Help keep our community safe

If you've tested positive for COVID-19 or have symptoms unrelated to a pre-existing condition, isolate and don't attend campus. Learn more at sait.ca/covid19.

Do not come to campus if you:

  • have tested positive for COVID-19 or are being tested
  • have one or more core COVID-19 symptoms.

If you're unsure about whether to come to campus, stay home and consult Alberta Health Services.

Before coming to campus

Anyone coming to campus should monitor their health status for possible symptoms of COVID-19 every day to help protect others and prevent the spread.

If you have a pre-existing condition or require more support visiting campus, contact Accessibility Services (for students) or Employee Services (for employees) to find out what accommodations might be available to you.

While you're on campus

SAIT continues to promote healthy and safe learning, working, and living environment.

Mask wearing at SAIT

Wearing a mask in public can help prevent the spread of COVID-19 and other respiratory illnesses. Wearing a mask can help reduce your risk of infection and help protect people from being exposed to your germs. Please contact HSE.Services@sait.ca for more information.

Please be kind. SAIT community members are expected to respect the right of those choosing to wear a mask.

Masks are available at:

  • Campus Security, 24/7 at the Eugene Coste Building – Q100
  • Saitsa Resource Centre, Monday to Friday, 9 am to 4 pm at the Stan Grad Building — MC107

Rapid testing

SAIT is no longer providing COVID-19 rapid test kits for campus community members.  All Albertans can get free COVID-19 rapid testing kits for at-home use at participating pharmacies across the province. Find a pharmacy offering rapid test kits near you or call/visit your local pharmacy to inquire about picking up a test kit.

COVID-19 hygiene

In addition to wearing a mask and getting vaccinated, practicing good hygiene habits can protect you and those around you from spreading COVID-19 and other respiratory illnesses.

  • Wash or sanitize your hands often.
  • Cover your coughs and sneezes.
  • Avoid touching your face.

Please continue with proper community health and hygiene habits, including frequent handwashing and respiratory etiquette.

  • Disinfect work areas, tools and equipment before and after use.

What we're doing to keep you safe

  • Facilities Management is performing the following air filtration recommendations from the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE):
    • SAIT has  installed the highest Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) rated filters that each system can accommodate. As we upgrade a system’s ability to bring in more air and push that air through the system, we will also upgrade filtration.
    • Based on class schedules, we have programmed our air systems to increase the number of air changes before and after occupancy to flush the air from the buildings.
    • During occupancy, we will introduce as much outside air as possible.
    • Facilities Management will continue routine maintenance to ensure air handling units are running at optimal performance.
  • Health promotion and awareness efforts will continue..
  • Rapid antigen test kits and masks are available.

About SAIT

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.
