If you don't meet the requirements for our certificate, diploma, applied degree, and bachelor's degree programs, our Academic Upgrading program can help get you there.
Complete a variety of our high school equivalency courses depending on your academic goals and journey. We want you to feel comfortable here at SAIT and develop successful strategies for ongoing learning. Many adult learners use the Academic Upgrading program to upgrade high school courses.
All courses are Alberta high school equivalency courses (not Alberta Education credit courses) and are accepted by other Alberta post-secondary educational institutions for admission.
Check the current Alberta Transfer Guide published by The Alberta Council on Admissions and Transfer for a listing of all formalized transfer agreements among Alberta post-secondary institutions.
Please note that you cannot use the Academic Upgrading program to earn your high school diploma.
