Transfer Articulation for SIAST Computer Systems Technology Program

Students completing the Saskatchewan Institute of Applied Science & Technology (SIAST) Computer Systems Technology diploma can apply to enter the College of Arts & Science for further study in Computer Science.  Admission must be obtained through the College of Arts & Science.

The information on these pages is provided for students who have obtained the CST diploma.  Students who are considering this program should speak with an advisor.

Under this agreement, students may obtain a B.Sc. 4 year, Honours or Honours (SE) degree, in just over 2 years of study.  We call the arrangement "Two+Two," meaning "Two courses before two full years of study."

Completion of the SIAST Computer Technology Program transfers 54cu to the College of Arts & Science as the following courses:

  • 24cu: CMPT 111.3, 115.3, 214.3, 270.3, 350.3, 355.3, 3XX.3 (software engineering area), 3YY.3 (computer networks area)
  • 3cu: CMPT 100.3 (not part of the CMPT major)
  • 3cu: COMM 104.3 (Statistics)
  • 24cu: unspecified Arts and Science, 15cu at junior level, 9 at senior level

A general suggested schedule for SIAST students to complete the BSc Four Year program:

Summer before Year 1

Term 2, July and August
CMPT 215.3
CMPT 280.3

Year 1:

Term 1 Term 2
CMPT 260.3 CMPT 300-level (3cu)
MATH 110.3 MATH 264.3
CMPT 300-level (3cu) CMPT 300-level (3cu)

Notes:

  • The software engineering honours degree requires another 3cu of CMPT.
  • The regular honours degree requires another 3cu of CMPT and 3cu of Mathematics.
  • In all programs covered under this agreeement, the student must have at least 42cu of senior (200-level or higher) courses from the University of Saskatchewan.  (This is the Residency Requirement)
  • Students must consult with a Computer Science advisor prior to selecting courses.
  • This agreement only applies to students who complete one of the 4 year degrees.  It does not apply to students wishing to obtain a 3 year BSc degree.  Students who entered the program with this agreement, who wish to complete a 3 year program instead, must have their transfer credits reassessed.  Contact Computer Science advising for further information.
