The Office Administration (OA) program has completed a major program revision this academic year. At Saskatchewan Polytechnic, programs go through a major program review every five years. Many of our current courses will remain the same but have been refreshed.
Effective July 1, 2022, these are the changes to the overall program:
- Change to pre-requisites:
- OPRO 133 will require COMP 115
- Students who are following a part-time schedule can complete their certificate using the current courses. However, they will need to apply to graduate by June 30, 2023 or they will have to complete OPRO 105 and COMP 115.
