BEFORE YOU CHOOSE

Confirm the laundry charge before setting the final budget

SAIT's cost section gives two different laundry statements: an additional mandatory $188 per year in its preamble, and $250 annually included in tuition in the uniform instructions. The table below preserves the published tuition and fee total. Confirm the laundry treatment with the program before adding either amount.

Tuition and listed additional fees

Period Semesters Tuition Additional fees Total
Year 1 2 $25,350.00 $2,009.50 $27,359.50
Year 2 2 $24,336.00 $2,009.50 $26,345.50
Published program total $53,705.00

The additional-fee column is already included in each total. The internship fee is already included. The conflicting laundry statements remain unresolved, so neither $188 nor $250 is added by this planner. The optional study tour, approximately $3,500, is not part of the required base budget.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

Check the academic route

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.

  2. Mathematics

    At least 50% in Math 10C or Math 10-3, or accepted equivalents. Both subject groups and English proficiency apply; foreign education needs international document assessment.

Assessment results must be from within the year before your application. A transfer or deferral can require updated results when that period has passed.
