to plan a different route or to leave extra time for travel on your way to the university.

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 on Thursday, October 2, 2025 in Saskatoon and Friday, October 3, 2025 in Prince Albert, as well as an online counsellor information session on Thursday, October 9.

Learn more on the Counsellors and agents' hub.
