September 2011
Greetings!
With our beautiful Saskatchewan summer coming to a close, it is time to turn our focus back to school! Students and families are buzzing around campus picking up textbooks, getting their photo I.D's and moving into residences.
Next week, it's back to class for 12,000 U of R students, with Orientation and Welcome Week kicking it all off. Major bands, events every night, and a big party on the Academic Green. It's great to come back to school!

 It all starts with U of R Arts. | |
 Engage your mind, connect with your passion and make a difference!
With 27 academic programs to choose from, the Faculty of Arts offers diverse programming and course options. We take great pride in the flexibility of our programs, appealing to those students with multiple interests, limited schedules and various backgrounds.
In addition to the depth of knowledge you gain within your chosen major, Arts students leave with many transferable skills in communication, problem solving, independence and critical thinking.

University Lingo 101
|  In this issue, let's discuss a few terms that you will be hearing a lot as you start to think about university! Each month, we introduce you to three new university terms to help you feel like a Professor of Academic Lingo.
Program: A specific path of study for a student. For example, Acting is a program in the Department of Theatre, which is part of the Faculty of Fine Arts.
Admission: The process of being accepted to the University. This is the first step to becoming a student. Generally, applicants pay a fee and submit an application along with certain documents. Find out more at http://www.uregina.ca/futurestudents/admissions/index.html.
Registration: After being admitted, the process of selecting your classes. Generally, a student meets with a Faculty or College Advisor who guides them through choosing classes.
These are a few of the main terms that you will hear as yous start to think about post-secondary studies! |
We're a couple weeks away from hitting the road to schools and communities all over Canada. There's a good chance we'll be somewhere near you. Enjoy your summer and keep checking our website for the latest news!  |
