Greetings from our team at the the University of Saskatchewan (USask)!
We'd like to share the exciting news that our online U-Start pre-orientation sessions are open for registration for all new admitted undergraduate students in summer/fall 2021. At U-Start, students will connect with their colleges, learn how to register for classes and how to access resources for a smooth transition to university. In this issue:
As always, please let us know what you need in your role to support prospective students as they consider their futures and post-secondary education opportunities at USask. From all of us here at USask, thank you for all you do. USask president's update on fall planningIn a recent release on May 5, USask President Peter Stoicheff announced that: "While we are preparing to have many programs, classes and labs return to in-person delivery in September, and much more than we had in this past term, the Fall Term should be considered “transitional” as we will continue to offer some classes remotely. We will likely not complete our full transition out of pandemic operations until at least January 2022, at the beginning of Winter Term." Read the full statement. U-Start registration is open!We're excited to meet our new admitted undergraduate students at U-Start events in May and June. By attending, students admitted in summer/fall 2021 will get ready for their next important post-secondary milestone: class registration! Students can sign up for colleges sessions and student services sessions. By participating, they will learn:

Requirements and deadlines How to apply Arts and Science Transition ProgramDo you have a student who is thinking of applying to the College of Arts and Science, but are not certain if their marks meet the entrance requirements? Would they benefit from comprehensive support during their first year, and a tight-knit community of other students to study with? The Arts and Science Transition Program may be a great fit! Students may submit an Application for Admission and select “Arts and Science Transition” as their first-choice program when applying for admission. Visit the Arts and Science Transition Program webpage for more information! Summer, fall and winter registrationStarting USask in the summer termStarting classes in the summer term is a great way for students to get ahead in their degree program, lighten their course load for the upcoming fall and winter terms or complete a prerequisite needed for a future class. In line with federal and provincial requirements regarding COVID-19 prevention, summer classes will be offered primarily remotely (e.g. online) with limited in-person instruction where circumstances permit. No matter if classes are in-person or remote, students will receive a rich and rigorous education—with access to study help, health and wellness resources, events and workshops and much more. These summer class options are particularly popular with first-year students:

Learn about summer classes Time to get ready to register for fall/winter classesIt's time for new USask students to start planning what classes they are going to register in for the 2021 fall and 2021 winter terms. Students are encouraged to save their draft class schedules in PAWS using the Plan Ahead tool, which will make registering for classes easier. Class registration information will be emailed to students and is available on our classes and registration page. Students who sign up to be part of a Learning Community (LC) or are starting classes in the College of Engineering will receive additional class registration instructions since the class registration process is slightly different for these groups. Important class registration dates: April 1 - Sign-up opens for Indigenous Student Achievement Pathways First-Year LCs in the College of Arts and Science. May 3 – June 9 - Sign-up period open for:

Class registration information Are your students planning to take a math course in their first year at USask? Whether new USask students are looking to complete their quantitative requirement for a Bachelor of Arts degree, thinking about becoming a teacher or planning to major in mathematical physics, most new students take an introductory math or stats course in their first year. But how do students choose which one to take? The Department of Mathematics and Statistics has developed a new web page to help students figure out which introductory math or stats course is right for them. Please feel free to share this page with your grade twelve students. Also, don’t forget that the Math Readiness Assessment is available to students who need to take a calculus course for their program, and want to be prepared for the course they choose to register in. Next year's Grade 12 students can get a head start with Edwards' COMM 101 Early StartStudents entering Grade 12 in 2021 have the opportunity to get a head start on their degree by taking COMM 101, an online business course offered by Edwards School of Business. With COMM 101 Early Start, students can:
Encourage students to apply on Edwards' COMM 101 Online page by June 30, 2021 to start in September 2021. Career planning should start sooner than you think Staff at Career Services (formerly Student Employment and Career Centre) know that exploring and preparing for a career can be exciting but may leave students feeling overwhelmed and confused. The good news is, it’s never too early to start, and Career Services can help! Once a student has been admitted to USask, they can book an appointment with a career educator, attend employer events, apply for jobs posted in the Career Services job portal and access online resources. Learn more at the Career Services web page for students and read the recently published article.
