SPRING AND SUMMER CLASSES
Many new students elect to begin their studies early by choosing to take classes during the spring or summer.
Spring and summer students enjoy flexible class options lasting a couple of weeks to a couple months, and
choose to start early for a number of reasons, including:
■■ getting a head start on your degree program,
■■ focusing on a tough class you want to get out of the way, or
■■ completing a prerequisite class you need to move forward in your degree.
Interested? Choose the 2020 Spring Term (May–June) or 2020 Summer Term (July–August) when applying for
admission. To learn more visit summer.usask.ca or contact our friendly staff at admissions@usask.ca.admissions.usask.ca
