[cid:image002.jpg@01D531AE.174C13F0] Dear Students, Welcome to UM’s Fall Term 2020! I hope you are well and excited to begin the Fall term. Whether you are new to UM or returning to learning; an undergraduate or a graduate student; living in Manitoba or studying from another province, country or continent – welcome! Faculty, staff and fellow students have worked hard throughout the summer to prepare for your arrival. Everyone is committed to ensuring that you have an outstanding learning experience, and that the supports and services you need are available to you. Throughout this remote learning period it is more important than ever to remain connected – and to build new connections – with your classmates, students who share your interests, and those who can support you in achieving your goals. Join a student group<http://umanitoba.ca/current-students/first-year/um-commons/student-communit…>, become a mentor or a mentee,<http://umanitoba.ca/student-supports/get-involved/student-peer-mentoring-pr…> and participate in some of the new workshops<https://eventscalendar.umanitoba.ca/> that are available. Remember, all UM student services<https://umanitoba.ca/student-supports> are open and available; if you need help with something, please reach out. I highly recommend that first-year students visit the new platform that was developed especially for you. It is called UM Commons<http://umanitoba.ca/current-students/first-year/um-commons> – an online hub with content that changes regularly so you have the most up-to-date information about workshops, activities, events, and resources throughout the academic year. And, if you missed the Welcome Ceremony<http://umanitoba.ca/current-students/first-year/um-commons/welcome-day> this morning, it was taped live and is now posted on the UM Commons site, featuring several inspirational messages from the UM community. Returning students are encouraged to register for the Learning Online course in UM Learn<https://universityofmanitoba.desire2learn.com/d2l/login>. It has been updated and is a great resource to help you brush up on your online learning skills. You can self-register<https://universityofmanitoba.desire2learn.com/d2l/le/content/6606/viewConte…> for this course in English or Mandarin. We have also moved the Student ID card application process online! For new students and anyone else in need of a new ID card, the process is straightforward. Once you have registered for courses, you can request an ID card through Aurora<https://aurora.umanitoba.ca/banprod/twbkwbis.P_GenMenu?name=homepage>. This ID card can be used to access many services and benefits<http://umanitoba.ca/registrar/photo-id> available to you. We know that many students have been affected financially by the pandemic. UM has negotiated a reduced rate for internet through Bell MTS. I encourage you to check it out<https://news.umanitoba.ca/um-students-get-more-affordable-rates-on-data-pla…>. From September 8, UM students will have access to the Active Living Centre at the Fort Garry campus and the Joe Doupe Recreation Centre at the Bannatyne campus, both operating at approximately 25 percent capacity and accommodating pre-booked workouts only. Visit the Recreation Services website<http://umanitoba.ca/community/sport-recreation/recreation-services/membersh…> to find out how to activate your account and pre-book your workouts. If you are required to attend in-person components of courses on one of our campuses, here are some important things to know: * Review the COVID-19 campus protocols<http://umanitoba.ca/coronavirus/students#what-to-know-before-you-come-to-ca…> before you arrive. * All UM faculty, staff and students—as well as visitors, contractors and vendors— will be required to wear a face mask in all indoor common or shared spaces on campus, or where social distancing cannot be maintained. * UM will be providing masks to all students who are required on campus – for information on where to pick up your mask visit here<https://news.umanitoba.ca/latest-news-on-covid-19-campus-recovery/>. * If you are attending an in-person class and need somewhere to study, spaces have been identified on the Fort Garry campus<https://umanitoba.ca/coronavirus/students#whats-open-on-campus>, including computer labs, and some open UM Libraries<https://news.umanitoba.ca/libraries-open-study-spaces-for-students/>. (Note that these links will continue to be updated throughout the Fall Term.) Please minimize your exposure on campus – go to your classes and study in designated spaces only. * For those commuting to campus, you can learn more about student parking for Fall Term 2020 here<http://umanitoba.ca/parking/student-parking>, and Winnipeg Transit times and safety protocols here<https://winnipegtransit.com/en/rider-guide/news/winnipeg-transit-response-t…>. For more information on what to except this Fall Term, along with regular updates, please visit http://umanitoba.ca/coronavirus/students. It is also important to become familiar with resources<http://umanitoba.ca/student-supports/academic-supports/academic-learning/su…> to support you in learning remotely, and to review important policies, including understanding what to do if you are unable to meet your course requirements, term work or final exams. For example, students who are unable to meet a course requirement due to medical circumstances are currently not required to submit medical notes. However, you ARE required to contact your instructor and/or academic advisor<http://umanitoba.ca/student-supports/academic-supports/academic-advising> in your home faculty/college/school to inform of the missed work and to make arrangements for extensions, deferrals, or make-up assignments. Please visit here<https://umanitoba.ca/coronavirus/students#personal-support> for the guidelines and additional information. While taking part in classes and groups online, it is important to remember that respectful conduct is expected in the virtual world too. View this video<https://youtu.be/RuY83g5lrBY> to hear about your rights and responsibilities and understand expectations for maintaining a climate of respect at the UM. Thank you for choosing the University of Manitoba. We are so glad that you are here! Whether learning remotely or attending classes in person, your academic success is our first priority. The year ahead will be filled with lots of opportunities to apply your learning in new and exciting ways, to engage in problem solving and critical thinking, and to wrestle with novel concepts and ideas. I continue to be inspired by your commitment, hard work, and resilience. You’ve got this Bisons! Let’s make it a great year – together! All my best, Laurie Schnarr Laurie M.

Sport and Recreation Fees
by Susan Carvell 30 Jul '20

30 Jul '20

[cid:image002.jpg@01D531AE.174C13F0] Dear Students, The Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management (FKRM) has been actively working with UM's COVID-19 Recovery Working Group on a phased approach to re-opening sport and recreation facilities at both the Fort Garry and Bannatyne campuses. As such, the Sport and Rec Fee will be applied to all UM students' tuition at a reduced rate for the Fall Term. The rate, 70 per cent of the standard Sport and Rec Fee, will be assessed at $62.92 for full-time students and $47.18 for part-time students. The partial assessment of the Sport and Rec Fee enables UM sport and recreation facilities and services to operate and safely support students through access to facilities and programming (on-site and online) that contribute to physical health, mental wellbeing and student success. At present, the Active Living Centre at the Fort Garry campus, including group fitness class offerings, are operational at reduced capacity with changes to processes to ensure government, health and UM regulations related to COVID-19 are met. * All users are being asked to complete a waiver, provided by email from Recreation Services, before they can access the facilities and make bookings. [*] Changes to booking procedures are highlighted on the Recreation Services website<http://umanitoba.ca/community/sport-recreation/recreation-services/membersh…> * Locker/change rooms on the main floor, adjacent to the Active Living Centre, are open for day-use, however, showers are not available. * Single-stall gender-inclusive washrooms, located on every floor of the Active Living Centre, are open and available for use. While the Frank Kennedy Centre, including gyms, studios, courts, the community change room, and the Joyce Fromson Pool remain closed, feasibility to re-open those areas in alignment with health regulations will continue to be evaluated. An announcement about the re-opening of the Joe Doupe Recreation Centre at the Bannatyne campus is forthcoming. Please visit the Recreation Services website<http://umanitoba.ca/community/sport-recreation/recreation-services/membersh…> for more information about changes and updates. Statement of inclusion: At the University of Manitoba, we are committed to equity of access and opportunity for all members, UM students, faculty and staff. We welcome you to a diverse and inclusive environment where everyone-from all backgrounds and perspectives-is respected, valued, and can enjoy an exceptional experience.

ALC to re-open Monday, July 27
by Rec Services 21 Jul '20

21 Jul '20

The Active Living Centre is re-opening Monday, July 27. The opening of the Active Living Centre is an important step in the process to recovery and re-opening at UM as its function supports our commitment to active living and the wellness of our entire community. Ordinarily UM students pay the Sport and Rec Fee<http://umanitoba.ca/registrar/tuition-fees> as a part of tuition costs to access Sport and Recreation Facilities<http://umanitoba.ca/community/sport-recreation/sport-and-recreation-facilit…>. This fee was not applied for Summer Term. As the Active Living Centre closed its doors on March 13, a month before the end of Winter Term, UM students who were enrolled in Winter Term 2020 will be able to re-activate their student membership to use the Active Living Centre for the remainder of the summer, honouring the fee they had paid for Winter Term. Students should watch for a follow up email from Recreation Services in the coming week with details on how to re-activate their student membership. To ensure the health and safety of everyone and in order to meet, and exceed government regulations, important changes to operations have been made: * Hours of operation will be Monday through Sunday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. * To ensure physical distancing, there will be a 100-member capacity in the facility at any one time. This represents approximately 25 per cent of the Active Living Centre’s capacity. * Members will book 90-minute workout blocks to guarantee a workout time. Booking details to come. * Thorough facility cleaning and sanitization will occur in-between blocks. Hand sanitizer will be available at the entrance, at the exit and throughout the facility. Participants will be asked to apply hand sanitizer immediately after entry and upon leaving the facilities. * Water fountains will be turned off (please bring your own water or sports drinks). * Group fitness classes will also be offered, but on a reduced basis. Before entering the facility, staff and participants must use the self-screening tool<https://sharedhealthmb.ca/covid19/screening-tool/>. Entry will not be allowed entry if anyone presents with COVID-19 symptoms. The Recreation Services website<http://umanitoba.ca/community/sport-recreation/recreation-services/membersh…> outlines the details of the re-opening and everything you will need to know before returning, in addition to information about membership and changes to services. Some of those changes include: * Suspension of towel service * The Joyce Fromson Pool, showers and sauna will remain closed * The gymnasiums and courts will remain closed * Due to COVID-19 procedures at the Bannatyne campus, Joe Doupe Recreation Centre will not be re-opening at this time. The UM Recreation Services team is excited to be able to open the doors and begin moving forward in supporting the fitness goals of the UM community and membership. “We thank you for your patience as we continue to work toward a strategic and safe re-opening,” said Tanya Angus, Director, Recreation Services. “We look forward to welcoming you back.” Follow Recreation Services on social media (Facebook<https://www.facebook.com/UofMRecreationServices>, Instagram<https://www.instagram.com/uofmrecservices/>) for more news and updates. Sincerely, Recreation Services

Fort Garry Campus Student Locker Access Available July 20-24
by Marcia Davies 09 Jul '20

09 Jul '20

[cid:image002.jpg@01D531AE.174C13F0] Good afternoon Students. In March, we made the difficult decision to close the campus as part of the community effort to slow the spread of COVID-19. This decision was made within a tight timeframe, and many of you were unable to retrieve personal belongings from your locker. To support you in collecting any needed personal items, the Fort Garry campus will be hosting a locker clean-out week from Monday, July 20th until Friday, July 24th from 9:00am until 4:00pm. As noted below, each day of the week a specific zone of the campus will be opened to allow students within that zone to retrieve their belongings and clean out their lockers. No registration is required. All students participating in this clean-out exercise must adhere to the following safety precautions: q While not mandatory, you are encouraged to wear a mask while visiting campus. q If you have returned from international or domestic travel in the last 14 days or have cold or flu-like symptoms (cough, fever, runny nose, sore throat, headache, etc.) you are not permitted to participate. q A designated free parking lot and check-in station for each zone has been established and must be used while visiting. Consult the table below to identify your zone, parking lot, and check-in station. q All other entrances to buildings will be locked and inaccessible and all other parking lots will operate under normal ticketing rules. q While outside and inside, you must make every effort to ensure a 2 metre distance between you and others. Thank you in advance for your support. All my best. …Laurie Laurie M.
