Admission Policy
AB, BC, NU, NWT, YT
The U of S waives provincial and diploma exam marks for admission and scholarships!
- We don’t want to penalize you if you have a bad test day.
- We don’t believe your future should ride on the success of one set of tests.
- We have confidence in our teachers and trust their ability to assess students.
Alberta, Northwest Territories and Nunavut Students
Diploma exam marks are no longer required! We will take the mark that works to your best advantage—your in-class mark or your diploma exam mark. It’s just that simple. So when you write your diploma exams, don’t get stressed! We’ll look at your entire academic career, not just those three intense hours. We’re the first university in Canada to do this—just another University of Saskatchewan advantage.
BC and Yukon Students
We will take the mark that works to your best advantage—your in-class mark or your provincial exam mark. However, since the English 12 provincial exam is required to graduate high school, we’ll only use your blended mark (the combination of your class and provincial exam marks). We also do not require the LPI, graduation portfolio or second-language requirement—just another University of Saskatchewan advantage.
