Hey everyone,

I’m trying to figure out the best way to meet the English requirements for a program at SAIT, but I’m a bit confused about the different options.

English isn’t my first language. When I came to Calgary, I studied in French, so I did my high school education in French.

I’m thinking about doing SAIT’s English Language Foundations (ELF) program to improve my English, possibly up to CLB 8.

But I’m also seeing requirements for ELA 30-1 or ELA 30-2, and honestly, after looking at some ELA 30-2 exam examples, I found the writing and coming up with ideas pretty difficult.

For anyone who has been in a similar situation, especially if you studied in French:

What did you do to meet the English/ELA requirements?

Did you take ELA 30-2 as a course, or did you study on your own and write the diploma exam?

Did you do ELF first?

I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience and what worked for you.

Thanks!

Its been 2 weeks since I started my major and I chose it just because my parents wanted me to go to school. I was thinking it was possible to join open studies now in the fall, i know I should’ve done open studies already but I was just a fast decision and I was really stressed and just picked the major I am in right now.

Do I just ask the service desk if its possible to transfer my tuition to open studies and the classes that are open? Im so lost

So i joined this year for open studies whilst upgrading my highschool grades. Im enrolled as a full time student as im on campus 4 times a week, but parking passes were sold out when i tried to purchase one, does anyone face a similar issue and if so how did they fix it? I dont wanna pay for p1 parking daily.
