UOR - University Of Regina

The University of Regina (U of R) has campuses located in Regina and Saskatoon on Treaty 4 and Treaty 6 territories. These are the ancestral lands of the nêhiyawak (nay-hi-yuh-wuk, Cree), Anihšināpēk (uh-nish-i-naa-payk, Saulteaux), Dakota, Lakota, Nakoda, and the homeland of the Métis/Michif Nation.

A comprehensive university, the U of R traces its roots back to the creation of Regina College, a small residential high school established by the Methodist church in 1911. The College grew in size and significance becoming a campus of the University of Saskatchewan and, ultimately, an independent degree-granting university – the University of Regina – in 1974.

The U of R has:

• 10 faculties;
• 25 academic departments and schools;
• 10 institutional-level research centers and institutes; and,
• three federated colleges: Campion College, First Nations University of Canada, and Luther College.

Some programs are also delivered with partners including Saskatchewan Polytechnic, regional colleges, Gabriel Dumont Institute, and Yukon University.

In 2021, the University of Regina had over 16,000 full-time and part-time students. Our tuition rates are on par with the national average and the University is among the top comprehensive universities in the level of student financial support – scholarships, awards, and bursaries – available as a percentage of tuition.

In Regina, our main and historic College Avenue campuses are located on 239 acres in Wascana Park, one of the largest urban parks in North America, providing an attractive study and work environment for our students, faculty and staff. Both campuses are 100 percent smoke-free as part of our commitment to providing a safe and healthy place in which to study, work, live, and visit.
