LC sign-up opened May 6th at noon and closes June 9th.

Go to our website and choose one of our FLEX LC’s. All registration is done through the website (click on the name of the LC to expand it; there will be a link to register at the bottom of the box). Once you register for an LC, it is that same as registering for courses through PAWS: you are responsible for paying for and attending each class, or dropping the courses if you do not plan to attend.

You can drop LC courses through PAWS just like any other course after after the first year registration window in June (students should be aware of drop deadlines throughout the term). If you do not take all the courses attached to an LC, you will not get the full benefit. Students who drop LC courses or the LC hour before the start of the term may be asked to withdraw from all their LC classes to make room for other students who wish to enroll in that LC.

If you want more advice on LC selection, you should email us at aslc@usask.ca and we can reccomend an LC that meets your needs. 

No, you do not. However, you need to sign up for a Term 1 LC to be enrolled in FLEX. Once you have signed up for your Term 1 LC, you may be interested in choosing one of our Term 2 LCs. Don't wait too long to decide, they will fill up fast!

You can sign up for a Term 2 LC starting May 1, 2024 at noon right after you sign up for your Term 1 LC.

Yes. After you sign-up for an LC, you will be sent a confirmation e-mail within 30 minutes that contains further information about LC block registration.

Absolutely! You can add more classes to your schedule when the LC Registration Window opens for LC students in June. You need to ensure these courses fit within your LC schedule (LC classes in your Block will have to be registered for first before you can add more courses to the LC). Five courses per term is the maximum for first year students.

Attendance is taken at each LC hour. There are no academic consequences for missing LC hours, but students who do not attend the LC hour will be missing almost all the benefits of the program.

Yes, you will! We understand the demands on your time as a university student. You should consider the time you dedicate to your FLEX Learning Community as an investment, by attending the weekly 50 minute sessions you will learn the academic skills necessary to successfully navigate your courses; the developmental skills to establish a healthy school-life balance; and, the personal skills to create meaningful friendships that will continue well beyond your time in FLEX!

No. Your Peer Mentors are students in their third- and fourth-year of study. They facilitate your weekly sessions, some of which will focus on developing academic and learning skills such as note-taking, study skills, exam preparation and making connections. In addition, your Peer Mentors act as a resource for you as you navigate your way through your first year.

The LC hour is not for credit and will not have any assignments. It is purely for students’ benefit. Courses attached to LC’s are the same as any other Arts and Science course for grading.

No. We appreciate your enthusiasm for the program, but students are restricted to one LC per Term.

Once you register for an LC the only way to switch to another LC is to contact the LC team at aslc@usask.ca. There is no guarantee that the LC you want to switch to will have space, so choose wisely!

Not directly, no. Registration in an LC does not guarantee enrollment in any program or college, or special consideration when applying.

Once an LC is full, registration for that particular LC is closed.

You will be able to check your detailed student schedule (with room numbers) after the first year registration window opens in June through PAWS.

You will be able to view which seminar you have been registered for in your PAWS account after the first year registration window opens in June. We understand that many students will want to know what seminar or laboratory they are enrolled in before June, so feel free to email us at aslc@usask.ca.

There are no extra fees! The LC Hour with the Peer Mentors is a free non-credit course. However, when you sign-up for an LC you are responsible for the fees and tuition associated with the classes within that LC.
