Registration Process

  1. Membership: Ensure your SSCL membership is current. A fee of $5 for membership will be added if needed during registration.
  2. Register Online: Use SmartRec (formerly “Amilia”) via SSCL's website: https://artsandscience.usask.ca/sscl . If you have previously used Amilia, your account was already transferred to SmartRec.
  3. First-Time Users: Create a SmartRec account if registering for the first time.
  4. Support for Accessibility: If online registration is not feasible, individuals facing genuine difficulties can call or text our SSCL help line at 1-306-343-6773 or email us for assistance. This service is exclusively for those who cannot register online due to technical issues or accessibility concerns. It is not intended for individuals who simply prefer not to register online.
  5. Review the terms and conditions before registering (below).
  6. Hybrid Option: Registered on-campus participants will receive a coupon to add the online component for $20 later, once on-campus registrations close.
  7. Confirmation: Check your registration via “My Calendar and Upcoming Activities on your SmartRec account Home Page. Contact SSCL if confirmation is not received (saskatoonseniorscl@gmail.com | 1-306-343-6773). Your registration remains tentative until payment is received.
  8. Online Courses: Log in to the Zoom “classroom” with the same name and email used for registration each week. Retain the unique Zoom link you receive for course access to be used each week.
  9. Log-In Rules: Never share your login information. If persons other than those who are registered for a course sign in or attempt to sign in on your account, they will be barred from the course, and you may lose your attendance privileges.
  10. Testing Connection: Join online courses early to test your connection. Only verified participants will be admitted from the Zoom Waiting Room.
  11. Inquiries: Email saskatoonseniorscl@gmail.com or call / text 1-306-343-6773 with questions.

Hybrid Courses

  1. Hybrid courses are offered both on-campus and online.
  2. Choose either on-campus or online during registration. You can't switch once registered. “A” courses = on campus delivery | “B” courses = online delivery
  3. Online participants may have some differences in their experience, such as Q&A typing and potential limitations in seeing the instructor or blackboard. The sound quality for hybrid online participants may not be as sharp as it would be for an online only course. The video camera in the room will be capturing the front of the classroom including the presenter, blackboard, and screen.
  4. On-campus attendees should be aware of potential camera views that include views of attendees. If there is space in the classroom, you can sit further back to avoid being in the view.
  5. Note the “Option for Hybrid Courses” information in the General Requirements section above.

Payments

  1. Accepted methods: credit card, e-transfer
  2. Credit Card: Payments are processed immediately via SmartRec.
  3. Offline Payments: For e-Transfers, select “Offline Payment” during registration. Send e-transfers to saskatoonseniorscl@gmail.com and specify the member's name(s) in the message box.

Terms & Conditions

Refunds: Typically not issued unless the course is canceled. If a course is canceled, participants will be notified by e-mail through the Registrar. If available, participants will be offered a different course for that semester. If an alternate course is not available or acceptable to the participant, a refund will be processed.

By registering, you agree to these terms and conditions.
