Applicants who do not possess the academic requirements for a technical program may be admitted if there is evidence they could be successful. This is determined through a special admission assessment called ACCUPLACER. Cumberland College and Saskatchewan Polytechnic (formerly SIAST) uses ACCUPLACER as the official special admissions assessment tool for testing various math and English skills. Special Admissions does not apply to programs classified as high demand.

You must contact your local Cumberland College Advisor to register prior to writing an ACCUPLACER test.
