❗ mySAIT has moved to ServiceNow
It's here — one website with everything you need as a SAIT student! mySAIT is now on SAIT’s ServiceNow platform. The webpages look similar, so your experience should be smoother, but without a big learning curve.
To get to the updated mySAIT, go to https://mysait.ca (which will redirect you) or https://sait.service-now.com. You'll need to log in, but single sign-on is enabled, so just one time will do it. We recommend updating any URLs you have bookmarked or saved to https://sait.service-now.com.
To access mySAIT — including myStudent and myApplication — simply select the mySAIT drop-down menu on the top left-hand side. All functionality thereafter will be the same as on the previous mySAIT platform.
For easy access, your homepage now includes:
- a link to the Office of the Registrar, who can help you with any questions you have about registering for classes, paying tuition and understanding your grades
- a Knowledge Base button that will bring you to our online guides and resources to help you with general information and how-tos
- a "Report and Issue" button that will connect you directly with the ITS Service Desk for support with hardware, software, email and more.

🗻 Last chance to Pick your Peak — and enter for a chance to win
If you have classes in the Senator Burns building, you may have noticed that some of our elevators are looking especially nice and new. SAIT is modernizing the Senator Burns' elevators on a staggered schedule, so they can run smoothly and quickly as they carry you to your destination.
If you are able, skip the wait and help alleviate demand by participating in SAIT’s Pick your Peak stair challenge. Check out the high-altitude destinations at each floor of Senator Burns building and grab a selfie with the poster on the stairwell doors. You can even with a Fitbit Versa 4!
How to win:
- take a photo with one of the Pick Your Peak posters found in Senator Burns building stairwells
- post your photo to your Instagram grid, using #HereAtSAIT and tagging @HereAtSAIT
Each post counts as a new entry. We'll be holding a prize draw on Wednesday, Nov. 27 and notifying the winner shortly after. Check out the contest rules and regulations.
💡 We’re actively working to improve SAIT’s elevator infrastructure through the Elevator and Escalator Modernization project.

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.
