Policies and Handbooks

Academic Advising

It is recommended that all students at each year of their program plan their course curriculum for the upcoming year in consultation with an academic advisor, faculty supervisor or advisory committee. 

Undergraduate Students - Certificate in Sustainability

Current students should contact their academic advisor to determine how the Certificate in Sustainability fits with their current degree program. Fill out the Advising Record and return it to SENS.*

For academic advising specific to the Certificate in Sustainability, you can direct your questions to sustainability.certificate@usask.ca or colin.laroque@usask.ca.  

*Notifying the school of your intention to complete the certificate helps us to ensure the certificate will be awarded at the end of your studies. 

Graduate Students

Manage your program from beginning to convocation. Make sure you are doing everything you need to do to ensure you graduate within the timeline you are given.

Program Completion and Convocation

Undergraduate Students - Certificate in Sustainability

For students who are receiving the certificate in addition to an undergraduate degree, you need to complete the following steps in order:

  1. Apply to graduate for your primary degree
  2. Complete a second application to graduate for the Sustainability Certificate

The steps must be completed in this order.

Please note: If you are applying to complete your degree, but planning on returning to complete the certificate in a following semester, you should apply to register as a student before graduating (e.g., register for the following fall while still a student in the spring). This can be done shortly after applying to graduate (e.g., while you are still a student), but before you receive your degree (before convocation). This will help you to avoid a full registration process and fees that will be required if (re-)registration is done outside of this window. 

Graduate Students

Make sure you complete the steps required to convocate.
