International Education Guide to Completing the International Student Application Form
Revised February 2022
The purpose of this guide is to provide a step-by-step walk through of how to complete the online application form for international students. This guide uses screen shots of the actual application form with notations to complete the form accurately and completely. This guide also includes additional suggestions and recommendations.
Go to the online application form.
Each applicant must have a unique Login ID.
To create a new application, click on user account creation. Once you have created an account, you can log in under that account again to submit another application or edit your information. If you have applied previously and can't remember your login ID, just start over by creating a new user account.
Agents: If you use the same ID for different students, you won't be able to re-apply and alter applications using that ID.
Do not use all caps. Using all caps delays the processing of the application as they will need to be re-entered.
Be prepared to make payment when you have completed the application form. The form
will not be considered complete until payment has been made.
Select the appropriate application from the Application Type drop down menu.
To apply as an International Student to:
- a certificate or diploma, select application type International Admission.
- a degree level program or Post-Graduate Certificate program, select application type International Admission Degree.

Programs currently available will be listed in the drop-down menu. If the program
is not offered as a selection, this means that:
- The program is not available to international students or;
- The program is filled to capacity and applications are not currently being accepted for that program.
The availability of programs will vary throughout the year as we admit students and students withdraw (lack of funds, denial of visa, etc.)
If you are offered a seat, your application is closed. Should you want to switch programs after an offer has been made, you can submit (and pay for) another application.
If you are applying to the Business diploma program at our Moose Jaw campus, indicate which specialty you want and whether or not you want co-op (if available). This information will be reflected in the acceptance letter.

Click Continue.
If you have previous post-secondary education, include this information when applying.
Our assessors look to these transcripts if an application is lacking at the high school
level. (For example, you don't have a math in grade 12 but do in post-secondary).
In addition, if you plan to apply for transfer credit, Registration Services will only consider education declared at the point of application for transfer credit. If you present these documents later, they will not be considered.
Students applying for a post-grad certificate or degree must provide information on your degree here.
Include these transcripts with the other documents.
Click Continue.
A green check mark will be displayed beside each section you have completed. From

After paying your application fee you'll receive a confirmation and electronic receipt.
