We are so excited to welcome you to the College of Kinesiology. We admit approximately 175 students to our College each year. We know you are very excited to start your academic journey with us and will have many questions. Questions such as what classes do I take? How do I look up classes to take? How do I register? What does 3 credit units mean?
We are asking you to attend a U-Start session PRIOR to asking for an academic advising appointment. U-Start will answer all of your questions and more. There will be two in-person sessions (you only attend one) as well as a virtual session if you cannot attend in-person. You must register for U-Start . Here is the link.

Once you have attended a U-Start session, and if you still have questions, we would be happy to book an appointment with you. You can book an appointment by emailing keeran.wagner@usask.ca or kin_advisor@usask.ca Please do not email both. Email one. Please provide your student number and a few days/times that will work for you and we will get you in.
We look forward to working with you on your journey in Kinesiology.
