Review requirements
If your transcripts are in a language other than English, you must produce translated documents. If you require that your documents be translated into English, we recommend the Association of Translators and Interpreters of Saskatchewan (ATIS).
Admission offers are to a specific program at a specific campus but you may choose to apply to more than one program or campus. Note, once an offer of admission is accepted and a seat be offered to your alternate program or campus, changing your program or campus incurs fees.
Meet English language requirements
Sask Polytech offers the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) test at our Saskatoon and Regina locations. Visit the English Language Requirement for more information.
Sask Polytech also offers English language courses. Visit the Learn English page for more information.
