>From The University of Manitoba Financial Aid and Awards Office.
Effective August 2011, we will be moving away from a paper-based bursary
application to a fully integrated ON-LINE application process! (The 2010/11
application was available on-line but had to be printed off before
completion while the new application can be completed and submitted
on-line.)
The new on-line application will become available in late August. Please
check the Financial Aid & Awards website throughout the summer for updates.
http://umanitoba.ca/student/fin_awards/
Basic bursary criteria:
* All students must complete courses in both fall & winter terms to be
eligible.
* In most cases, students must register for and complete at least 60
percent of a full course-load per term (i.e., a minimum of 9 credit hours
per term). Graduate students do not have to adhere to credit hour minimums
but must be registered as full-time students with the Faculty of Graduates
Studies.
* As always, financial need must be clearly documented on the
application. Students who will have 2011-2012 government student loans have
an easier way of documenting financial need. Student aid recipients will
likely be required to submit copies of their current "official" government
loan assessment (not 'quick assessments') to support their declaration of
financial need.
* Students must meet minimum G.P.A requirements. Continuing students
must have a minimum cumulative G.P.A. of 2.0. New students (from high
school) must have a grade 12 average of 70% or higher.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Financial Aid &
Awards Office by telephone at (204) 474-8197, or by email at

MANITOBA IS GETTING READY FOR A PROVINCIAL ELECTION
Dear Student:
A provincial election will be held in Manitoba on Tuesday, October 4, 2011.
Are you eligible to vote? Do you know which electoral division you will be
living in on election day? Are you looking for summer employment?
Manitoba is a democracy. In a democracy, you are free to choose who will
represent you by voting in elections. By making your choice, you are
exercising one of your democratic rights as a Canadian citizen.
Things to consider before casting your vote...
Who can vote?
You are eligible to vote in Manitoba if...
* You are a Canadian citizen.
* You are at least 18 years of age on or before election day; and
* You have lived in Manitoba for at least six months immediately
before election day.
What is your Electoral Division?
For voting purposes, Manitoba is divided into 57 areas (electoral
divisions). If you temporarily live away from your home electoral division
to attend a school in Manitoba, the following rules apply:
* If your course of study is longer than six months, you will vote in
the electoral division you live in while attending school.
* If your course of study is shorter than six months, you will vote in
your home electoral division.
Click here
<http://www.electionsmanitoba.ca/en/Voting/Where_Do_I_Vote/index.html> to
find your Electoral Division.
If you are attending school outside of Manitoba and will not be in the
province during advance voting or on election day, you can still vote. Visit
the Elections Manitoba website to find out how to apply as an Absentee voter
<http://www.electionsmanitoba.ca/en/Voting/Absentee_Voting/index.html> .
Looking for summer employment?
Elections Manitoba is looking for responsible, reliable people to help them
during the election process. From July 21 through to August 22, enumerators
are needed in all 57 electoral divisions in the province. These are paid
positions. For these and other employment opportunities, visit the Elections
Manitoba employment page
<http://www.electionsmanitoba.ca/en/Employment/index.html> .
For more information visit Elections Manitoba at: www.electionsmanitoba.ca
Remember, when you vote, you have a voice. Don't let other people speak for
you. Your vote counts!

Registrar's Office
March 16, 2011
To all U of Manitoba students.
Reminder: Voluntary Withdrawal Deadline for Fall/Winter and Winter Term
Courses is Friday, March 18, 2011
The deadline for Voluntary Withdrawal from Fall/Winter and Winter Term
courses taught during the standard term is this Friday, March 18. VW's must
be done through Aurora Student. Courses taught outside the standard term
will have different VW deadlines.
Note - if you are On Hold for outstanding tuition, library books, parking
fines, etc. you will not be able to access the Registration function in
Aurora to VW a course. If you are On Hold and plan to VW, you must either
first clear your Hold so that you can access the Registration functions in
Aurora, or you must contact your Faculty (University 1) advising office for
assistance in dropping the course.
Are you planning to take courses in Summer Session?
Join the thousands of students who take advantage of Summer Session to
lighten their load in fall & winter, finish their degree faster, enjoy
smaller classes, or catch up on missed or failed courses.
Here are some things to know if you are planning to register for Summer
Session
. Registration begins March 21, 2011. You will be assigned one day
during the first week in which you can register. The
<http://www.umanitoba.ca/extended/summer/calendar/registration/reg_sched.sht
ml> Registration Schedule indicates registration dates and times. Find your
registration time on Aurora Student. Log in and select Enrolment & Academic
Records. Select Registration and then Registration Time & Status. While on
this page you should also check to see if:
o You have any Holds that will prevent registration (including Advisor
Holds for students in specific programs);
o Your academic status prevents registration (e.g. academic suspension);
o Your record is not currently active due to an absence from university.
. For the first 5 days of registration (March 21, 22, 23, 24, and
25), spaces in most courses are released each day in equal numbers to ensure
fair access for all students. For example, if a course has 50 spaces
available, 10 spaces will be released each day. During these first 5 days of
registration, the only day you may register is determined by the last two
digits of your Student Number. You may register between 9:00 am and 12:00
midnight on your day of registration.
. If you are planning to Repeat a course(s) you have previously
completed, you must obtain permission from your faculty (University 1)
advising office prior to registration. Your advisor can also check to ensure
that a course Repeat is to your benefit depending on your academic goals. Do
this in advance of your registration day to ensure that your registration is
not delayed and you don't miss out on space.
. If you are expecting to graduate in Spring 2011, you must re-apply
for admission if you plan to continue taking courses in Summer Session.
. Remember that you are financially and academically responsible for
all courses in which you are registered after the Revision deadline. This
Revision period is very short in Summer Session, so make sure you drop a
course you will not be taking before it begins - or at the latest before the
applicable Revision deadline. Failure to pay for your courses will not
result in a de-registration of courses. Students who fail to pay for courses
will be placed on
<http://umanitoba.ca/student/records/registration/steps/652.htm> Hold and
will be unable to register for the following term until the Hold is cleared.
Failure to withdraw through normal procedures will result in a grade being
assigned to all courses in which you are registered in at the end of term
and you will be liable for all associated fees.
Remember - Make sure you contact a student advisor:
. If you are unsure of your course selection and program
requirements
. If you are planning to repeat a course or take an equivalent
course
. If your program requires Advisor approval - check your Hold status
in Aurora Student.
