Welcome to the Saskatchewan Polytechnic community! We want you to get started and feel ready to embrace your academic journey with us.
We're excited to welcome you this Fall 2025! Stay tuned for more details on our orientation programming.
Student orientation
Join us for a series of orientation programming designed to help you learn about the many supports and services we have available to help you succeed in your studies and enhance your Sask Polytech experience.
Whether you prefer to explore at your own pace or dive right in, we’ve got you covered.
Self-guided orientation (2025-26 academic year)
Self-Guided Orientation is a go-at-your-own-pace online orientation accessible to all incoming students and available to revisit throughout the 2025-26 academic year.
Learn about the supports and services available to you as a student with this online orientation. It’s delivered using Brightspace—Sask Polytech’s online course system—where you’ll soon be logging into your courses.
You’ll be automatically enrolled in the self-guided orientation course in the coming weeks—stay tuned. Once it’s available, have your mySaskPolytech login ready. Learn more at mySaskPolytech Quick Reference Guide.
If you have any problems accessing this course or with self-registration, submit a sign-in troubleshooting ticket to the IT Service Desk.
Check out the orientation for a chance to win great prizes! See contest rules.
Virtual orientation sessions
You’re encouraged to register for virtual orientation sessions below to help ease you into the ins and outs of our campuses from the comfort of your own home. This Zoom Q&A series familiarizes you with the departments essential to your studies. Each session covers different departments with designated speakers from each. Ask them anything, or simply sit back and listen. You are encouraged to attend as many sessions as possible.
Campus tours
Campus tours at Sask Polytech are a great way to get a head start on your first semester! These guided tours help you get familiar with important areas on campus – like Student Services, libraries, and common spaces – as well as the classrooms and labs specific to your program.
No registration needed. Just show up at your campus's main entrance five minutes before the tour begins. We’ll take care of the rest!
SaskMilk Welcome Week
Join us for an activity-filled week as we gather at Sask Polytech. As you begin this adventure, you'll be welcomed with events to help you get connected, feel supported and foster a sense of belonging at Sask Polytech.
