GUMBO While farmers might not have much use for the gooey and unforgiving Manitoba Gumbo clay, art student Gail Matheson is researching creative ways to incorporate it into her art.

“I coat cotton forms with liquid clay to create ceramic vessels. An important part of my research involves experimenting with clay formulas and finding ways to use local “Manitoba Gumbo” in my clay body.”– Gail Matheson,

ceramics student, School of Art

SUPER SATELLITESImagine developing and launching a satellite weighing less than one kilogram that could potentially detect the onset of earthquakes. That’s what the undergraduate engineering students are doing in the WinCube Satellite Project. Slightly larger than a Rubik’s cube, the satellite will be launched into low orbit and communicate from about 700 kilometres away.

“Working on the WinCube team is a truly remarkable experience. The students have control over the direction of the project. There is no experience like working on a space-ready satellite. WinCube is much more than the application of the material learned in class; it is an opportunity to pursue my dreams as an undergraduate student.”– Dario Schor,

electrical & computer engineering student

SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT, INSPIRINGEXCELLENCEThe University of Manitoba attracts the best and brightest faculty from around the country and around the world.

Our professors are recognized for their high-calibre teaching skills – something you’ll notice every time you step into the classroom. They live and breathe what they teach and are eager to share their enthusiasm, knowledge and talents with you. Our professors will challenge you to think in different ways, see the

world through more discerning eyes and help you develop your own passions, skills and abilities. Combine your sharp, inquisitive mind with our dedicated and committed faculty and you create a dynamic learning experience which is second to none.

“Dr. Vanessa Warne is an exceptional professor. Her lectures are engrossing, often funny, and always thought provoking. I think her greatest strength is that she encourages original thought and forces students to think for themselves. She makes them realize that they are an active part of their own education and helps guide them on their way. On top of all this she is very friendly, takes a sincere interest in individual students, and is always there to help.” – Maria Derzko, student, Faculty of Arts on

Dr. Vanessa Warne, professor, department of English and winner of two Teaching Excellence awards at the University of Manitoba

It’s the commitment to teaching and learning that sets the University of Manitoba apart from other institutions.

“My faculty is absolutely amazing! The faculty members are great and the classes are small so they are intimate and welcoming. I have the chance to develop professional relationships with my professors who are always willing to help. There are chances for research, and to be involved with the faculty.”– Josh Lockhart, student,

Faculty of Human Ecology

Dr. Frank Hawthorne is one of the world’s most influential rock stars. Drilling kilometers into the earth, the geoscientist examines the chemical and structural foundations of minerals. His work is leading the way in the development of safer ways to dispose of nuclear waste. He even has a mineral named after him. Dr. Hawthorne is just one of the celebrated professors teaching at the University of Manitoba. As a student, wouldn’t you want to be learning from someone like this?

How about learning alongside a Grammy Award winner? A number of years ago, classical music sextet Eighth Blackbird commissioned Dr. Gordon Fitzell to write some music for them. Fast forward to 2008 and Dr. Fitzell – a music theory and composition professor in the Marcel A. Desautels Faculty of Music – can now proudly call himself a Grammy Award winner. Two of his works were featured on an Eighth Blackbird recording honoured with the prestigious award.

CO-OPERATIVE AND INTERNSHIP PROGRAMS

15

Co-op has allowed me to explore career options, choose a specialization and with

each subsequent work term, I have taken on higher level responsibilities, developed my professional

competencies and been able to contribute to my employer’s place of business.

– Kathryn Patrick, Co-op student,Asper School of Business

The co-op and internship programs at the University of Manitoba are so successful that our students are being recognized nationally for their work. Robert Beattie, a microbiology student, was named the 2008 Co-operative Education Manitoba Student of the Year and received an honourable mention in the national Co-op Student of the Year award competition sponsored by the Canadian Association for Co-operative Education (CAFCE). Beattie did his co-op placement at the Max Planck Institute for Immunobiology in Freiburg, Germany.

True or False ? “Co-op sounds great, but I hear the

programs 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!

Submit 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 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.

• Apply for Student Loan (optional) – page 60• Complete Pre-Registration Sessions – only required

in certain programs• Register for Classes Using the Aurora Student Web

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 9Apply 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 of 180% 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 early admission.

Follow Steps 4 through 6 from the previous page

Step 7Pre-Order Courier Service for International DeliveryAll letters from the Admissions Office, including Certificates of Acceptance, are sent by regular postal services unless courier services have been pre-ordered. If you are living outside of North America, we recommend that you pre-order courier services by completing the Courier Service Order Form available on our website.

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 meant only 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).

Visiting StudentsStudents 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.

Readmission, Continuing and Returning Students All students who were admitted and who did not follow through with registration must apply to the Admissions Office for readmission. Former students who have attended other institutions since their last registration at the University of Manitoba must apply to the Admissions Office for readmission, 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

Advanced Standing and Transfer Credit EvaluationThe 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

Citizenship and Residency Program RequirementsThe 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. Preference may be given to residents of Manitoba for positions in Dental Hygiene. 1 Consideration is given to graduates of an international dentist program applying

to the International Dentist Degree Program.

2 Manitoba residency requirements differ for each program in this category. For more information, refer to the program application form at umanitoba.ca/applynow

DIRECT ENTRy (apply from high school)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

ADVANCED ENTRy (apply after University 1)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.

There is no maximum number of allowable credits for AP or IB credits, and credits may be used to fulfill University of Manitoba entrance requirements.

Assigned Grades Students will be assigned grades on their University of Manitoba records for their AP and IB examination results. Grades will be assigned on the following scale: Exam result University grade

AP 3 and less no credit AP 4 B AP 5 A AP exam 5 and 95% in course A+ IB 3 and less no credit IB 4 B IB 5 B+ IB 6 A IB 7 A+

IB DiplomaHolders of the IB Diploma Programme are acknowledged as holding the equivalent of Manitoba high school graduation standing for purposes of admission. This recognition is significant only to IB graduates of provinces outside of Manitoba or countries who do not hold any other provincial or national qualification. To qualify for admission, an IB Diploma Programme holder must present three courses at the higher level and three courses at the standard level; a minimum in each subject of four with an overall minimum score of 24.Manitoba students registered in the IB Diploma Programme also complete the Manitoba high school program, and as a result, students may receive individual credit for IB Diploma Programme coursework.

How to apply for advanced credit:1. Ensure an official copy of your results is forwarded to

the University of Manitoba.2. For AP results, this is accomplished by designating the

University of Manitoba on the Master Identification Answer Sheet or the College Information Card, or by making a subsequent transcript request to the College Board. For IB results, this is accomplished by requesting the IBO to forward a copy of your results to the Admissions Office at the University of Manitoba.

3. Complete and submit the form entitled Request for University Credit for Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate Results from the University of Manitoba or umanitoba.ca/student/admissions/media/ apib_requestform.pdf

Note: Since acceptance of AP or IB credit is not compulsory, you must indicate your intention to claim credit by submitting the completed form to Admissions.

AP and IB Notes:1. Transfer credit for AP and IB courses is reviewed on a regular basis and is subject to change. 2. Students with IB or AP examinations that do not appear on these lists may request that these

courses be reviewed for transfer credit. The faculties and schools of the University of Manitoba will be reviewing their policies on AP and IB credits to determine how these credits might be used to meet the requirements. When students claim their AP or IB credits they should verify the regulations applicable to their faculty/school of interest with the Enrolment Services (Admissions) or the University 1 Student Help Centre, and should take these regulations into account when registering for their university programs.

3. The number in brackets following the University of Manitoba course number is the credit hours assigned to that course. A full course is six credit hours, a half course is three hours.

4. Credit given for AP or IB in Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry and Physics includes credit for the university lab component.

5. The Mathematics Department will continue to allow select students to challenge for credit Vector Geometry and Linear Algebra MATH 1300 (3).
