Activities
When you register for Open House, you can choose from many presentations and demonstrations taking place across the university in up to five timeslots.
Since sessions take place in real USask classrooms and capacity is limited, these can fill quickly. Be sure to register as early as possible to have the best chance to register in sessions you want.
Webinars
If you can't make it to Open House to learn about USask in-person, check out our webinars featuring some of our most popular topics for future students!
TIP: Please register separately for each webinar you'd like to attend.
