Southern Alberta Institute of Technology

Begin Tower has private studios and two-bedroom, one-bathroom suites priced per bedroom and person. East Hall has one-bedroom and four-bedroom suites. The page lists kitchens or kitchen facilities within the room layouts; confirm the exact floor plan before choosing. Residence fees are separate from tuition, and government loans are not sent directly to Residence.

Academic-year residents must maintain full-time status, defined on the application page as nine or more course credits each semester. The signed agreement also controls eligibility and occupancy conditions. SAIT accepts applications year-round and sends offers as spaces become available, so applying does not guarantee a room. Meal plans are optional. Returning residents still apply, but the application fee is waived and the security deposit is held for the next year.

Cancellation can create a substantial charge. The 2026–27 academic-year agreement charges occupied days on a prorated basis plus 5% of total housing fees before August 1, 15% after August 1 but before September 1, or 25% after September 1. As checked September 12, the 25% band was the current academic-year band. Read the agreement you sign for the final obligation and use the payment date in your offer or current Housing Hub if applying after the published full-year due date.

Student Awards uses mySAIT. New students choose the entrance-award application, all students use the credit-award application, and apprentices use the apprentice application. Submit once per academic year; some awards need added documents, while others are assessed automatically from the application. Full-time award eligibility generally means at least nine credits, and SAIT says domestic and international students and attending apprentices may apply. Selection and payment are not guaranteed.

The Bissett Bursary is a narrower prospective-student route. It is for domestic applicants age 24 or under from Calgary or within one hour, with no prior postsecondary education and financial need. Eligible study includes certificates, diplomas and pre-employment programs; degrees and apprenticeships are excluded. The Fall 2026 deadline has passed. SAIT lists November 28, 2026 for Winter 2027 and February 15, 2027 for Spring 2027.

Career Advancement Services helps students, new graduates and alumni with employer connections, resumes, interviews, LinkedIn and job-search resources. My Career Hub provides job postings, events, appointments, experiential education and industry mentorship. These services support preparation; they do not guarantee employment. A program’s own page controls whether a practicum, co-op, capstone or other WIL element is required.
