USTEP (University of Saskatchewan Transition Entrance Program)
USTEP (University of Saskatchewan Transition Entrance Program)
What is USTEP?
What is USTEP?
USTEP provides a supportive learning environment for students whose high school grades do not represent their academic potential. Instead of upgrading, USTEP allows students the chance to take university courses in a supportive learning community environment. USTEP offers students a wide network of support including: upper-year peer mentors, dedicated academic advisors, and specialized academic coaching.
Eligibility
Eligibility
Students are automatically assessed for USTEP by admissions if their admission average falls below the threshold required for their first choice program. Alternatively, students can apply directly to USTEP if they believe they meet the criteria below. Regardless of application, to be eligible for USTEP students must:
Be aged 21 or younger
Have domestic student status
Have an admission average of 60.00-69.99%
Course Offerings
Course Offerings
USTEP students attend a weekly hour-long learning community (LC) hour. Attendance at this session is mandatory and required to complete the program. These sessions are facilitated by upper-year peer mentors and providing students with opportunities to make friends, study together, and to develop the academic and personal skills to achieve their goals.
Along with a mandatory LC hour, students take the same first-year courses as any Arts and Science student. They can register in a maximum of 24 credit units per year in a 2+2 model. Two courses are preselected to create a shared learning experience. These are picked by academic advisors to satisfy the College Requirement (which is a part of all Arts and Science degrees). Students then select up to two additional courses with the assistance of an academic advisor that reflect their personal learning goals and interests.
Completing USTEP
Completing USTEP
When students successfully complete the program, they are automatically transferred into regular standing in the College of Arts and Science. To complete USTEP students must:
Complete 18 credit units of study with a cumulative weighted average of 56% or higher
Attend all LC hours
Those who do not meet this requirement should reach out to a USTEP staff member to discuss their options.
