Accident InsuranceAs a SIAST student, you will be covered by a special accident policy paid for out of your Students' Association fee. The insurance provides additional benefits beyond the Provincial Hospitalization Plan. You will have coverage for accidents that occur on campus and while attending or participating in approved and supervised off campus activities.
AccommodationsWhile we do not have student residences on our campuses, each campus maintains a Housing Registry that lists living accommodations available to you. The Registry is updated on a regular basis and is helpful if you are looking for an apartment, room and board, room only or shared accommodation. SIAST does not investigate or approve the accommodations listed in the registries nor do we assume responsibility for rental arrangements made between you and the landlord/landlady. Students attending Wascana Campus (Regina) may want to consider living at the new 693-bed residence on the University of Regina campus. It's only minutes from Wascana Campus and offers students all the amenities of home. Plus, it has a great view of the Regina skyline. For more information, call 1-866-354-3394 or visit Residence Services on the University of Regina Website.

Therefore, the range of services provided for Education Equity students is as diverse as the needs of those students. We strive for equity (not uniformity) and provide varied services for students with differing needs.
