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.
