Indigenous Students’ Resources
Indigenous Students' Centres
Saskatchewan Polytech has an Indigenous Students' Centre in each of our campus cities. These centres provide support to Indigenous students and helps to ensure that their experience is the best it possibly can be.
Each centre hosts a variety of cultural activities and events, provides a quiet space to study and a number of services including:
- Space to study and socialize
- Computers and kitchens to use
- Cultural, educational and recreational workshops and activities
- Smudging ceremonies
- Soup and bannock lunches
Services that support
The centres provide a safe space for students to connect with Elders, Knowledge Keepers or cultural advisors who provide support on both school and personal matters, helping students cultivate success in their lives.
Centres are open from Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Indigenous Student Advisors
Saskatchewan Polytechnic helps support Indigenous student success through dedicated student advisors. Indigenous student advisors create student success by providing:
- A friendly face, helpful connections to services and support
- Orientation to Saskatchewan Polytechnic and surrounding community
- Referrals for tutorial support
- Funding, housing, budgeting and employment information
- Connections to outside resources and networks
- Assistance organizing study groups and informational, social and cultural events
