Domestic applicants
To see your admission decision, log in the Admissions Status Portal. If you are on the waitlist, you must complete the Reply to Waitlist Form. You have the following options:
- Stay on the Waitlist. You will be contacted if a spot opens up. If no spots become available, your application will be closed, and you will need to reapply in the future.
- Withdraw Your Application. Your application will be cancelled. You can still apply for a different program, but you will not be considered for your current choice.
- Change Your Program or Start Term. You can transfer to any open program or term. This is free but cancels your current application.
- There's no guarantee of a spot, so you might end up on another waitlist.
- If you don't request a transfer by the program start date of your waitlisted term, your application will be cancelled.
- Domestic applicants can transfer using the Domestic Waitlist Transfer Request form.
International Waitlisted Applicants
International applicants on a waitlist can choose to remain on the waitlist or request a transfer to another intake or program.
To request a waitlist transfer, please complete the International Waitlist Transfer Form.
Consider the following points when submitting your request:
- When transferring to a different program, a new evaluation will be completed to confirm if the admission requirements are met.
- Transfers can only be made to open intakes and open programs (visit the program page for availability).
- Requests to transfer to programs that have reached their capacity will not proceed. Our team will contact you if all your choices have reached their capacity and will provide recommendations.
- If the program reaches its capacity at the time your transfer is being processed, you may be placed on a waitlist. Additional information will be provided.
- The deadline to submit a waitlist transfer is the day prior to the start of the intake you are currently waitlisted for.
Submit a new application
This will result in you remaining on the waitlist for your current choice and will consider you for the second program you apply for.
You can apply for any program open for applications, regardless of term or academic year.
If you are offered a spot in your second choice, you will remain on the waitlist for the first choice.
This does not move you to the top of the list we strongly suggest you apply early to avoid being placed on another waitlist.
This requires a new application and payment of the appropriate application fee.
Cancel your application
This will remove you from the waitlist, and you will not be considered for any other programs you have not already applied for.
This does not affect any current or future applications you submit.
You can cancel your application through your domestic admissions portal or the Virtual Admissions System (VAS.)
Review our knowledge base article to learn more about each option.
Application fees
Applying for our programs costs $120 for domestic students (Canadian citizens, permanent residents, or refugees) and $175 for international students.
This is the cost for us to process an application and does not guarantee a spot in one of our programs.
This non-refundable fee will not be returned if you are placed on a waitlist or your application is declined.

Oki, Âba wathtech, Danit'ada, Tawnshi, Hello.
SAIT is located on the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of Treaty 7 which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut’ina and the Îyârhe Nakoda of Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney.
We are situated in an area the Blackfoot tribes traditionally called Moh’kinsstis, where the Bow River meets the Elbow River. We now call it the city of Calgary, which is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta.
