• Leadership Seminar series – throughout the year, you can take part in numerous leadership development workshops and volunteer opportunities aimed at helping you discover and nurture the leader within.

• Service Learning projects – why not put your leadership and desire to give back to your community to work? These projects will connect you with programs and organizations in the community that need your help.

Imagine spending your time out of class designing, constructing and test-driving a Baja cart with your peers.Now imagine competing against other teams from across Canada and around the world – and winning. That is exactly what U of M engineering students have been doing for over a decade.

Our scientists know the value of sharing their research. The University of Manitoba offers students more opportunities to get involved in this leading-edge work. You don’t need to wait until you’ve completed your undergraduate degree, either. You’ll find there are numerous opportunities to work alongside our award-winning professors and researchers throughout your degree.

As a part of UMSAE, The University of Manitoba Society of Automotive Engineers, students have the chance to work on one of five different teams that each focuses on a different class of carts: the Baja, the Formula, the Formula Hybrid, the Aero Design or the Micro-Aero Design.

University of Manitoba students ranked in the top 12 out of 100 teams competing from around the world for the 2010 SAE Baja Competition. The Baja Cart Team Leader, Gordon Templeton, 5th year Engineering student, is happy to announce that the 2010 cart was 10lbs lighter and placed 7th for overall design!

Get Your Hands DirtyAs a recipient of the NSERC Undergraduate Student Research Award, Alison Murata had the opportunity to work on current research in the field of soil erosion and wetland hydrology. A component of the co-op position required that she assist with stream bank sampling along the South Tobacco Creek (on the Manitoba Escarpment) while other responsibilities took her to Brandon to measure electrical conductivity of water taken from wetlands at the Manitoba Zero-Tillage Research Association (MZTRA) farm.

Alison, an Environmental Science Honours student, has also published her research findings in a poster and will present it at the 2010 Manitoba Soil Science Society conference.

True or False ?“Co-opsoundsgreat,butIheartheprograms are really tough to get into.” False. Many co-op programs have more positions available than students to fill them.

“Why bother? I hear co-op students don’t even get paid minimum wage.” Sorry, wrong again. In fact, co-op programs pay well over the minimum wage. They also help students improve their resumes and provide ready-made business contacts when they begin their job search.

“Aren’t co-op placements just ‘make work’ projects that don’t really challenge students or allow them to practice their skills?” Wrong again. Students involved in co-op programs are working on the front lines of their discipline. Many are working as research assistants or in the field on cutting-edge projects related to their area of study.

“Won’t doing a co-op or internship placement just add time to my degree? It’s true that time will be added but so will work experience on your resume – think long term!

Step 7Submit Transcripts and DocumentsHigh schools in Manitoba and northwest Ontario will automatically submit mid-term and final tran scripts for those current high school students who have submitted their university applications before May. The required documentation for each program and student type is outlined in both the on-line and paper applications. Although applicants will be notified of their specific required documents, they are encouraged to send these documents with their application or shortly thereafter in an effort to avoid missing document deadlines. Documentation required may include: official high school transcripts, previous college and/or university transcripts, immigration documents (for Permanent Residents or Canadian Citizens born outside of Canada), proof of name change (e.g., marriage certificate), and proof of age for all mature status appli cants (birth certificate, passport or other government-issued identification containing a photograph accepted). Scans, faxes and photocopies will not be accepted. Original documents such as a marriage certificate or birth certificate will be returned, however transcripts and other academic documents become the property of the university. To accelerate the application process, students from outside of Manitoba and northwest Ontario who are currently in high school (or equivalent) are encouraged to submit their mid-term grades as soon as they become available pending the submission of their official high school tran scripts.

Once you have applied, what’s next? • Receive an Acknowledgement Email – This email is

generated automatically as soon as your application and application fee have been logged into the applicant database.

• Receive an Acknowledgement Letter – This letter will include both a student number and an application number as well as a listing of required documentation (see above).

• Receive a Notification Letter – Notification letters informing students as to whether or not they have been accepted are mailed to applicants when all required marks and documentation have been received and assessed by the Admissions Office. Current high school students who do not qualify based on their first term final marks and second term mid-term marks will be reassessed when the Admissions Office receives their second term final marks.

Step 2 Choose a Faculty, School or Program – page 53

Step 3 Review Program Requirements Manitoba applicants – page 54 Out of Province applicants – page 55 International applicants – page 51 (A) Determine the need for upgrading The University of Manitoba offers upgrading courses for students who do not have the necessary prerequisites. Upgrading courses include: Math Skills (Extended Education), Preparatory Chemistry, Preparatory Physics and Biology (Faculty of Science).(B) Assess AP and IB high school classes for university credit – page 58

Step 4 Confirm English Requirements – page 57Students whose primary language is not English or whose previous education has been conducted in another language may need to demonstrate English proficiency.

Step 5 Check Admission and Scholarship Deadlines – pages 59 and 60Application deadlines vary with each faculty, school or program. Direct Entry programs also have application deadlines associated with academic scholarships.

Step 6 Apply for Admission and/or Residence (all programs)Students can apply to the University of Manitoba online at umanitoba.ca/applynow or by using the downloadable forms available through that website. Processing time is faster for on-line applications. Residence applications are separate from program applications and not dependant on university admission. Students are encouraged to apply early. Students can apply on-line or download application forms at umanitoba.ca/student/housing

Applications Steps for Undergraduate Students – International ApplicantsAny student who does not hold Canadian Citizenship or Permanent Resident (Landed Immigrant) status is considered an international student. However, Canadian Citizens/Permanent Residents who are currently residing outside of Canada or who are applying on the basis of academic credentials completed outside of Canada will be required to complete the necessary academic requirements specified for their country of education. Information about international student admission and a listing of entrance requirements by country of education is available at umanitoba.ca/student/admissions/international.

Step 8Apply for a Study PermitIn order to study in Canada, all international students are required to obtain a study permit. Students are responsible for all aspects of their application and for ensuring that they comply with the conditions of their study permit. For students arriving from the USA: Study permits can be issued at any Canadian port of entry when the following documents are provided: identification, proof of sufficient funds and a Certificate of Acceptance from the University of Manitoba.IMPORTANT: For international students arriving from countries other than the USA: Depending on the country, you may be required to apply for, and produce an approved Temporary Resident Visa before a study permit can be issued. For more information, consult: www.cic.gc.ca/ENGLISH/visit/visas.aspIndividuals with visitor visas are responsible for contacting Citizen and Immigration Canada (CIC) to change their visa to a study permit. International students already studying at an institution in Canada must also contact CIC to renew the terms and conditions of their study permit.Details for obtaining a study permit are available at www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/index.asp

Once you have applied, what’s next? The next steps will be similar to those outlined on the previous page. Please note, international students are required to pay an International Differential Fee based on the total tuition fees for Canadian/Permanent Residents. Under the Manitoba/Minnesota Reciprocity Agreement, residents of Minnesota, USA, are exempt from this surcharge and will be permitted to pay the same fees as Canadian Citizens/Permanent residents for application and tuition. These students must complete the following form with appropriate documentation: umanitoba.ca/student/admissions/international/usa

Follow Step and Step 2 from the previous page

Step 3Program Requirements (please review 3A from previous page) All international applicants must meet both the General Entrance Requirements and Specific Subject and Performance Requirements for their country of education and program of application, plus the specific faculty requirements for the faculty or school for which they are applying, including any specified minimum level of performance and/or evidence of professional suitability. All programs except Dental Hygiene, Dentistry, Medical Rehabilitation, Medicine and Pharmacy will accept applications from international students (admission may be competitive). Also note that although you must fulfill these requirements to be considered for admission, meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission.Note: Applicants from the United States will be required to meet the entrance requirements as stated above, however SAT scores or ACT scores may be used for advenced early admission.

Follow Steps 4 through 6 from the previous page

Step 7Submit Transcripts and DocumentsPlease read Step 7 on the previous page. In addition, students submitting documents in a foreign language must also have their transcripts translated and notarized.

What is my Student Type? umanitoba.ca/admissions/requirements

High School StudentsStudents applying to the University of Manitoba based on high school courses are considered high school applicants. Direct Entry programs are the only programs available to high school applicants.

Mature Status StudentsMature student status is intended for students who do not meet their high school or transfer student requirements. You can apply as a mature status student if you meet the following conditions: • you do NOT meet the high school requirements • you are at least 21 years of age • you are a Canadian Citizen or a Permanent Resident • you have never previously attended university or college OR

have completed less than 24 credit hours (four full courses) As a mature status student, you may apply to any one of the Direct Entry programs (except for the School of Art degree program). If you are interested in one of our Advanced Entry programs, please apply to University 1 to complete the required first year courses.1. It is recommended that mature status student applicants

submit any previous Grade 12 transcripts that may include specific subjects in math, biology, chemistry and physics; otherwise, upgrading may be required in these areas.

2. Mature status students must also fulfill any required performance requirements that may be required such as the Fine Arts portfolio.

3. Mature applicants to Engineering require a minimum of 60% in each of Pre-Calculus Mathematics 40S, Chemistry 40S and Physics 40S (or the equivalent from other provinces/countries or previous upgrading in these areas) plus a minimum 85% average over these three subjects.

Special StudentsYou may apply as a special student if you wish to enrol in degree credit courses, but are not interested in pursuing a degree. Courses completed may subsequently be accepted as credit towards a degree, diploma or certificate. Special Students usually enter General Studies (Extended Education).

VisitingStudentsStudents registered at another post-secondary institution who would like to complete courses at the University of Manitoba and have the credits transferred to their home institution will be considered as visiting students. Most visiting students apply to General Studies (Extended Education). A letter of permission from the home institution listing the specific course(s) is required.

Auditing StudentsIf you wish to attend lectures for a particular course but do not want to complete the assignments or write the exams and, therefore, not receive a grade or any credit hours upon completion of the course, you can apply for admission as an auditing student. Auditing students should apply to General Studies (Extended Education) for admission. Auditing students will be charged one half of the course fee. Written permission is required from the course instructor prior to application.

Re-admission,ContinuingandReturningStudentsAll students who were admitted and who did not follow through with registration must apply to the Admissions Office for re-admission. Former students who have attended other institutions since their last registration at the University of Manitoba must apply to the Admissions Office for re-admission, unless the other institution was attended on a letter of permission. Students returning to their previous faculty after an absence of a year or more should check with the Dean’s office for permission to re-register.

Transfer StudentsStudents who are in good academic standing and have completed a minimum of 24 equivalent credit hours (four full-year courses) at a prior university or college recognized by the University of Manitoba will be considered as transfer students. Students with less than 24 equivalent credit hours will still be assessed for advanced standing or transfer credit, but will be considered for admission as a high school student or mature status student.Students may receive up to two years or 60 credit hours (ten full-year courses) of transfer credit, depending on the faculty of admission and their regulations regarding advanced standing and/or transfer credit. Most faculties restrict transfer credit to coursework completed within the last ten years. All transfer students should review program requirements prior to application and compare previous university level work with the admission requirements listed in the program application package, umanitoba.ca/applynow or in the General Calendar, umanitoba.ca/calendar

AdvancedStandingandTransferCreditEvaluationThe evaluation of prior coursework to fulfill admission requirements or advanced standing/transfer credit is part of the application for admission process. Courses are evaluated on a course by course basis by the appropriate teaching unit on campus. Detailed course outlines should be submitted for all previously attempted university or college coursework. These outlines, as issued by your prior institution, are subject to verification. If the course information is from an on-line source, please ensure the web address is also included.

Course information should include the following: • a statement of the course objectives• an outline of the units studied in the course• name of textbook(s) and/or bibliographies used• length of course and/or credit hours • information should also be included for any lab

component of a courseTo accelerate the external course assessment process, especially for students studying outside the province or country, the submission of detailed course outlines/syllabi at the point of application is recommended. Course material sent separately from the application should include your University of Manitoba applicant or student number and faculty of application. Since educational systems vary from country to country, some international students will require a year or more of equivalent university coursework to enter a Direct Entry program. International applicants should review the list of general requirements by country to determine if the university work completed is considered as the basis of admission or if completion of high school is sufficient. Details are available at umanitoba.ca/student/admissions/international

52

Undergraduate Programsumanitoba.ca/admissions/programs

Admission to undergraduate programs is divided into two categories: Direct Entry and Advanced Entry.

Faculties Requiring Two or More Years of UniversityStudyDentistry, Law and the Education/Music integrated program require two years of pre-professional studies to qualify for admission. Education and Medicine require a completed degree before entry. Like the post-University 1 programs, the following faculties will have academic and non-academic requirements and will use a selection process to choose the best qualified students: Architecture Master’s Preparation Program Education (After Degree Program) Education (Music Integrated Program)

For application information on Advanced Entry certificate, diploma and other programs, refer to page 61.

CitizenshipandResidencyProgramRequirementsThe University of Manitoba welcomes international and out-of-province students and recognizes the value of a diverse student population. However, as a provincial university, its first responsibility is the provision of education for residents of the Province of Manitoba who are Canadian Citizens/Permanent Residents; therefore, admission of international or out-of-province students to some faculties/schools may be limited.OPEN – All qualified applicants including international and out-of-province students will be considered for the following programs: Agricultural and Food Sciences, Arts, General Studies (Extended Education), Clayton H. Riddell Faculty of Environment, Earth, and Resources, Science, and University 1.LIMITED – The following programs have limited student quotas and some have specific limitations with respect to international students. As such, the best qualified appropriate applicants from the applicant pool will be admitted: Architecture, Asper School of Business, Education, Engineering, Fine Arts, Human Ecology, Kinesiology and Recreation Management, Law, Marcel A. Desautels Faculty of Music, Nursing and Social Work.RESIDENT PRIORITY – No international students are considered for Dental Hygiene, Dentistry1, Medical Rehabilitation, Medicine and Pharmacy. Priority for Dentistry, Medical Rehabilitation, Medicine and Pharmacy is given to Canadian Citizens/Permanent Residents who are residents of Manitoba2 or who have completed prerequisite coursework in Manitoba.

DIRECTENTRY(applyfromhighschool)Students entering directly from high school (or equivalent) choose a “Direct Entry” faculty. With the exception of University 1, these programs are also open to students transferring from other faculties, universities or colleges. University 1 will only consider transferring students who have completed less than 24 hours of coursework. In some cases, a person can apply as a mature status student without high school graduation (see page 52). For most students, studies at the University of Manitoba will begin in University 1. Below is a list of direct entry programs: University 1 Agriculture Diploma Engineering Fine Arts (diploma and studio degree programs) General Studies (Extended Education) Marcel A. Desautels Faculty of Music

ADVANCEDENTRY(applyafterUniversity1)Every program that admits from University 1 (or with the equivalent amount of work completed in another faculty or at another university) will have certain criteria that must be met to be considered for admission. These criteria are described in full in the Applicant Information Bulletins which are available from the Admissions Office website at umanitoba.ca/applynow (the University 1 StartBook, umanitoba.ca/U1/startbook, provides a general overview of the criteria but students should also reference the Bulletins for complete details). They may include academic criteria (e.g., certain minimum number of courses that must be completed, specific required courses, minimum grades in specific courses, minimum overall or adjusted averages, etc.) or non-academic criteria (e.g., references, an interview, relevant background information, etc.). When it is not possible to offer admission to all eligible applicants, the faculty will have a selection or admissions committee which will choose the best qualified students, using a process that is described in the Applicant Information Bulletin.
