The Saskatchewan Collaborative Bachelor of Science in Nursing program, delivered in partnership with the University of Regina, uses a competitive admission process. Applications are ranked according to specific program requirements. Refer to the program Web page for details.

The First Qualified/First Admitted (FQFA) process is used for the majority of SIAST programs.

You can submit your application at any time, and it is considered for the upcoming start date for the program. When we determine you meet the program's admission requirements, you will be offered admission. The earlier you provide the qualifications for admission to the next start date, the earlier you might begin your studies.

Applicants who fully qualify, but for whom a seat is not available on the upcoming start date, may defer to a subsequent start date within the academic year.

Applicants who accept the offer of a seat in a program, and later reconsider, may defer to a subsequent start date within the academic year.

Sponsored programs or programs targeted to specific groups do not accept applications year round or maintain a waitlist.

Current high-school students who are enrolled in the grade level that will qualify them for admission to the program of their choice may apply on or after September 1 each year.

SIAST accepts interim statements of marks and confirmations of registration as conditional qualifications for programs. High-school students or persons taking Basic Education upgrading should apply as soon as they are enrolled in the courses that qualify them for the program.

Reapplication opportunities exist for those who previously applied and were not successful in obtaining a seat in a program, and for those who are returning to complete their original program of study after a voluntary or required absence.

A small number of SIAST programs are designated as high-demand. Generally, high-demand programs consistently have 2.5 times more applicants than spaces available. A review is conducted each fall to determine which programs will be designated high-demand for the following academic year.

High-demand programs have admission requirements plus additional selection criteria. Admission requirements set the minimum academic standard required for success in a program. The selection criteria for high-demand programs are broader than academic requirements. Examples of potential selection criteria include interviews, career explorations and work or volunteer experience.

The following programs are currently designated as high demand:

• Applied Photography (program suspended April 2010)
• Combined Laboratory and X-Ray Technology
• Dental Hygiene
• Medical Laboratory Assistant (effective for 2013 intake)
• Medical Laboratory Technology
• Medical Radiologic Technology
• Power Engineering Technology
• Practical Nursing

Applicants to high-demand programs may only apply during the designated application period.

International applicants are considered for admission to some high-demand programs. Refer to each program's official web page for the current status of international applications.

For more information on admission requirements for high-demand programs, refer to the program's official web page.
