Late this past Friday afternoon Winnipeg Police Service announced the
arrest
of two high school students on charges of conspiracy to commit murder.
According to police, the two 17-year-olds had planned to target a
number of
public institutions, including two high schools, a local church and the
University of Manitoba. Police have informed the University that the
male
and female teens were the sole individuals involved in the alleged
plan, and
that there was and is no risk to the University of Manitoba community as
both individuals remain in custody. Winnipeg Police Service continues to
work on the case and liaise directly with the University.
The University of Manitoba takes this opportunity to remind our
community
that there are emergency notification procedures in place, including
annunciator phones in classrooms, an emergency web site and text/phone
messaging to students and staff. If you receive an emergency message
via any
of these means, please follow the instructions provided.
If you have not yet registered your cell phone/ non-university phone
number, you may do so by logging into JUMP.

Happy New Year
Here's some friendly reminders to start off 2009 ..
Fee Payment for Winter Term Courses
Deadline for payment of Winter Term fees is Thursday January 8, 2009.
. Click
<http://umanitoba.ca/admin/financial_services/revcap/StudentAccounts.htm>
here for information on methods of fee payment.
. Check your fee balance on Aurora Student. If you have questions or
concerns about your student account, call the Registrar's Office at 474-9420
or drop in to Room 400 University Centre during business hours (8:30 - 4:30
Monday to Friday).
Grades
. Grades are available in Aurora Student as they are submitted by
instructors. Log in to Aurora Student, select Enrolment & Academic Records >
Student Records > View Final Grades.
Registration Changes
. Changes to your Winter Term registration are made through Aurora
Student. The deadline for registration revisions for Winter Term is Monday,
January 19.
. Note that January 19 is also the last day to VW a Fall/Winter
spanned course (full year course) without being held responsible for the
Winter Term portion of tuition fees. You are responsible for fees for any
course in which you are registered after January 19.
Note: the deadline to receive a 50% refund for a Winter Term course is
February 2.
. If you know you did not achieve the grade needed in a Fall Term
course that is prerequisite to a Winter Term course, drop the Winter Term
course as soon as you know your status. The space you give up will be then
available to another student and this will free up time in your schedule to
add another course before it fills up.

Aurora Student. The deadline to declare your intent to graduate through
Aurora Student is January 31 for May 2009 graduation.
