If you graduated from the Sask Polytech Continuing Care Assistant (CCA) program after 2000, and are interested in pursuing a diploma in Practical Nursing, there may be options for you to reduce your study time.
Starting in Fall 2025, students will no longer receive credit for SOCI 160.
Effective for intake 2025 and onward:
- Course replacement: SOCI 171 will replace SOCI 160 in Semester 3 of the program. These courses are not eligible for transfer credit for one another.
- Course removal and replacement: SOCI 201 will be removed from the program and will be replaced with a new sociology course that is currently in development.
For students enrolled in the 2024-25 academic year:
- If you are a student who is starting the program in the 2024-25 academic year, you may continue to complete the SOCI 160 and SOCI 201 courses as planned.
Please contact the Practical Nursing program area at askaquestion@saskpolytech.ca to discuss your options.
