Competitive Admissions
Competitive Admissions
A small number of Sask Polytech programs use a competitive process. All applicants must meet program requirements to be considered.
In order that a program be considered for the Competitive Admission Process, the following criteria must exist:
program success reliant upon higher entering average (high school or post-secondary GPA)
similar/like programs at colleague institutions also incorporate a competitive admissions process
for active programs: the number of qualified applications must be at least 2.5 times the seat capacity, at each Saskatchewan Polytechnic campus location where it is offered, for two consecutive years
must be for a future admissions cycle
example: proposal received Fall 2021 where required criteria has been satisfied for 2019/20 and 2020/21 academic years
Effective implementation date would be for the 2023/24 academic year
In competitive programs, higher admission requirements and/or additional selection criteria may be required. For competitive programs that do not require an overall average in a grade level, CAEC or GED® 12 is accepted in lieu of the grade level standing required by the program.
Admission requirements set the minimum academic standard required for success in a program. The selection criteria for competitive programs are broader than academic requirements. Examples of potential selection criteria include interviews, career explorations and work or volunteer experience.
First Qualified/First Admitted (FQFA) Admissions
First Qualified/First Admitted (FQFA) Admissions
The First Qualified/First Admitted (FQFA) process is used for most Sask Polytech programs.
Admission is offered based on the date you become fully qualified—all your documents and requirements must be complete.
Seats are filled in order of qualification date until the program and waitlist are full.
Programs may close to new applications at any time once filled; check the status before applying.
If you don’t receive an offer for the current academic year and reapply during the special window (September 1–15) to be considered for the next academic year, you may retain your original qualification date and stay ahead in the queue (first-choice priority).
Winter/Spring intakes typically remain open longer. Unplaced Fall applicants may also have opportunities to move to Winter.
