Where is STM?
1 . What is STM?
St. Thomas More College (STM) is a Catholic liberal arts college that
is federated with the University of Saskatchewan. Our students are U of
S Arts & Science students AND STM students at the same time. Our
classes are U of S credit classes.
2 . Where is STM?
We are located on the U of S campus in Saskatoon. Our address is 1437 College Drive. See locations and maps.
3 . How does STM work?
Our unique federation with the U of S can be confusing for prospective
students. Federation basically means that we are academically
integrated with the U of S. We have our own administration and we hire
our own faculty but all the work we do is connected with the larger
university.
4 . How is STM different from the University of Saskatchewan
STM is a Catholic institution. STM has its own administration, faculty,
and staff, but our academic programs are integrated with the U of S.

A student in any U of S college can register in STM classes and be part
of our community but to officially enrol as an STM student, you must be

Saskatchewan. You will find that religious themes are part of the

values as a Catholic college is respect for people's right to choose
their own faith.
