Visiting Student Status
It is expected that a student registered in the Edwards School of Business will take the classes prescribed for the program from the University of Saskatchewan. Prior approval for exception to these requirements and expectations must be received from the ESB Committee on Studies and Admissions.
A student may alternatively receive approval to take up to 50% of the program at another university while registered in the Edwards School of Business.
Procedure for Requesting Permission to Take a Course at Another Institution
Prior to registering for a course at another institution, students must receive permission for the Edwards School of Business to take a course as a visiting student. Students must submit a written appeal to the ESB Committee on Studies and Admissions asking for special permission. The appeal letter can be dropped off at the ESB Undergraduate Programs Office - Room 185.
The written appeal should include:
- The student’s name, student number (8 digits), and current mailing address
- The name of the course and the institution that the student wants to take the course through
- The course for which it is to be substituted for in the B.Comm. degree program
- The time frame in which the student intends to complete the course(s)
- The reason why the student wants to take the course(s) from another institution
The request will be evaluated by the Committee and a written response will be sent by mail to the address on file. Once the student has completed the class at the specified institution, they must ensure that an official transcript is sent to the Edwards School of Business for the transfer credit to take effect.
U of S Transfer Credit from institutions within Saskatchewan - search by receiving institution (U of S) or by sending institution (where you want to be a visiting student).
U of S Transfer Credit from institutions outside Saskatchewan - list of previously granted transfer credit from select post-secondary institutions in British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba and Ontario.
Note: This is not a comprehensive list of transfer credit. The Edwards School of Business will evaluate course outlines from external institutions that have not been previously evaluated if they are submitted with the visiting student request letter.
