New IT Requirements
Since students with symptoms of COVID-19 or needing to self-isolate are not allowed on campus, students must be prepared to attend classes online via livestream at any point in the year. Therefore, even students planning to attend fully on-campus need home access to internet, a computer (not a cell phone), and a web cam to participate in livestreaming classes, if it becomes necessary.
If you need to Livestream (e.g., you’re self-isolating, or studying by DE)
As a reminder, here is how you can access your course via livestreaming:
NEW! Video-On-Demand (VOD)
VOD is a new option for studying at Horizon. The following video explains how it works.

Library Mailouts or Scheduled Pick-up
You can order library resources for mail out or pick up. Items for pick up will be left just outside the library on a shelf with your name on them.
You will need to search for items via our catalogue and compile a list of your requested items to send to our library technician, Bronwen, at library@horizon.edu. Please include the title, author, and edition (when applicable) of the items you would like. Alternatively, you can choose to include screenshots of the items from our catalogue instead. Please indicate whether you will require your resources to be mailed, or whether you will come to HCS during library hours for pick up.
Module Accommodations (for those living outside of Saskatoon)
If you are a student traveling to Saskatoon from out of town for a Module and in need of accommodations, here are some options:
Billets
We have reached out to various churches around Saskatoon and have a list of willing billets that could accommodate you during your on-campus Module course.
Billets are largely providing out-of-town students with a place to sleep and a bathroom. Billets are not responsible for feeding students. Students are responsible for their own food needs. Some billets might offer some fridge space, breakfast each morning, or invite you for supper a couple of nights, but this would be on the billets own initiative.
Some of our billets have more than one room available. If you are travelling with a group of 2 or more, let our admin staff know and we can provide you with contact for billets that can host more than one student.
Each billet charges $100/week/student.
Please contact Horizon College & Seminary’s main office (306-374-6655) for more information!

If you go to airbnb.ca, you can look up accommodations in Saskatoon that are available for the week of your Module.
