All applicants must also submit references with their applications.

Diversity Admission Category

The Faculty of Education has a Diversity Admissions Category. The Faculty recognizes the importance of providing the highest quality of education to all students in Manitoba via a teaching force that is fully representative of the cultural, ethnic and racial diversity of the province.

As the largest teacher education institution in the province, the Faculty recognizes its responsibility to facilitate the development of such a teaching force. Furthermore, the Faculty recognizes the need to ensure that its recruitment and admission policies and procedures do not inappropriately obstruct the achievement of such a goal, but rather actively promote its attainment.

In keeping with the above, the Faculty will admit up to forty-five percent (45%) of the After-Degree B.Ed. applicants under this policy. For the purposes of self-identification, the Diversity Admissions Categories include: Canadian Indigenous, Racially Marginalized Persons, Persons with Marginalized Genders and/or Sexualities, Disabled Persons or Persons with Disabilities, and Systemically Marginalized Persons.

Canadian Indigenous (Allocations 15% of each stream) – This includes Canadian First Nations, Metis, and Inuit peoples.

Racially Marginalized Persons (Allocation 7.5% of each stream) – This includes those who have been treated differently by people or institutions on the basis of their perceived racial backgrounds, colour, and/or ethnicity. This diversity category includes non-Canadian Indigenous peoples.

Persons with Marginalized Genders and/or Sexualities (Allocation 7.5% of each stream) – This includes persons who self-identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender/transsexual, two spirit or queer (LGBTTQ).

Disabled Persons or Persons with Disabilities (Allocation 7.5% of each stream) – This includes those who have a diagnosed physical, mental, psychological, sensory or diagnosed learning disability.

Systemically Marginalized Persons (Allocation 7.5% of each stream) – A student graduating from the University of Manitoba ACCESS1 Program from an Undergraduate Degree Program in May of the application year or in October of the preceding year. 

All information on admission requirements are described in detail in the Applicant Bulletin that includes application deadline dates and information about applying online. This material is available from the Office of the Registrar and Enrolment Services, 4th Floor University Centre.

1

For the purpose of admission, the Faculty of Education follows the University of Manitoba criteria for ACCESS Program applicants, that is: those who have not had the opportunity for university studies at the degree level because of social, economic and cultural reasons, lack of formal education or residence in remote areas.

Criminal Records and Child Abuse Registry

All applicants offered admission to the After-Degree Bachelor of Education program are required to complete the “Self-Declaration for Newly Admitted Students: Child Abuse Registry and Statement of Criminal Records” form as a condition of final acceptance to the program. Only adult convictions must be disclosed, and the existence of such a record will not automatically exclude applicants.

In addition to the above self-declaration, all successful applicants will be conditionally admitted pending clearance of an official Criminal Record Search (including vulnerable sector screening) and clearance from the Child Abuse Registry. Both documents must be current (dated March 15 or later of admit year). Registration will not be permitted until these clearances are received. Failure to clear or failure to provide these documents by the stated deadline (see Applicant Bulletin) will result in admission offer being revoked.

It is strongly recommended that applicants order these documents immediately following admission offer.

After-Degree Bachelor of Education Program - Academic Regulations

The provisions of the Academic Calendar chapters, General Academic Regulations and University Policies and Procedures, apply to all students. In addition, the Faculty of Education has regulations and requirements, published below, that apply specifically to its students.

Academic Regulations of the After-Degree Bachelor of Education Programs

Academic Requirement for Graduation

A Degree GPA of 2.50 is required for graduation in the After-Degree B.Ed.

Academic Standing

A minimum DGPA of 2.50 must be maintained in the After-Degree B.Ed. program for clear standing. A grade of “C” or a Pass (P) is a passing grade for Education courses including practicum.

Additional Academic Considerations

Each student in the Faculty of Education is presumed to be generally suited to a teaching program. Should this prove not to be the case, the Faculty reserves the right, at any time, to require a student to withdraw from the After-Degree B.Ed. program. Unsatisfactory performance in Practicum courses may be considered reason to require an After-Degree B.Ed. student to withdraw from the faculty. Refer to Professional Unsuitability By-Law.

Appeal Procedures

The Faculty of Education Grade Appeal Policy & Procedure is located on the Faculty of Education website. Information about admission decision appeals may be found in the Academic Calendar chapter, Admissions.

Assessment of Student Academic Performance

Academic performance is assessed at the end of each regular term in which the After-Degree B.Ed. student is registered in all courses that are used for credit towards the After-Degree B.Ed. degree. Decisions concerning academic standing are normally made upon initial completion of 15 credit hours.

Based on the DGPA attained in these courses, the following decisions with respect to the student’s eligibility to continue as a Faculty of Education After-Degree B.Ed. student will be made.

Eligible to Proceed

​The student with a minimum of 2.50 is eligible to proceed.

Academic Probation

The student who passes all courses, but whose DGPA is below 2.50 but above 1.99 is placed on academic probation.

The student with failing grades whose DGPA is below 2.50 but above 1.99 may be granted permission to repeat and/or replace the failed courses and permission to proceed on probation until completion of an additional 15 credit hours of Education coursework.

Students placed on academic probation may continue on probation until they have completed an additional 15 credit hours of required degree coursework. To clear probation, a student must raise their DGPA to 2.50 by the end of the probationary period. Students on probation who fail to raise the DGPA to at least 2.50 will be required to withdraw on academic grounds (suspension) for a period of two years.

Academic Suspension

Any student who does not meet the minimum academic requirements or whose DGPA is below 2.00 shall be required to withdraw on academic grounds (suspension) from the Faculty of Education for a period of two academic years.

Students who have been required to withdraw on academic grounds will be informed via registered mail. These students may not register at the university for two academic years. Following this period, students wishing to pursue an After-Degree B.Ed. must make a written request for reinstatement. The following will apply in such cases:

  • No application for reinstatement will be considered before a minimum period of two academic years has lapsed from the effective date of the required withdrawal to the effective date of the requested reinstatement.
  • The applicant will be expected to demonstrate that he or she will now be able to meet the academic requirements of the program.

If the student is reinstated after the time limit for program completion has expired (see Statute of Limitation Regulations), the Associate Dean, Undergraduate and Partnerships, shall determine which, if any, courses previously successfully completed shall be repeated or replaced.

Attendance at Class/Withdrawal

Regular attendance is expected for all students in all courses, including practicum. An instructor or Associate Dean, Undergraduate and Partnerships, in consultation with the instructor, will normally initiate procedures to withdraw a student from a course where unexcused absences exceed 10% of the scheduled instructional class hours for a course in any one term, or where absences (excused or unexcused) reach 20% or higher of the scheduled class instructional hours for a course in any one term.

Students must contact instructors regarding absences. Students may be required to complete alternative professional learning activities.

The Faculty sponsors a number of lectures, workshops, and forums. Attendance for students is mandatory. Details will be posted on the "News and Events" section of the faculty's website.

See refer to the Attendance Policy for details.

Authorized Withdrawals

Authorized Withdrawals (AWs) may be requested on medical or compassionate grounds, subject to satisfactory documentation. Students must contact an Education Academic Advisor to initiate an Authorized Withdrawal.

Dean’s Honour List

Students registered in a minimum of 12 credit hours within a single term and who achieve a Term Grade Point Average of 3.90 or better will be included in the Dean’s Honour List. Grades for coursework taken on a Letter of Permission and used towards the After-Degree B.Ed. will be used in meeting the eligibility requirements of the Dean’s Honour List.

Students receiving failing grades where such coursework is required to earn the After-Degree B.Ed. and/or practicum will not be eligible for the Dean’s Honour List.

Eligible students must be enrolled in the After-Degree B.Ed. program.

Degree with Distinction

A student graduating from the After-Degree B.Ed. program will have the degree granted “With Distinction” if a minimum DGPA of 4.20 has been attained on all courses that are used for credit towards the After-Degree B.Ed. This distinction will be noted on the parchment and on the student’s transcript.

Gold Medal

The Gold Medal is awarded each year to the After-Degree B.Ed. graduate who has the highest GPA (minimum 3.75) in the last 60 credit hours of the After-Degree B.Ed. and who has completed at least 80 percent of what is considered to be the normal full course load in each of the last two years of the program.

Grading Scale
Letter Grade Grade Point Level of Achievement Percentage Range
A+ 4.50 Exceptional 95 and above
A 4.00 Excellent 90-94
B+ 3.50 Very Good 85-89
B 3.00 Good 80-84
C+ 2.50 Satisfactory 75-79
C 2.00 Adequate 70-74
D 1.00 Unacceptable 60-69
F 0.00 Failure Below 60

The required After-Degree B.Ed. Practicum courses are marked on a Pass/Fail basis.

A minimum grade of “C” or a Pass (P) is required for all B.Ed. courses.

Incompletes

Refer to the General Academic Regulations, Academic Evaluation.

Leave of Absence and Part-Time Studies

Although most students will complete the After-Degree B.Ed. program in two years, the Faculty recognizes that individual circumstances may arise that require a student to take one or more full years away from study. In such cases a student should meet with an Education Academic Advisor as early as possible to discuss their particular situation and to map out plans for completing their program. It is important to note that in such cases the following applies:

  • Newly admitted students must successfully complete a minimum of 3 credit hours of required After-Degree B.Ed. coursework in the fall or winter term of the year of admission. That is, a leave of absence is not permitted in the first year.
  • The normal maximum time allowed for completion of the After-Degree B.Ed. program is six years from the date of admission.
  • Application to return for a practicum following a leave must be made by the deadline stated under “Application Deadline for School Placement” in the “Program Requirements” sections.
  • Any student returning to resume studies after a leave of absence is expected to conform to any new requirements that have been approved during their absence.
  • A student who is on a leave of absence is still considered to be within the After-Degree B.Ed. program and, therefore, cannot take courses at another post-secondary institution unless approved on a Letter of Permission (refer to the General Academic Regulations, Academic Evaluation).

Students considering part-time options should note that required After-Degree B.Ed. courses may not always be offered each term or each year (for example, Senior Years C & I in Physics is offered in alternate years). Therefore, students should consult with an Academic Advisor when considering part-time options.

Professional Unsuitability By-Law

The Senate of the University has approved a by-law granting authority to the Faculty of Education to require a student to withdraw from the Faculty for reasons of professional unsuitability. A student may be required to withdraw from the Faculty or may face other disciplinary action when, at any time, the Professional Unsuitability Committee has determined that the student is unsuited, on consideration of competence or professional fitness, for the practice of teaching.

Copies of this by-law may be obtained from the Faculty of Education website.

Repeating a Course

Limited Access will not affect registration for the current Academic Year, which includes Fall, Winter, and Summer terms. See University Policy and Procedures – Repeat Course Policy – Section 2.5 (a) Limited Access.

Required courses which receive a grade of “F” or “D” must be repeated. Education elective courses which receive a grade of “F” or “D” must be repeated or replaced with other Education elective courses. Courses which receive a “C” grade or higher may be repeated; but only with the consent of the Associate Dean, Undergraduate and Partnerships.

Education courses may only be repeated once. When a course is repeated, the last grade achieved will be used in calculating the DGPA.

Students admitted to the After-Degree B.Ed. program will be required to withdraw from the After-Degree B.Ed. program on academic grounds upon failure (receipt of a grade of "F") of any 2 (of the 4) required practicum courses.

Statute of Limitation

The normal maximum time allowed for the completion of the B.Ed. program is six years from the date of admission.

Supplemental Examinations

Bachelor of Education courses normally have unique start and end dates, voluntary withdrawal, and drop/delete dates. These dates can be found under "Important Dates" in the Aurora - Class Schedule.

Voluntary Withdrawals

Refer to the  General Academic Regulations.

Voluntary Withdrawal from Practicum Limit

All students admitted are permitted one voluntary withdrawal from each of the practicum courses.

Maximum Course Load

The maximum credit hour load for After-Degree B.Ed. students is 30 credit hours in the regular session (September-April). The following requests for exception will apply:

  • Requests to register for 33 credit hours, from students who are in good standing, do not need approval but the student must contact an Academic Advisor for assistance.
  • Requests to register for 36 credit hours are approved by an Academic Advisor provided the student’s minimum DGPA is 3.50.
  • Requests to register for 3 credit hours above the maximum load but where the student’s DGPA is below 2.50 are not permitted.
  • Requests to register for more than 36 credit hours must be submitted, in writing, to the Associate Dean, Undergraduate and Partnerships.
Transfer of Credit

Students may transfer a maximum of five full courses (30 credit hours) from another recognized university or college Professional Education program toward the After-Degree B.Ed. provided the courses are comparable and acceptable to the program, and they have not been applied to another degree program.

Students will not receive advance standing for any Education course which is more than six years old at the point of their admission to the Faculty of Education.

Those students who are currently in the program and wish to register for a course at another university or college must complete an application for “Letter of Permission” prior to registering. Further information can be found on the website.

Courses at the 5000-level cannot be transferred to the After-Degree B.Ed. program .

Students are encouraged to regularly refer to the website.

Continuing Students

Refer to Admissions.

Part-Time Students

Opportunities for part-time study are available in all After-Degree B.Ed. streams. Important things to note:

  • Students can begin part-time studies in the first year provided they successfully complete 3 credit hours of Education coursework from the Year 1 program requirements. Failure to do so will result in ineligibility to continue in program and require re-application and re-admission.
  • The Statue of Limitations policy (which can be found under the section "Academic Regulations of all After-Degree Bachelor of Education Programs" on this page) indicates the After-Degree B.Ed may take a maximum of 6 years to complete.
  • Part-time students should note that not all Curriculum and Instruction courses are offered every year.

Incompletes

See the chapter, General Academic Regulations and Requirements, Academic Evaluation. Students who are unable to complete the term work prescribed in a course may apply to the instructor prior to the end of term for consideration of a grade classification of 'incomplete.' It is understood that the student is to write the final examination if one is scheduled for the course.

Taking into account the results of the final examination, the value of the term work completed, and the extent of the incomplete term work, the instructor shall calculate the temporary grade using a zero value for incomplete work.

Normally, the following maximum extensions are allowed:

  • August 1 for courses terminated in April
  • December 1 for courses terminated in August
  • April 1 for courses terminated in December

If a final grade is not reported within one month of the extension deadline, the Incomplete (I) classification will be dropped and the grade will remain as awarded. The student will no longer have an opportunity to improve the grade. In no case will the satisfaction of the incomplete requirements result in a lower grade being awarded.

Maximum Time Limits/Statute of Limitations

The maximum time allowed for completing the PBDE is six1 years from the time of admission. In addition, a student will not be permitted to count toward the diploma any course completed more than six years prior to the time of admission.

Introduction

This chapter contains the regulations and requirements that apply to all students, regardless of faculty or school.

Each faculty and school has its own supplementary regulations and requirements. These are published in the faculty or school chapters of the Academic Calendar. Some faculties and schools also have additional regulations and requirements governing their programs; these are available from the faculty or school.

It is the responsibility of each student to be familiar with the academic regulations and requirements of the University of Manitoba in general and of the specific academic regulations and requirements of their faculty or school of registration. Accordingly, students are asked to seek the advice of advisors in faculty and school general offices whenever there is any question concerning how specific regulations apply to their situations.

Residence and Written English and Mathematics Requirements

Residence Requirements For Graduation

Each faculty and school recommends to the Senate the number of credit hours each student must complete in order to graduate from its programs. Senate also requires each student to complete a minimum number of credit hours at the University of Manitoba -- this is called the “residence requirement.”

Unless otherwise stated in faculty and school chapters, the minimum residence requirement of the University of Manitoba is the work normally associated with one year in the case of programs of three years’ duration, and two years for programs of four years’ duration. Some faculties and schools may have additional residence requirements specified in their program regulations. However, in all cases, the residence requirement is assessed following an appraisal of the educational record of the student applying to transfer credits from another institution or applying to earn credits elsewhere on a letter of permission. The residence requirement is not reduced for students whose “challenge for credit” results in a passing grade.

University English and Mathematics Requirements for Undergraduate Students

All students are required to complete, within the first 60 credit hours of their programs, a minimum of one three credit hour course with significant content in written English, and a minimum of one three credit hour course with significant content in mathematics.

Some degree programs have designated specific written English and mathematics courses to fulfil this requirement.

Price Faculty of Engineering have their own written English requirements.

Some degree programs require that the written English and/or mathematics requirements be completed prior to admission.

See the program descriptions in the faculty and school chapters of the Academic Calendar for details.

Exemptions to the Written English and Mathematics Requirement

  • All students with completed baccalaureate degrees and who transfer into any program to which these requirements apply.
  • Registered Nurses entering the Bachelor of Nursing Program for Registered Nurses.
  • Students admitted before the 1997-98 Regular Session.
  • Written English exemption only: Students transferring from Université de Saint-Boniface who have completed a written French requirement (at the university) before transferring to the University of Manitoba will be deemed to have met the written English requirement.

Approved English and Mathematics Courses

A complete list of all courses which satisfy the university written English and mathematics requirement is provided below. (When searching for courses in Aurora, students may search Course Attributes for courses that satisfy the written English and Mathematics requirements).

Note that some programs may restrict the choice of English or Mathematics courses. See the program descriptions in the faculty and school chapters of the Academic Calendar for details.

Course Identification

Credit Hours (Cr.Hrs.)

Each faculty and school develops courses for its degree credit programs, subject to Senate approval, and assigns a credit hour value to each course.

The credit hours for a course are expressed as a number associated with the course which indicates its relative weight. There is a correlation between class hours and credit hours (i.e. 6 credit hours = 3 hours a week, two terms; and 3 credit hours = 3 hours a week, one term).

For the purposes of registration, courses taught over both the Fall and Winter Terms have been divided into two parts. The credit hour value of the course are divided equally and applied to each part of the course. For example: for a six credit hour spanned course each of the Fall and Winter Term parts of the course will be assigned the value of three credit hours. Students registering for term spanning courses will receive one grade for the course and only when the second part is completed. The course grade will be applied to both the Fall and Winter parts of the course.

Prerequisite and Co-requisite Courses

Prerequisite: If a course is prerequisite for a second course, the prerequisite must be met in order to begin the second course. To determine whether or not a course has a prerequisite, see the course descriptions in the chapter of the faculty or school offering the course. Normally, a minimum grade of “C” is required in all courses listed as prerequisites, except as otherwise noted in the course descriptions.

For some courses, the prerequisite may be completed before registering for the second course or may be taken concurrently with the second course. To determine if a course may be taken concurrently, see the course descriptions in the chapter of the faculty or school offering the course.

Co-requisite: If a first course is a co-requisite for a second course, the first course must be completed in the same term as the second course. To determine if a course has a co-requisite, see the course descriptions in the chapter of the faculty or school offering the course.

Course Numbers

First Two to Four Characters

The two, three or four characters in every course number are a shortened version of the subject of the course.

Last Four Digits

At the University of Manitoba the last four digits of the course number reflect the level of contact with the subject.

For example:
ECON 1210

ECON is the code for Economics.

1210 indicates that it is an introductory or entry level course.

If the course requires a laboratory, this will be shown following the credit hours immediately following the title.
For example:
BIOL 3242 (lab required)

Courses numbered in the 1000 range are introductory. Most appear on the Recommended Introductory Course (RIC) List. 2000, 3000, and 4000 course numbers indicate second, third, and fourth levels of university study in a subject. These courses are at the Undergraduate (UG) level.

Courses numbered in the 5000 range are normally associated with pre-Master's work, courses in Post-Baccalaureate Diplomas, and Post-Graduate Medical Education programs. These courses are also at the Undergraduate (UG) level.

Courses numbered in the 6000 - 8000 range are courses of the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies. These courses are at the Graduate (GR) level.

Course numbers in the 9000 series are used to identify courses taken at the University of Winnipeg by students in the University of Manitoba/University of Winnipeg Joint Master’s Programs. The 9000 numbers do not indicate the level of the course taken (see Graduate Calendar or University of Winnipeg Calendar).

In most cases, some correlation exists between the course number and a student's year of study; that is, students in the third year of a program will generally carry course loads comprised primarily of 3000-level courses.

Other course numbering information

Courses with numbers that end in 0 or an even number are taught in English, most of which are offered on the Fort Garry or Bannatyne campuses or through Distance and Online Education.

Courses with numbers that end in odd numbers are taught in French at Université de Saint-Boniface.

Grades and Grade Point Average Calculation

Introduction

Final grades in most courses are expressed as letters, ranging from F, to A+ the highest. A grade of D is the lowest passing grade, however the minimum grade required to use a course as credit toward a degree or diploma program may be set higher by a faculty or school. Refer to faculty and school regulations. Each letter grade has an assigned numerical value which is used to calculate grade point averages.  Grading scales used to determine the final letter grade may vary between courses and programs.

Some courses are graded on a pass/fail basis and because no numerical value is assigned to these courses, they do not affect grade point averages. Courses graded in this way are clearly identified in course descriptions and program outlines.

The Letter Grade System

Letter Grade Grade Point Value Description
A+ 4.5 Exceptional
A 4.0 Excellent
B+ 3.5 Very Good
B 3.0 Good
C+ 2.5 Satisfactory
C 2.0 Adequate
D 1.0 Marginal
F 0 Failure
P Pass
S Standing

The grade of “D” is regarded as marginal in most courses by all faculties and schools. It contributes to decreasing a term, degree or cumulative Grade Point Average to less than 2.0. Courses graded “D” may be repeated for the purpose of improving a GPA. Note that some faculties and schools consider a grade of “D” as unacceptable and will not apply the course toward the program as credit. In most cases the course will need to be repeated to attain the acceptable grade. Refer to faculty and school regulations.

Calculation of Grade Point Average

The University of Manitoba will report cumulative and term grade point averages for all students through Aurora Student.
Please also refer to the Grade Point Averages Policy found in the University Policies and Procedures..

Quality Points

The quality points for a course are the product of the credit hours for the course and the grade point obtained by the student; e.g., 3 credit hours with a grade of “B” (3.0 points) = 3 credit hours x 3.0 = 9.0 quality points.

Quality Point Total

The quality point total is the sum of quality points accumulated as students proceed through their program of studies.

Grade Point Average (GPA)

The grade point average (GPA) is the quality point total divided by the total number of credit hours.

Example:

Course Credit Hours Grade Grade Points Quality Points
Course 1 3 B 3 9
Course 2 3 B+ 3.5 10.5
Course 3 3 C+ 2.5 7.5
Course 4 3 B 3 9
Course 5 3 A 4 12
Totals 15 48


Grade point average: 240 Quality Points / 15 Credit Hours = 3.20

Poor Grades and Program Progression

A course in which a “D” standing is obtained may need to be repeated by probationary students in certain faculties or where a minimum grade of “C” is required in a prerequisite subject or to meet degree requirements.

Students in doubt as to the status of their record should consult an advisor in their faculty or school.

For minimum grade levels, especially as they affect progression requirements, see the faculty or school regulations in the Academic Calendar or consult an advisor.

Academic Honours

Students qualify for the Honour List (Dean’s, Director’s, University 1) when they achieve qualifying grade point averages, as specified by the faculty/school or program regulations.

In addition, outstanding academic achievement will qualify students for other honours and awards.  These include:

  • the University Gold Medal, which is awarded at graduation in each faculty or school to the student with the most outstanding academic record;
  • program medals, which are awarded by faculties and schools to the best student graduating from a specific program;
  • graduation “with distinction”, which is recorded on the transcripts of all students who attain a qualifying grade point average;
  • and other medals and prizes that are specific to programs or disciplines.

Academic Evaluation

Methods of Evaluation

Students shall be informed of the method of evaluation to be used in each course, as specified in the Responsibilities of Academic Staff with Regard to Students Policy, found in the University Policies and Procedures.

In departments where a course is offered in more than one section, the department offering the course endeavours to provide instruction so that all sections cover similar topics and that all students achieve a similar level of competency in the topic. However, there will be differences in evaluation as well as in teaching style, readings and assignments from one section to another. Students may contact the department for additional information before registration.

Credit for Term Work

In subjects involving written examinations, laboratories, and term assignments, a student may be required to pass each component separately. If no final examination is scheduled in a course, the student’s final grade will be determined on the basis of the method of evaluation as announced in the first week of lectures.

If credit is not given for term work, the student’s final grade will be determined entirely by the results of the final written examination. Where the final grade is determined from the results of both term work and final examinations, the method of computing the final grade will be as announced within the first week of classes. Should a student write a deferred examination, term grades earned will normally be taken into account as set out in the immediately preceding paragraph.

Repeating a Course

A course in which a “D” standing is obtained may need to be repeated by probationary students in certain faculties or where a minimum grade of “C” is required in a prerequisite subject or to meet degree requirements.

Elective courses graded “F” may either be repeated or another elective substituted. All electives in a program must be approved by the faculty or school.

Probation and Academic Suspension

Failure to meet minimum levels of performance as specified in the regulations of the faculty or school will result in a student being placed either on probation or academic suspension in accordance with the faculty or school regulations.

A student’s status is determined, following final examinations, at the end of each term (Fall, Winter or Summer terms) or at the end of an academic session as specified in faculty regulations. A student placed on probation is advised to discuss his/her program prior to the next registration with a representative of the dean or director to determine which courses, if any, should be repeated.

A student placed on academic suspension will normally be permitted to apply for re-entry to the faculty or school after one year has elapsed, but reinstatement is not automatic and individual faculty or school regulations must always be consulted.

While on suspension, students are not normally admissible to another faculty or school.

Other Forms of Earning Degree Credit

Letter of Permission for Transfer of Credit

Students in degree programs at this university may take courses at other recognized colleges or universities for transfer of credit provided such courses are approved at least one month prior to the commencement of classes at the other institution by the faculty or school in which they are currently registered. The approval is subject to individual faculty/school regulations and is granted in the form of a Letter of Permission. The student must obtain a Letter of Permission whether or not the course/s being taken are for transfer of credit to the University of Manitoba. Failure to obtain a Letter of Permission may have serious academic implications.

To obtain a Letter of Permission, application must be made to the Registrar’s Office as early as possible and at least one month prior to when required at the other institution.

Each application must be accompanied by the appropriate fee. The fees are for each application and a separate application is required for each session and institution regardless of the number of courses being considered. Students planning to seek permission to take courses elsewhere for transfer of credit to the University of Manitoba are cautioned to check the current Academic Calendar for the residence and degree requirements of the degree programs in which they are enrolled.

Transferred courses will be given assigned credit hour values and grades. The transferred grade will be included in the student's degree and cumulative GPA.

Challenge for Credit

The purpose of Challenge for Credit is to provide students of the university with some means of obtaining academic credit in University of Manitoba courses (not otherwise obtainable as a transfer of credit from other institutions) for practical training and experience, or reading and study previously completed. Students who have registered to challenge would normally not attend classes or laboratories. Courses which have previously been taken at the University of Manitoba may not be challenged for credit.

To be eligible to challenge for credit a student must first be admitted to a faculty or school of the University of Manitoba. Eligible students will be required to demonstrate their competence in the courses which they are challenging for credit. Where formal, written examinations are required, these will be generally scheduled during the regular examination sessions in April/May, June, August, or December.

For information regarding requirements, procedures, applications and fees a student should contact the office of the faculty or school in which the student is enrolled, or in the case of new students, the faculty or school to which the new student has been admitted.

Application of Course Credit when transferring between Programs within the University of Manitoba

When students transfer into program from another faculty or school within the University of Manitoba, some course credits previously earned may be applied to the new program. The credit hour value assigned by the faculty or school that offers the course is used. That is, there can only be one credit weight designated for a course with a particular course number.

Academic Integrity

The University of Manitoba takes academic integrity seriously. Academic Integrity refers to the adherence and alignment with ethical and professional principles, standards, practices and guided by a consistent system of values including honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility, and courage that serves as the foundation for making decisions and taking actions in education, research, and scholarship.

To help students understand the expectations of the University of Manitoba, definitions for different types of prohibited behaviours are in the Student Academic Misconduct Procedure and provided below.

"Academic Integrity" refers to the adherence/alignment with ethical and professional principles, standards, practices and guided by a consistent system of values including honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility and courage that serves as the foundation for making decisions and taking actions in education, research, and scholarship.

"Academic Misconduct" is any action or attempted action that undermines Academic Integrity at the University and may result in an unfair academic advantage or disadvantage for any member of the academic community or wider society, including but not limited to:

(a) Plagiarism – the presentation or use of information, ideas, images, sentences, findings, etc. as one’s own without appropriate attribution in a written assignment, test or final examination.

(b) Cheating on Quizzes, Tests, or Final Examinations – the circumventing of fair testing procedures or contravention of exam regulations. Such acts may be premeditated/planned or may be unintentional or opportunistic.

(c) Inappropriate Collaboration – when a student and any other person work together on assignments, projects, tests, labs or other work unless authorized by the course instructor.

(d) Academic Fraud - falsification of data or official documents as well as the falsification of medical or compassionate circumstances/documentation to gain accommodations to complete assignments, tests, examinations or other evaluations of academic work

(e) Impersonation - writing an assignment, lab, test, or examination for another student, or the unauthorized use of another person's signature or identification in order to impersonate someone else. Impersonation includes both the impersonator and the person initiating the impersonation.

(f) Contract Cheating - the outsourcing of academic work to a third party to produce work in whole or in part, whether or not payment or favour is involved, and submitting it as one's own.

(g) Duplicate Submission – cheating where a student submits a paper/assignment/test in full or in part, for more than one course without the permission of the course instructor.

(h) Unauthorized Content Generation - the production of academic work in whole or part, for academic credit, progression or award, whether or not any payment or other benefit is involved, using not explicitly approved or undeclared technological assistance.

Note that the above applies to written, visual, and spatial assignments as well as oral presentations.

Over the course of your university studies, you may find yourself in situations that can make the application of these definitions unclear. The University of Manitoba wants to help you be successful, and this includes providing you with the knowledge and tools to support your decisions to act with integrity. There are a number of people and places on campus that will help you understand the rules and how they apply to your academic work. If you have questions or are uncertain about what is expected of you in your courses, you have several options:

  • Ask your professor, instructor, or teaching assistant for assistance or clarification.
  • Get support from the Academic Learning Centre or Libraries:
  • Visit the Academic Integrity site for information and tools to help you understand academic integrity.
  • Make an appointment with the Student Advocacy office. This office assists students to understand their rights and responsibilities and provides support to students who have received an allegation of academic misconduct.

Appeals of Grades

Appeal of Term Work

Students may formally appeal a grade received for term work provided that the matter has been discussed with the instructor in the first instance in an attempt to resolve the issue without the need of formal appeal. Term work grades normally may be appealed up to ten (10) working days after the grades for the term work have been made available to the student.

The fee which is charged for each appealed term work grade will be refunded for any grade which is changed as a result of the appeal.

Appeal of Final Grades

Final grades are not released to students who are on “Hold Status”; the deadline for appeal of assigned grades will not be extended for students who were unable to access their final grades due to a hold.

These regulations expand on the Final Grades Procedures found in the University Policies and Procedures.

Attendance and Withdrawal

Attendance at Class and Debarment

Regular attendance is expected of all students in all courses.

An instructor may initiate procedures to debar a student from attending classes and from final examinations and/or from receiving credit where unexcused absences exceed those permitted by the faculty or school regulations.

A student may be debarred from class, laboratories, and examinations by action of the dean/director for persistent non-attendance, failure to produce assignments to the satisfaction of the instructor, and/or unsafe clinical practice or practicum. Students so debarred will have failed that course.

Withdrawal from Courses and Programs

Voluntary Withdrawal

The registration revision period extends two weeks from the first day of classes in both Fall and Winter terms. Courses dropped during this period shall not be regarded as withdrawals and shall not be recorded on official transcripts or student histories. The revision period is prorated for Summer terms and for parts of term.

After the registration revision period ends, voluntary withdrawals (VWs) will be recorded on official transcripts and student histories.

The following dates are deadlines for voluntary withdrawals:

  • The Voluntary Withdrawal deadline shall be the 48th teaching day in both Fall and Winter term for those half-courses taught over the whole of each term;
  • The Voluntary Withdrawal deadline for full-courses taught over both Fall and Winter term shall be the 48th teaching day of the Winter term; and
  • The Voluntary Withdrawal deadline for full-and-half courses taught during Summer terms or during some other special schedule shall be calculated in a similar manner using a pro-rated number of teaching days.

The exact Voluntary Withdrawal dates that apply to courses offered in the current academic session are published in the Academic Schedule.

Authorized Withdrawal

Subject to the provision of satisfactory documentation to the faculty of registration, Authorized Withdrawals (AWs) may be permitted on medical or compassionate grounds.

Required Withdrawal from Professional Programs

Senate, at the request of some faculties and schools, has approved bylaws granting them the authority to require a student to withdraw on the basis of unsuitability for the practice of the profession to which the program of study leads.

This right may be exercised at any time throughout the academic year or following the results of examinations at the end of every year.

This right to require a student to withdraw prevails notwithstanding any other provisions in the academic regulations of the particular faculty or school regarding eligibility to proceed or repeat.

Where Senate has approved such a bylaw, that fact is indicated in the Academic Calendar chapter for that faculty or school. A copy of the professional unsuitability bylaw may be obtained from the general office of the faculty or school.

Deferred and Supplemental Examinations

These regulations expand on the Deferred and Supplemental Examinations Procedures found in the University Policies and Procedures.

Accepting Standing in Course without Examination

In the event that a student is unable to write a deferred examination as it has been scheduled, a grade may be assigned without examination (please refer to the Deferred and Supplemental Examinations Procedures). A student who accepts standing in a course without examination may not, at a later date, request permission to write a deferred examination in the course.

Supplemental Examinations

Supplemental Examinations are offered by some faculties to students who have not achieved the minimum result in required courses.

Students who are granted supplemental privileges are normally required to sit the examination within thirty (30) working days from the end of the examination series in which the supplemental grade was received, unless the progression rules of a faculty or school require the successful completion of an entire academic year before a student is eligible to proceed into the next. In this case, students are obliged to sit the examination at the next ensuing examination period.

Final Examinations

These regulations expand on the Final Examinations and Final Grades Policy and Procedures found in the University Policies and Procedures.

General Examination Regulations

Students (with the exception of students auditing courses) are required to write all final examinations. Those who absent themselves without an acceptable reason will receive a grade classification of “NP” (No Paper) accompanied by a letter grade based on term work completed, using a zero value for incomplete term work and for the final examination. If no credit for term work is involved, a grade of “F” will be assigned. Under certain conditions a student may apply for a deferred examination; see Deferred and Supplemental Examinations.

Examination Schedules

For most faculties, schools and colleges, final examinations are normally conducted in December for Fall Term courses; in April/May for Winter Term and Fall/Winter Term spanned courses; and in August for Distance and Online Education Summer Term courses. Exact dates for the exam period can be found in the Academic Schedule.

The Schedule of Final Exams for Fall and Winter is made available by the Registrar’s Office approximately one month after the beginning of the term. This schedule is made available on the Registrar’s Office Website and includes finalized dates and times for each exam.  Exam locations are added to the schedule at a later date. Summer Term courses, final exam details will be made available 1 – 2 weeks before the posted exam period.

Students must remain available until all examination and test obligations have been fulfilled.  Travel plans are not an acceptable reason for missing an exam.

Examination Personations

A student who arranges for another individual to undertake or write any nature of examination for and on his/her behalf, as well as the individual who undertakes or writes the examination, will be subject to discipline under the university’s Student Discipline Bylaw, which could lead to suspension or expulsion from the university. In addition, the Canadian Criminal Code treats the personation of a candidate at a competitive or qualifying examination held at a university as an offence punishable by summary conviction.

Hold Status

More details about being on Hold can be found online on the Registrar's Office website.

Students will be placed on "Hold Status" if they incur any type of outstanding obligation (either financial or otherwise) to the university or its associated faculties, schools, colleges or administrative units.

Some typical reasons for holds are:

  • Program/course selection must be approved
  • U1 student must transit into the Faculty of Arts or Science
  • Required Major, Minor and/or Concentration declaration
  • Transcripts or documents required from other institutions
  • Unpaid tuition and/or other university fees
  • Outstanding library books and/or fines
  • Parking fines
  • Pending disciplinary action

Depending on the reason for the hold, limited or no administrative or academic services will be provided to students on Hold Status until the specific obligations have been met.

Students must clear their holds prior to registration by contacting the appropriate office.  Students with outstanding financial obligations to the university will not be permitted to register again until the hold has been cleared or permission to register has been obtained from the Office of the Vice-President (Administration).

Advisor and Program Holds

Students enroled in some programs are required to discuss their course selections and program status with an advisor prior to registration. Advisor and Program Holds normally only restrict registration activity; other administrative services remain available.

Students can verify whether their program requires consultation with an advisor by checking their faculty/school section of the Academic Calendar, or by viewing their Registration Time and Status in Aurora.

Graduation and Convocation

Graduation

Students may graduate from the University of Manitoba at the end of the following terms: Winter (May/June graduation date), Summer (October graduation date), and Fall (February graduation date). Convocation ceremonies are held in May/June and October only. Students who graduate at the end of Fall term are welcome to attend the May/June ceremonies.

Students are eligible to graduate when they have completed all requirements for their degree program in accordance with the regulations described in the section General Academic Regulations and the regulations available from the advising offices of their faculties, colleges, or schools.

It is the responsibility of each student to be familiar with the graduation requirements of the program in which they are enrolled. Consultation with academic advisors is strongly recommended to ensure that graduation requirements are met.

Please refer to the Registrar’s Office website for Frequently asked Questions about Graduation and Convocation.

Every candidate for a degree, diploma or certificate must make formal application at the beginning for the Term in which they expect to complete graduation requirements. Application is made through the Aurora Student Information System.

Candidates who need to change their graduation date after they have made a graduation declaration, must contact the advising office of their faculty, college, or school as soon as possible.

After graduation has been declared, candidates will be sent a series of emails to their email account, requesting verifications of full legal name, degree sought and plans for attendance at Convocation ceremonies. It is imperative that you activate your University of Manitoba email account and check it regularly.

Convocation

Convocation ceremonies are held in May/June and October of each year. February graduates are invited to attend the May/June ceremonies.

Graduating students are encouraged to attend with their families and friends because it is the one ceremonial occasion that marks the successful conclusion of their program of studies.

Graduates who wish to attend Convocation, verify their attendance at the Convocation ceremony by reserving their academic attire through the University approved supplier.

Graduates who, for any reason, do not attend Convocation will receive their degrees in absentia.

The Registrar’s Office will hold unclaimed parchments for a maximum of twelve months after graduation when any unclaimed parchments will be destroyed. These will include those not given at Convocation, those that were to be picked up in person but not claimed, those that were mailed but returned to the Registrar’s Office by the postal outlet or courier depot, those that were not issued due to a financial hold on a student’s records, and those that were reprinted immediately after convocation due to corrections.

It is critical that you update your address, phone number, and email through Aurora whenever changes occur. Note that any changes made with the Alumni Association are not reflected in your University of Manitoba student records.

If you do not receive your parchment, it is your responsibility to follow up with the Registrar’s Office within a twelve-month period. Any requests for parchments after this time will be processed as replacements; there is a fee charged for replacement parchments.

Academic Dress

Students are responsible for making arrangements to reserve their academic attire through the University approved supplier. Rental fees apply. Details will be provided via e-mail once Convocation planning begins.

Convocation Information

Information on Convocation may be found on the Graduation/Convocation website.

Personal Information

Mailing Address

In order to receive University mail, it is essential that you to provide the Registrar’s Office with your current address. All mail will be directed to the address you provide. You may change your mailing address and phone number by accessing Aurora Student and then selecting Personal Information.

Change of Name

If you have changed your name since you were first admitted or if the name on your record is incomplete or inaccurate, official evidence of the name change or correction must be submitted to the Registrar’s Office along with a completed Request for Change of Name form. The University of Manitoba uses your full legal name on its records, transcripts, and graduation documents (a full legal name, for example, includes all names on your birth certificate - first, middle, and last - or on your study permit). Abbreviated names, Anglicized names, or initials should not be used unless they have been proven with appropriate documentation.
