The application fee is mandatory - no exceptions are possible. A non-refundable application fee of $90 CDN is required before your application will be processed. We recommend that you pay your application fee online at the time of application to avoid any delays in the processing of your application. You can only pay online during the initial application process. If you are unable to complete your credit card payment online, but still wish to pay with credit card, you can submit a Credit Card Payment Form (https://grad.usask.ca/documents/payment.pdf).
The Credit Card Payment Form can be faxed to 306-966-2115, or mailed to Student and Enrolment Services, 105 Administration Place, Saskatoon SK, Canada S7N 5A2.

After the Department has considered your application (which usually occurs over the January to March), a recommendation for admission may be given to the College. The review process can take until the end of March before decisions are finalized. You will be notified by the Department of the final decision. If a recommendation for admission is given your application will be sent to the College for review. You will receive a letter from the College if accepted once they have reviewed your file.
We usually recommend acceptances by the end of March. Only complete applications will be considered
Applications that do not meet our minimum requirements will be notified at the time of pre-screening. All other applications will find out in April if they were declined or are on a short list.
If you have already applied to our graduate program and are inquiring about the status of your application, please note that due to the large number of applications we receive each year, we cannot routinely acknowledge when we receive each piece of information or provide updates on the application progress. We contact all applicants who have paid the application fee and provided all required documents with a final decision email. Contact can sometimes take an extended period of time due to the large number of applications we receive. Please be patient and wait for further contact from mathgrad@math.usask.ca.
