University Updates 2021-2022

Dear Cumberland College Students:

Welcome to the 2021-2022 University year! We are extremely pleased that you have chosen Cumberland College for your academic needs; whether you are beginning or continuing your degree, we are excited that you have chosen us!!!  We are especially excited to begin the transition back to our campuses… we have definitely missed seeing students in our hallways and classrooms.  Our move back to on-campus instruction will be made through a measured and careful approach that focuses on the safety of students and staff.  This means some things, like continued focus on increased sanitation and masking requirements, will remain in place for the time-being; however, we genuinely feel that we are ready to welcome you and your fellow student back on campus.

Our campuses will usually be open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with some extended hours to accommodate course schedules. If you need to access a computer or other resources, or if you need help of any kind, please stop at one of the front desks and ask. One thing has certainly not changed during the COVID pandemic - our commitment to and pride in providing exceptional student support – we are here to help!!!

The U of R remains committed to virtual course delivery for the Fall Term.  However, we are happy to be offering some USask courses through face-to-face or blended delivery. Please see our Timetable for course offerings, schedules, and delivery modalities. Please see our Timetable for course offerings.

University Tutor: Our University tutor will be Erin Crakewich.  Erin will be drafting a schedule in the near future, and this will be communicated to our students.  Please feel free to reach out to Erin if you require a little extra help with your studies!  Stay tuned for more information on tutor support.

We are hoping to host a welcome and orientation evening sometime near the beginning of the Fall Term.  Please be on the lookout for more information on this exciting opportunity!

Regardless of delivery model, students registered as Cumberland College students will continue to have access to the following supports:

• Complete access to Cumberland advising team who provide academic advising and financial advising, and are well-versed in disability support services, student loan applications, amongst other topics.
• Eligible for Cumberland College Entrance Scholarship and General Awards
• Free access to a Cumberland College tutor
• Free access to various other workshops designed to aid in student success
• Ability to participate in orientation activities and meet other Cumberland College students
