Registration Revision Period ends January 17
by all-students＠lists.umanitoba.ca 13 Jan '14

13 Jan '14

You are receiving this email because you are currently registered for Winter 2014 courses at the University of Manitoba. If you will not attend the U of M this term, you must withdraw from your courses before January 17 *. Graduate Studies students who are unable to continue studies this term must contact their department<http://fgs-webap.cc.umanitoba.ca/contacts/index.php?contact=suppstaff> regarding a Leave of Absence. To all U of M students, The Winter Term 2014 Registration Revision Period for most students ends January 17, 2014.** The Registration Revision Period can be used to attend classes, test out your classroom experience and determine if you will remain registered in the courses you have selected or if changes should be made. Don't forget to review your fee assessment after making any changes! During the Registration Revision Period, you may: * Add a new class if you changed your mind about your course subjects, or if a course that was previously full is now available * Drop a class and receive a tuition refund * Switch a lecture or lab to a more preferred day/time January 17, 2014 is the last day to make changes to your Winter 2014 or Winter/Summer 2014 registration. Check your fee assessment after making changes to your registration; any fees resulting from changes are due January 17. Fee Payment: * Students with outstanding fees after the January 7 fee payment deadline have already been assessed late fees. * Students should review their fee assessment after any registration changes made during the Revision Period. * A further $40 late fee will be applied to accounts outstanding after January 17 and students will be placed on Hold. Students on Hold will need faculty/school advising office assistance to withdraw from courses. * All students with unpaid accounts will receive reminder notices by email, mail and phone; all unpaid accounts will eventually be referred to a collections agency. Remember: * Students who do not withdraw from their Winter Term and Winter Term/Summer Session spanned courses by January 17 will be required to pay the full tuition and fees associated with their registration, even if they do not attend classes. * Once the Revision Period is over, students are no longer able to add new classes or switch the day/time for lectures and labs - you may still Voluntarily Withdraw from a class, but will not receive a tuition refund. * Be cautious of adding a new course too late in the Registration Revision Period - you may have missed a number of classes, and have assignments due right away.

[MALWARE WARNING] - Cryptolocker Ransomware
by all-students＠lists.umanitoba.ca 20 Nov '13

20 Nov '13

MALWARE WARNING – Cryptolocker Ransomware Many of you may have heard of a recent threat, referred to as "Cryptolocker Ransomware". This is an extremely dangerous type of malware that has impacted several thousand systems around the world. We have had one reported incident on campus this week, so it is important that all users are aware of the threat. The malware encrypts files on an infected system, then demands payment from the victim in order to decrypt and recover the files. The primary means of infection is via phishing emails with malicious attachments. The emails may claim to be from your bank, or claim to be a tracking message from a delivery company, such as FedEx or UPS. PREVENTION We are currently seeing several blocked messages related to this attack on our Ironport (Exchange) and Spamhaus (CC Mail) filters. But tactics to bypass filters can change without notice. Be cautious with email on any account (Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, QQ, Facebook, etc…) DO NOT follow unsolicited web links in messages and be cautious with all email attachments. When in doubt contact the Help Desk for assistance. LOWER YOUR RISK! * Perform regular backups of important files and store this data in a secure offline location. * Keep your operating system and application software up to date with the latest patches. * Maintain up-to-date anti-virus software. The University provides secure file storage for faculty, staff and students. Consult your local IT support staff or the Help Desk for details. University of Manitoba Help Desk - 204-474-8600 or support(a)umanitoba.ca MORE TECHNICAL DETAILS Once a system is infected, the malware restricts access to files by encrypting Microsoft Documents (Word, Excel, Powerpoint) and PDF's found on all attached storage. This may include local and external drives, USB drives, network drives and cloud storage. Some current indicators of the malicious emails (which may change at any time) are: Attachments follow the naming convention of "Form_[random letters or numbers].zip (example: Form_nfcausa.org.zip, Form_20130810.exe, Form_f4f43454.zip) Spoofed Sender: "fraud(a)aexp[.]com" "Dewayne(a)nfcausa[.]org" Sample Subject: "Annual Form - Authorization to Use Privately Owned Vehicle on State Business" For more information Google the following: "recognizing and avoiding email scams" or "cryptolocker" Regards, DT -- +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ David Treble IT Security Coordinator E3-640 EITC University of Manitoba David_Treble(a)umanitoba.ca - 204.474.8340 Follow @uminfosec on Twitter Ask me about the Infosec Mailing List! http://blogs.cc.umanitoba.ca/ist-alerts/ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

There will be no access restrictions for those travelling to and from campus on foot, by bike or by bus. Those students, staff and faculty members travelling to campus by car between 11:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. will require a valid U of M parking permit and must enter via Kings Drive. This dedicated entrance is for U of M permit holders only, providing a shorter, easier route of entry.

The Bulletin
by all-students＠lists.umanitoba.ca 25 Oct '13

25 Oct '13

[LH masthead.jpg] In 1936, University of Manitoba President and Vice-Chancellor Sidney Smith launched a new and exciting communications vehicle, The University Bulletin, to serve our university community. For the past 77 years, The Bulletin has provided a forum where we could share stories and information about the people, places and events that make our university such a vibrant and exciting place. Today, we say a fond farewell with a special commemorative edition that you can find at various locations on our campuses. I want to thank all of you for giving us so many good stories to tell over the years. The Bulletin has been the equivalent of our village square, the place that gave us our community connection and chronicled our events, success and progress. Thank you and congratulations to the editors, writers, photographers, as well as faculty and staff contributors who worked so hard over the decades to tell those stories. Our current staff will continue to provide that information in a different forum when we launch UM Today, a dynamic, interactive and mobile-friendly news website. You will hear more about this service to our community in the days ahead. We hope this special edition provides an opportunity to celebrate and honour this newspaper that has been witness to many changes to our community and has served us all so well. While the presses have stopped rolling, The Bulletin will always hold a special place for us in our memories. David David T. Barnard, Ph.D., President and Vice-Chancellor 202 Administration Building, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg MB R3T 2N2 Canada Office: +1-204-474-9345 FAX: +1-204-261-1318 Email: president(a)umanitoba.ca [cid:image002.jpg@01CAEBD7.78870110] [cid:image003.png@01CED199.4E293D10]

Message from David T. Barnard
by all-students＠lists.umanitoba.ca 22 Oct '13

22 Oct '13

[LH masthead.jpg] On behalf of the entire University of Manitoba community, I want to congratulate the bargaining teams for their successful efforts to reach a negotiated settlement ensuring no work stoppage or disruption to our 29,000 students. The three-year agreement reached late last night resolves all major issues; remaining differences will be decided through an arbitration process. The agreement provides long-term stability and certainty that will allow us to focus on our core mission of learning, discovery and engagement. I recognize that these negotiations created uncertainty among students and I want to thank them for their patience as we worked our way through the process. I also appreciate the hard work and dedication of our faculty and staff and I am pleased we were able reach a fair settlement that demonstrates the flexibility of all parties and allows us to move forward in a spirit of mutual respect.

Barnard, Ph.D., President and Vice-Chancellor 202 Administration Building, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg MB R3T 2N2 Canada Office: +1-204-474-9345 FAX: +1-204-261-1318 Email: president(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:president@umanitoba.ca> [cid:image002.jpg@01CAEBD7.78870110] [cid:image004.png@01CECF10.8E3C0E90]
