Class of 2021,

Congratulations and welcome to the University of Saskatchewan College of Law and to your first year of law school. We are so excited to have you!

Whether you are new to Saskatoon or have lived here prior to attending the U of S College of Law, the Law Students’ Association (LSA) has prepared this package to help to make your transition into law school as smooth as possible. This package contains information about everything from getting a student card to finding CANs (your soon-to-be best friends).

We have included a list of some fun things to do in Saskatoon for stress-relief. The LSA also has a social calendar (found on the USask LSA Website) that contains important dates to keep in mind during the school year. These events range from university and college events to the LSA events that you will soon learn about and love. This calendar will be updated regularly on the website and announced on The Official U of S LSA Social Group Facebook page, so make sure to stay tuned!

It is our hope that this package proves useful. In addition, please remember that the LSA is always available to answer any questions that you may have about school, social activities or life in general.

Welcome and good luck in your first year!

All the Best,

The LSA

General Information Student Cards: • It’s important to have a University of Saskatchewan student card. It acts as your library card, your

bus pass, and your admission to the campus gym. • Student cards can be acquired in person in 2 places on campus: Student Central, which is located

in Room 280 of the Administration Building, for the first few weeks of September. After that, student cards can be acquired at the Student Card Office located in the Bookstore in Marquis Hall.

• There is always a large line-up to get student cards for the first week of classes. Arrive early if possible.

• You can also ORDER YOUR STUDENT CARD ONLINE to avoid the lines at the link below. All you need is a passport style photo in jpeg format that is less than 2MB. Provide your first name, last name, date of birth, and NSID or student ID number. IDs ordered online can be picked up at the Campus Bookstore.

• https://students.usask.ca/essentials/student-id-cards.php

Parking • Campus parking is administered by U of S Parking Services, located in the Animal Science

Building, 72 Campus Drive. Office hours are 8:00AM – 4:30PM Monday to Friday. They can be reached at (306) 966-4502 or at [email protected].

The Stadium Parkade across College Drive near the PAC almost always has parking available, and Parking Services sells month and term passes for the parkade, however these are approximately twice the price of student parking passes. Both lots charge $2.00/hour, to a daily maximum of $8.00.

• Night parking passes are available from the Parking Services office or the Place Riel Information Kiosk at reduced rates. They are valid after 5:00PM in all non-gated lots, and are $50 per semester, or $25 per semester for a specific night of the week.

• Metered spaces are available in front of the Law Building, in the Commerce Loop as well as behind the Diefenbaker Center.

Health and Dental • Every registered full time student, unless they opt out, is part of the USSU Health & Dental Plan.

• You can opt-out at www.ihaveaplan.ca. Click opt out on the right hand column, select University of Saskatchewan and upload photos of your health and dental insurance by the deadline so that you will not have to pay these fees.

• There are also several awards available that must be applied for individually. • Don’t forget to look into the awards offered by the U of S; there are many scholarships and

Student Computing Access: • To access any computer on campus you need an NSID and a password. Your NSID is the three

letter, three number user-name given to you in your registration materials. • If you do not have an NSID go to Room 70 Arts (IT Help Desk), or alternatively, if you are a late-

accepted student, see a U of S Admissions Officer, and they will provide you with one. You will need to have a student card or other form of ID.

Wireless: • Any issues regarding wireless access for your laptop including wireless configuration can be dealt

with in Room 70 Arts (IT Help Desk). • Any personal laptop on the university network is required to have Sophos Anti-virus, which is

provided for free by the university at your first log-on. IT Help Desk: • The IT Help Desk is available from 7am – 5pm, Monday to Friday, and provides free assistance

for any student computing concerns, on campus or personal computers. • Arts Room 70 is the closest IT Help Desk location to the Law Building. • The Help Desk can be reached by phone until 10pm at 966-4817, and by email at

you are encouraged to return the laptop 1 hour before the library closes as checking it back in takes some time).

Student Resources Textbooks • You will receive book lists for each class during the first week of school – you do not need to buy

your books before this time. • The LSA will be having a textbook sale from September 11th & 12th. During this sale, upper years

will be selling their used textbooks through the LSA. This will also be an opportunity to buy first year textbooks and casebooks for a reduced price.

• New and used books are available in the Camps Bookstore, which is located in Marquis Hall and used books are also available at Books Unlimited (1402 College Drive).

• Used books can also be bought from upper year law students at the beginning of each semester privately and through the used textbook sale in the Law Lounge. Check the Facebook group called “Second Hand Textbook Sale- College of Law” for students posting if they are selling books.

• All recommended texts for classes are available at the reserve desk in the library. • Note: While the word “textbook” is often used to refer to your casebooks, textbooks and

casebooks are entirely different. Casebooks are generally the required books for a class and are a compilation of judgements in precedent cases without any elaboration on the concepts. Textbooks are generally only recommended for classes, and contain scholarly discussion of the legal concepts addressed in the cases. If the concepts in class and in the casebooks are unclear, textbooks can often provide assistance.

Condensed Annotated Notes (CANS) • CANS are Condensed Annotated Notes made by former students that summarize cases and other

important concepts discussed in class and found in required texts and course materials. • You should make your own CANS. Just do it. Don’t put it off. • If you want to supplement your CANS, LSA CANS are provided online through the Official LSA

Facebook Group in the files section. • CANS can be a valuable supplementary tool, but students are strongly encouraged to not

rely solely on them. The CANS are not necessarily comprehensive, and some professors have been known in past to specifically target sections of course material in exams that are not adequately covered in previous years’ CANS. CANS can also include inaccurate information.

University of Saskatchewan Students’ Union (USSU) • http://www.ussu.ca/ • The USSU represents students with university administration, organizes bus passes and the

health plan and provides services such as the Food Centre, Help Centre, Pride Centre, and Women’s Centre.

• The USSU office is located in Room 103 Memorial Union Building, and the departments of the USSU can be reached at 306-966-6960

You can also volunteer for Pro Bono Students Canada (PBSC) and contribute to a real-life legal project.
