Student Handbook 2024
While studying at SAE, it’s super important that you understand how things work regarding your enrolment, study and ultimately your graduation. The following handbook offers everything you need to know – from attendance requirements, to how to apply for an extension. From what facilities and support services we provide to who to contact in an emergency. This is a valuable resource as a student and we recommend you visit this page often.
If, upon reading the Student Handbook, you still have questions, then please reach out to our Student Success Advisor at:
