Who Can Apply
The Spring Session Ukrainian Language Program is aimed primarily at second, third and fourth year University of Saskatchewan students interested in acquiring for university credit Ukrainian language and an international experience. Students from other universities are eligible, and will be required to register as University of Saskatchewan students.
Prerequisites
Undergraduate students who have 30 credit units at the university level may apply to the program. Graduate students who are interested in attending the program must first consult with the Canadian Program Coordinator.

Students already enrolled in undergraduate studies at the University of Saskatchewan are required to register for the Spring Session courses prior to departure. Students will be able to register for these courses through the University of Saskatchewan online registration system.
Non-University of Saskatchewan Applicants
Students not enrolled at the University of Saskatchewan will be required to apply to the University of Saskatchewan through the registrar after formal acceptance into the program.
Tuition
Tuition for the SSU 2011 follows the University of Saskatchewan tuition rates for the 2010-2011 Academic Year. Tuition fees are subject to change: $1014.00 CDN for two 3 credit unit classes ($507.00 CDN for a single 3 credit unit course).
Credit Transferability
All courses offered through the University of Saskatchewan/STM College Spring Session in Ukraine are the University of Saskatchewan regular courses offered on the U of S campus.
Students from other Canadian and international universities are welcome to participate in this program. Students, however, should consult with their program advisors on the matter of credit transfer, in order to transfer their U of S credits to their home university. In the past, program participants transferred credits earned in Ukraine to their home universities. These included the University of British Columbia (2003), Toronto (2004), Regina (2005) and Dalhousie University (2005).
Auditing Status
For students wishing to audit courses in Ukraine, please correspond with the Canadian Program Coordinator.
Responsibility
Students who have chosen to participate in a student exchange are responsible for ensuring that their academic needs are met. Students are also responsible for ensuring their financial and personal obligations are met before leaving on an exchange.
Orientation Sessions
Students are required to attend Pre-Departure Orientation sessions. The orientation sessions will cover issues such as health and safety abroad, culture shock, intercultural communications and logistics. Students accepted into the program will be notified of the time and location of the Pre-Departure Orientation sessions.
Visa Requirements
On July 26, 2005, the President of Ukraine signed Decree No. 1134/2005 "On the introduction of a visa-free regime for citizens of Canada" which implements a visa-free regime for entry into Ukraine by citizens of Canada for a period of 90 days.
