St. Chad College was established in Regina in 1907 for the training of divinity students. It amalgamated with Emmanuel College and moved to the Saskatoon campus in 1964. The Chapel of St. Chad was designed by Webster, Forrester and Scott of Saskatoon and constructed in 1965 and 1966. Located between Emmanuel College and Rugby Chapel near the Wiggins Street entrance, the stone clad structure’s dominant feature is its souring roof line.

Saint Thomas More College (STM) has the distinction of being the first and only federated college at the University of Saskatchewan. It was established as a Catholic college in 1936 following negotiations between Fr. Henry Carr of the Basilian Fathers of Toronto and President Walter Murray of the University of Saskatchewan, and was named for Thomas More, who had been canonized in 1935. Yet the pre-history of the college and its buildings goes back more than a decade earlier. For several years, Saskatoon Catholics had been asking for a Catholic college at the newly established University of Saskatchewan. The first step was taken in 1926, when a group of Catholic laymen established the Newman Society, with the long term goal of establishing a Catholic college at the university. By September of that year, "arrangements were in place for Fr. Dr. Basil Markle from the Archdiocese of Toronto to teach Scholastic Philosophy at the University of Saskatchewan and to serve as chaplain for the Catholic students." The first facility for the Catholic chaplain, with chapel and clubrooms for the use of the Catholic students, was Newman Hall (usually called "the white house"), built in 1927 on land on the south side of the campus at the corner of College Drive and Bottomley Avenue. This building later became St. Thomas More College in 1936 and in 1943 it was enlarged in anticipation of an expected large influx of students when the war would end. The first section of the present greystone building was constructed in 1954-1956 at a cost of $600,000; it was designed by architects Webster and Gilbert and built by Shannon Brothers of Saskatoon, for whom the college's Shannon Library is named. The new building was officially opened on 7 February 1957. Subsequent additions to the college building were completed in two phases, one in 1963 and another in 1969. This three-stage period of construction on the building translated into well over a decade of constant construction between 1954 and 1969, and included a chapel, library, cafeteria, auditorium, faculty offices, classrooms, and an art gallery. Living quarters on the third and fourth floors, used by the Basilian Fathers for many years, have been converted to offices and classroom space in recent years. Renovations since 2000 have involved changes to the auditorium, cafeteria, student and faculty lounges, library, art gallery and the rededication of some areas to use as classrooms.

Operating from 1969 to 1975 and reporting to the Principal, the Student Liaison Office was created by the University Administration as a mechanism to monitor student activities and act as a liaison between the administration and the students.

Originally named the Chemistry Building, the Thorvaldson Building was designed by Architect David R. Brown of Montreal. Although preliminary drawings for the building were complete in 1913, the structure was not built until 1924 due to the disruption of the First World War, followed by economic constraints.

The Veterinary Infectious Disease Organization (VIDO) was established in 1974. Since its inception the Saskatoon based organization has aimed at finding cures for common infectious diseases in cattle, swine, and poultry. In the 1980s, VIDO scientists gained an international reputation for their pioneering work on vaccines aimed at combatting shipping fever and a disease which produces pneumonia and arthritis in cattle. In 1983 VIDO and the University of Saskatchewan collaborated to create BIOSTAR Inc. to commercialize the developments of VIDO. In 1989 a subsidiary, BIOWEST, was created to manufacture products developed by VIDO. The following have served as director of the Organization: C.H. Bigland (1974-1984); S.D. Acre (1984-1992); L.A. Babiuk (1991- ).

The Western College of Veterinary Medicine (WCVM) opened in 1965 with the first veterinarians graduating in 1969. WCVM serves the four western provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, as well as the territories of Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut. WCVM was the second of the English-speaking veterinary colleges to be established in Canada.

The W.P. Thompson Biology Building is named after the University's third president and founder of the Biology Department (1913). Designed by Izumi, Arnott and Sugiyama, it was constructed between 1957 and 1959 and officially opened in 1960. Set back from the Bowl, the flat-roofed cube style building was located between the Collegiate Gothic architecture of the Chemistry and Physics Buildings. It originally consisted of a teaching wing and a research wing but a header and greenhouse complex was added in 1962. Unlike many other Canadian universities the Department of Biology at Saskatchewan remained a single unit, balancing diverse sub-disciplines rather than separating into several distinct departments. Prior to the building's opening in 1960, work in biological sciences was scattered among four campus locations.
Perhaps the most striking of the building’s features is the mural of mosaic tiles that adorns the south and west exterior walls. The mural depicts the four main stages of cellular mitosis. The artist, Roy Kiyooka, chose chromosome patterns as a testament to Dr. Thompson's important discoveries regarding the genetics of wheat rust. In 1986, the Geology Building was completed on the south side of Biology, resulting in the transformation of the south facade from an exterior into an interior wall, part of a new atrium.

The Academic Planning and Priorities Committee was established as a subcommittee of the Academic Affairs Committee of council. It was responsible for developing a strategic planning process to enable budget submissions and academic planning to be considered in light of established priorities. The committee members included: VP (Academic) Patrick Browne (chair), David Atkinson, John Brennan, Paul Bidwell, Nabil Esmail, Graham Simpson, Linda McMullen, Sylvia Wallace, Wayne Ingjaldson, Ron Sutherland, Pauline Melis (secretary).

In May of 1917 the University of Saskatchewan Graduate's Association held its first meeting. Membership was open to all recipient's of degrees or certificates granted by the University who paid the annual fee. Management of the Association's activities were to be conducted by an Executive Committee chosen by secret ballot. Within two years the Association hosted its first annual convocation banquet and opened its first fund raising campaign. In 1927 the first local branches of the Association were formed and the concept soon spread across the country. The Alumni Association acts as a bridge between the graduates and the University. Activities include the publication of the "Green and White", homecoming, college reunions, class reunions, the Convocation Ball, the Alumni Leader's Workshop, branches, Senate representation, the Student Affairs Program, the Alumni Annual Giving Program, and the University Convocation Dinner. By 1995 the Alumni Affairs office was renamed Alumni and Development, incorporating the fundraising and development functions which had previously been under the direction of the Extension Division.
