SAIT publishes a $20,634.50 international estimate, but its semester descriptions differ. The cost table shows one semester, the estimate preamble refers to two, and online completion takes at least four. Keep the published amount as a planning reference and ask SAIT for the charges that apply to your delivery mode and course load.

The additional-fee column is already included in each total. The source semester cell remains 1. It conflicts with the two-semester estimate preamble and mode-specific course schedule; no corrected semester count or complete online price is established here.

Choose the certificate specifically when checking delivery, intake and payment instructions. The Marketing BBA is a separate degree route, with different entry requirements and costs.

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.

Academic entry
The Canadian-education admission block requires English proficiency and states no further entry requirements. It does not list mathematics or other high-school subject minima.
-
Education outside Canada
English proficiency and an international document assessment remain required. The absence of extra Canadian subject requirements does not remove that 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.
