Admission Method
First Qualified/First Admitted
The First Qualified/First Admitted (FQFA) process is used for the majority of
Saskatchewan Polytechnic programs. When we determine that you meet the
program's admission requirements, you will be offered admission based on the date
you fully qualify for the program. The earlier you provide the appropriate documents
and information that qualify you for admission to the next intake, the earlier you
might begin your studies. Your application, once qualified, is always considered for
the next intake.
Applicants to programs with multiple intakes in an academic year remain in the

application pool until the last intake for that academic year has begun. Programs
using the FQFA process receive applications year round and maintain an application
pool for each academic year. Qualified applicants who are not offered a seat must
reapply for the next academic year.
Sponsored programs or programs targeted to specific groups do not accept

applications year round or maintain an application pool.
See Admission Processes (/admissions/apply-and-register/admission-processes.aspx)

for more information about this method of admission.
