PROGRAM INFORMATION:
UNDERGRADUATE
PROGRAMS
UMANITOBA.CA/ADMISSIONS
6
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.
UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS
Admission to undergraduate programs is divided into two
categories: direct entry and advanced entry.
Direct Entry
Students 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.
COUNSELLOR HANDBOOK 2015
/ UNIVERSITY OF MANITOBA
Advanced Entry
After 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.

/ UNIVERSITY OF MANITOBA
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.
COUNSELLOR HANDBOOK 2015
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.
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
AREAS OF STUDY
U1’s unique approach allows
students to study multiple
subject areas, from science
and engineering to arts,
languages and business.
AFTER U1
Upon completion of U1,
students will be further
prepared to advance into the
program of their choice.

NEW ONLINE AWARDS DATABASE
In 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 Senateapproved 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.

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.

accommodation for approximately
forty students, male and female, enrolled
in its programs as well as those of the

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.

Orthodox College on the campus
of a major university.

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.
Leadership Development and Volunteering
Special Events
We believe leadership skills can be
learned and that is why we offer many
programs for students to develop as
leaders. 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.
Student Life provides special events
throughout the year to help students
be inspired, meet new people, and have
fun. Join us for the Annual Pep Rally,
the Leadership Speaker Series or
Dream Big week.
We also have the University of Manitoba
Student Volunteer Program made up of
500+ dedicated volunteers. These
students help out at all campus-wide
events including fall Orientation,
Convocation, and Info Days. UMVP
provides a great way for new students to
get involved on campus.
Student Recognition
The Co-Curricular Record is an official
record of university-approved and
facilitated activities that support student
development in venues that are not for
academic credit. Existing as a document
that is separate from the Academic
Transcript, the CCR is a clear statement
of involvement in activities that support
holistic development.
Student Support
We also help to coordinate the Chaplains’
Association (the spiritual side of a student’s
holistic development) and the Peers –
Students Helping Students program
(a free peer-to-peer support service
available to all students.)

FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTIONS
UMANITOBA.CA
34
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.
COUNSELLOR HANDBOOK 2015
/ UNIVERSITY OF MANITOBA
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 facultyspecific sessions and "mini-lectures"
targeted towards high school age
prospective students.
