PROGRAM INFORMATION:
UNDERGRADUATEPROGRAMS
UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS Admission to undergraduate programs is divided into two categories: direct entry and advanced entry.
Direct EntryStudents coming to university directly from high school or who have completed less than one year of university studies will take the direct entry route into a faculty or program. For most students, this means entering into University 1 (see page 8). Students can also apply for direct entry admission to certain faculties and programs.
Advanced EntryAfter completing University 1, students can choose to apply to a variety of different faculties and programs at the U of M. Each program that accepts students from University 1 (or with the equivalent amount of work completed in another faculty) has certain criteria that must be met in order to be considered for admission. These requirements include academic criteria (e.g. a minimum number of courses that must be completed, specific courses, minimum grades in specific courses, etc.) and non-academic criteria (e.g. references, an interview, relevant experience, etc.).
Some faculties, such as Nursing and Architecture, require at least one year of study before students can apply for admission. Other faculties, such as Law and Education, require at least two or more years of study.
To learn more about the admission requirements for our programs, visit us online.
➜ umanitoba.ca/admissions
Students who apply from high school will begin their studies as an undergraduate student. This first level of studies is taken in order to obtain a bachelor’s (or similar) degree. More than 60 undergraduate programs are offered at the University of Manitoba, many with double honours and double major program options.

University 1 (U1) is a unique approach to a student's first year at the U of M, giving students the opportunity to design an individualized schedule that meets the admission and/or first-year requirements for one or more target degree programs. U1 will not add any time or cost to a degree; it serves as year 1 of any 3 or 4-year degree program.
U1 can provide students with specialized support and guidance when making decisions about course selection and degree planning. It can also help students adjust to university life and expectations while enabling them to build the skills they need to achieve academic success. Advisors are available prior to and during first year to ensure the transition to university is smooth and successful.
The First 6 Weeks Program provides step-by-step assistance to help develop the skills and habits students will need to succeed at university.
➜ umanitoba.ca/firstyear

UNIVERSITY OF MANITOBA BURSARY PROGRAMThe University of Manitoba has a bursary program for new and continuing university students with good academic marks who demonstrate a significant level of financial need. Bursaries are usually issued in varying amounts with over $4 million awarded annually.
Candidate Requirements- Registration as either a full-time or part-
time student (bursary award pro-rated by amount of registration hours)
- Good marks- Clearly demonstrated financial
need (students should apply for government-sponsored student aid in the preceding June or July to obtain a Notice of Assistance)
- Application for a bursary through the Awards Office no later than October 1 of the University year in which they require assistance. Application is made available annually in late August through Aurora Student (Student Awards and Financial Aid tab).
Note: International students in their first year of post-secondary study in Canada are not eligible to apply to the general bursary program.
OTHER AWARDS, SCHOLARSHIPS AND BURSARIESThe Financial Aid and Awards Office administers a small number of other awards and bursaries which are available for entering students. These are often designed for a very specific group of students (e.g., Manitoba Hydro awards for Aboriginal students in Engineering, Management, Computer Science). All awards that require an application will be posted on the Financial Aid and Awards website.

STUDENT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMThe Manitoba Student Financial Assistance Program provides financial assistance for educational purposes to Manitobans with limited financial resources. The funds are designed to supplement, not replace, the student’s resources or those of their immediate family. The amount of assistance granted is determined according to specific program criteria, up to the maximum allowable amounts.
The Program administers the Canada Student Loans program (CSLP) on behalf of the federal government for students who are Manitoba residents. The 2014-2015 maximum assistance provided is $350 per week of studies. Needs are met through a 60%/40% Federal (Canada Student Loan)/Provincial (Manitoba Student Loan) cost-sharing arrangement. Loans are interest free during full-time study; repayment of loans must begin six months after ceasing to be a full-time student.
You may also be eligible for various grants (non-repayable award assistance) that are available through Manitoba Student Aid. Manitoba students are encouraged to apply online at studentaid.gov.mb.ca. This will speed up the processing of their loan by four to six weeks. Further information on the requirements and application procedure for the CSLP is available from the Financial Aid and Awards Office.
THE UNIVERSITY OF MANITOBA WORK STUDY PROGRAMThe Work Study Program was initiated in 1997/98 to provide supplementary financial assistance for students with documented financial need through part-time employment on campus.
Candidate Eligibility- Must be in receipt of government-
sponsored student aid of at least $2,000 for the current academic session
- Canadian citizens or permanent residents- Full-time students (carrying at least 60
percent of a full course-load per term, and must be enrolled from September through April).
- Satisfactory academic standing (average of “C” in previous post-secondary academic session)
- Documented financial need as approved by the Financial Aid and Awards Office
The program was created to provide incentive for students with assessed need to continue their studies and provide them with practical work experience. Applications are available in October of each year. Students are encouraged to check the University of Manitoba’s Career Services website for more information.
➜ umanitoba.ca/student/employment
NEW ONLINE AWARDS DATABASEIn the 2013/14 academic year, over 10,000 students received award funding from the University of Manitoba. In an effort to assist students in finding which awards they are eligible for, the University of Manitoba has launched its new online awards database.
Previously, students had to contact multiple offices to gather information on available awards. The new database removes the guesswork, providing a central source for all undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate Senate-approved awards at the University of Manitoba.
Users can modify their search by level, major, graduate program, application required, or keyword. There is also the option to search by groups: Aboriginal, international, and students with disabilities. Once you find the award you’re looking for, you can get further information including the full description of the award, cash value, eligibility criteria and application information.
Current and prospective students, faculty, staff, award donors and high schools can access the database now at umanitoba.ca/student/awards, or through the UManitoba mobile app – available on Apple and Android devices.

ST. ANDREW’S COLLEGE204-474-8895 ➜ umanitoba.ca/colleges/st_andrews
St. Andrew’s College is a Ukrainian Canadian academic institution affiliated with the University of Manitoba and sponsored by the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada. It welcomes all qualified students who are attracted to the setting of a small college with special emphasis on the Ukrainian Canadian heritage and the Orthodox Christian faith.
The College’s academic pursuits entail two areas of study. First, the Faculty of Theology exercises a unique responsibility for the academic preparation of candidates for the priesthood and lay leadership of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada and other countries and churches. Second, the Centre for Ukrainian Canadian Studies offers programs with a major or minor at the undergraduate level in Ukrainian Canadian Heritage Studies.
St. Andrew’s College also offers residence accommodation for approximately forty students, male and female, enrolled in its programs as well as those of the University of Manitoba.
Benefits of MembershipStudents who are registered at the University of Manitoba in any faculty or program of study at both the undergraduate and graduate levels have the option of joining a college and being a college member. Both day students and residents can be members of St. Andrew’s College. Membership is not restricted to residence students. There is no additional cost involved.
Students have an opportunity to learn about their Ukrainian heritage, worship in our chapel and deepen their faith, and participate in our Ukrainian cultural programme. All students have access to our chaplain and participate in a full cycle of Ukrainian Orthodox liturgical services throughout the academic year. St. Andrew’s College is the only Ukrainian Orthodox College on the campus of a major university.
LibraryThe College Library has over 40,000 volumes in its collection. Through the acquisition of the late Metropolitan Ilarion (Dr. Ivan Ohienko) library in 1971, the collection is unique in the field of Ukrainian Studies. It is also well provided in the area of Eastern Christianity. The library offers exceptional resources to both Theology and Arts students.
ChapelThe daily, weekly, and yearly cycle of Liturgical Services constitutes the very centre of life for Faculty of Theology students. All students take an active part in reading, singing, and serving according to their assignments.
The College Chapel is also the liturgical centre for the Orthodox students on campus. Guests are always cordially welcomed. It is always open for both personal prayer and individual meditation.

Student Life creates opportunities for student success by providing orientation programming, service-learning programs, and leadership and volunteer opportunities for all students.
OrientationWe welcome every new student to the University of Manitoba with both summer (Head Start 2015 is scheduled for June 6, 2015) and fall Orientation programs (Sept. 1 & 2, 2015). These programs help our new students explore the university, connect with each other, and succeed.
Service-Learning With service-learning programs, students can learn about social justice issues in our community and work for change. We offer local programs in Winnipeg and Northern Manitoba, and international programs in Central America, South America, and Bangladesh. In all of our programs, students have the opportunity to participate in engaging discussions about global issues, work alongside local communities, build relationships, and gain intercultural skills.

Our initiatives include a range of one day events to full-semester length programs. Each opportunity aims to allow students to hone their skills, define their own leadership identity and gain experience through hands on practical applications.

IF A STUDENT RECEIVES A CONDITIONAL OFFER OF ADMISSION, DOES THAT MEAN THEY ARE OFFICIALLY ADMITTED INTO THEIR CHOSEN PROGRAM?
No. Eligible students receive a Conditional Offer of Admission after they submit a completed application for admission, and only if they apply before March 1. This offer is a preliminary assessment of their admission and scholarship eligibility. Once we receive the student’s interim grade 12 marks in the spring, the student will receive a formal Admission Offer, which they must accept or decline by a certain deadline (usually June 1). Depending on the Direct Entry program the student applies to, final grades may be needed before an admission offer can be given. All admission offers are subject to a review of final grades.
IF A STUDENT MEETS THE MINIMUM ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS FOR THEIR CHOSEN DIRECT ENTRY PROGRAM, DOES THAT MEAN THEIR ADMISSION TO THE PROGRAM IS GUARANTEED?
Certain Direct Entry programs (e.g., Business, Engineering, Kinesiology and Recreation Management) admit only a certain amount of students each year. In situations where admission is competitive, students may require higher averages than the minimum averages specified in our admission requirements to be admitted.
IF A STUDENT APPLIES FOR A DIRECT ENTRY PROGRAM, BUT DOES NOT MEET THE QUALIFICATIONS FOR ADMISSION, DO THEY NEED TO RE-APPLY FOR ADMISSION TO A DIFFERENT PROGRAM?
Applicants who are not admitted to their chosen Direct Entry program will be automatically considered for admission to University 1. The student does not need to re-apply for admission or pay an additional application fee.
(Note: If a student is interested in applying for a different Direct Entry program other than University 1, they will need to submit a new application and pay a new application fee.)
IF A STUDENT IS INTERESTED IN TWO SEPARATE DIRECT ENTRY PROGRAMS, CAN THEY APPLY TO BOTH?
Yes. While students are welcome to apply to more than one Direct Entry program, we encourage students to explore our programs in advance of applying in order to make a more informed and committed decision. Should students apply for more than one program, they will need to pay separately for each application.
IS IT A STUDENT’S RESPONSIBILITY TO SUBMIT THEIR HIGH SCHOOL TRANSCRIPT TO THE ADMISSIONS OFFICE?
For Manitoba applicants, no – provided they apply for admission before March 1. For these students, Admissions will contact individual schools and school divisions to request interim grades and, later, final grades. Applicants from other Canadian provinces and the USA are required to submit their transcripts to the Admissions office.
IS THE ADMISSIONS PROCESS DIFFERENT FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS BORN OUTSIDE OF CANADA? (E.G., INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS, RECENT IMMIGRANTS, PERMANENT RESIDENTS STUDYING AT CANADIAN HIGH SCHOOLS, ETC.)
The Admission requirements are the same, but students must demonstrate English language proficiency. Students who have studied for at least three consecutive years in a country where English is a primary language may be considered for an English language proficiency waiver (important: three consecutive years of high school transcripts and not just the senior year transcript must be provided to prove this). Additionally, Manitoba high school graduates who have completed two 40S English courses (this can include two ELA courses or a combination of one EAL and one ELA course) with an average grade of 75% or higher may also be considered for an English language proficiency waiver. Permanent Residents and Canadian Citizens must also submit a scanned copy of their Permanent Resident or Citizenship card (or passport).
ARE ALL 40S COURSES USED TO DETERMINE SCHOLARSHIP ELIGIBILITY?
Not all 40S courses will be used to determine scholarship eligibility. A complete listing of eligible scholarship courses can be found on page 21 of this book, in our Domestic Viewbook, as well as on our website.

IF A STUDENT IS TAKING ADVANCED PLACEMENT (AP) OR INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE (IB) COURSES AS WELL AS REGULAR CREDIT COURSES, WILL THEIR AP OR IB MARKS BE REVIEWED FOR SCHOLARSHIP AND ADMISSION OFFERS?
No extra weight is given to AP or IB credits over regular credits. However, AP or IB credits may be used to determine entrance scholarship offers and admission offers by replacing the AP or IB course’s 40S equivalent. This only occurs if the AP or IB mark is higher than its 40S equivalent.
IS IT POSSIBLE FOR A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT TO SIT-IN ON A UNIVERSITY CLASS AS PART OF A CAMPUS VISIT?
No – largely because the information given in the class would be completely out of context for the student visitor. Students interested in visiting the U of M should instead book a campus tour and advising session with Student Recruitment, or attend one of our annual recruitment events. Our campus-wide open house, Info Days, is held annually in February and features many faculty-specific sessions and "mini-lectures" targeted towards high school age prospective students.
