The University experience is all about exploring oneself in the context of the wider community, and Learning Communities help new students to do just that.

Any Learning Community (LC) could be the right fit, but AR02 (Drama 118 – Native Studies 107) and AR07 (Philosophy 140 – Political Studies 112), are great options for students eager to explore themselves and the choice-saturated world they live in.

LC Sign-up will remain open until these communities approach their limit.

If you are interested in connecting with successful senior students, recent grads, and exceptional professors, any learning community could become the right fit for you! If you haven't already done so, explore your options and sign up for a learning community before June 21: http://www.usask.ca/ulc/lc/prospective

If you sign up before June 21, you will automatically be put in the classes associated with your learning community, and all you’ll have to do on your registration day is add the additional classes you’d like to take. Learn more about learning communities and registration: http://www.usask.ca/ulc/lc/faq#8

For more information, please contact us.

We look forward to welcoming you to a learning community this fall!
