Medical Radiologic TechnologySAIT
Medical Radiologic Technology takes two and a half years, although its cost table has rows labelled Year 1, Year 2 and Year 3. Keep that distinction when planning living costs and the program's required clinical placements.

Use the program duration when planning living costs
Three named cost rows do not mean three complete calendar years. The program combines different semester patterns and clinical study, with possible relocation. Check the academic subjects, entrance assessment and physical readiness requirements before choosing your own study budget.
Plan the published study costs
International estimates for entry in 2026/27. Your letter of admission may show a higher maximum tuition guarantee.
Tuition and listed additional fees
| Period | Semesters | Tuition | Additional fees | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Year 1 | 2.5* | $27,258.00 | $2,015.00 | $29,273.00 |
| Year 2 | 3 | $23,541.00 | $2,445.75 | $25,986.75 |
| Year 3 | 1 | $7,434.00 | $882.25** | $8,316.25 |
| Published program total | $63,576.00 | |||
The additional-fee column is already included in each total. The 2.5* label means mixed full-time and part-time study; part-time semesters have no UPass. The ** note bases the final additional-fee amount on six months of health and dental benefits. These rows sit in SAIT's international section, although one introductory sentence there says domestic students.

Read the application payment guide ↗Check the four subject groups and assessment
SAIT assesses the documents and course equivalents for education completed outside Canada. Demonstrating English proficiency does not by itself establish that your academic subjects meet the program requirements.

Entrance testing and documents
The program requires at least 50% in the School’s entrance-testing process. Its PSEA policy lists Medical Radiologic Technology. For Fall 2027, apply and receive academic confirmation before booking; the deadline is still to be announced. Education completed abroad requires international document assessment.
English proficiency is a separate requirement
Assessment results must be from within the year before your application. A transfer or deferral can require updated results when that period has passed.
