The University of Manitoba is pleased to announce the establishment of a
Copyright Office.
Issues relating to copyright have become increasingly complex and are
evolving rapidly. There have been, and will likely continue to be changes
in the law, technology, and practice which impact the University as a major
creator and user of copyrighted material. The University has established
this new office to ensure that faculty, staff, and students have the
supports they require to be successful in their teaching, research, and
studies.
The Copyright Office's mandate will include four major functions:
. Providing educational programs and general advice on copyright
issues.
. Providing a centralized service for obtaining clearance for
the use of copyrighted materials.
. Monitoring the University's compliance with copyright rules,
and encouraging appropriate practices.
. Assisting with the posting of materials to electronic learning
systems.
Ms. Juliette Nadeau has been selected as the University's Copyright Officer
and will head the new office. Juliette can be contacted at 474-8644, or
juliette_nadeau(a)umanitoba.ca.
General inquires, clearance requests, and requests for educational
programing may be sent to um_copyright(a)umanitoba.ca.
Remember, use it fairly - keep it legal.

This message is sent on behalf of Mrs. Jane Lastra, Director, Financial Aid
and Awards, Enrolment Services.
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.

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.

Awards Office by telephone at (204) 474-8197, or by email at
