China Earthquake Relief
by cc-student＠lists.umanitoba.ca 21 May '08

21 May '08

This message is being sent on behalf of the Office of the President. Dear Colleagues: I am writing in the aftermath of the recent earthquake in China, to ask for your assistance, and to advise you of the initiatives the broader Chinese community of Winnipeg is undertaking to help the survivors of this tragedy. As many of you are aware, an earthquake of magnitude 8.0 - first reported as 7.8 - hit the province of Sichuan, China, on Monday, May 12. As of May 19, the death toll had reached 34,000 and more than 250,000 were injured. These numbers are expected to rise rapidly in the days to come. Beichuan, a small town at the epicenter of the earthquake, was flattened in seconds. Thousands of students lost their lives in school on that Monday afternoon. The devastation and deaths are of such magnitude that the Government of China has declared three days of national mourning, the first ever in the Chinese history. We have all read stories of natural disasters and sometimes it is hard to comprehend destruction and devastation that is located far away. For many of our students, faculty and staff, however, this tragedy is all too real. Sichuan Province is home to many international students at the University of Manitoba, and several of our professors have their hometowns within 200 km of the epicenter. Furthermore Sichuan University is a sister university of the University of Manitoba, and Winnipeg is a sister city of Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province. Dr. Feiyue Wang, a member of our Department of Environment and Geography as well as the Department of Chemistry, and Chair of the Manitoba Chinese Tribune, has advised me that the Chinese and Chinese-Canadian communities of Winnipeg are co-coordinating efforts to provide care and support to the victims of this earthquake. A major benefit performance is planned for May 25 at the Canad Inns - Polo Park. I am attaching the poster describing this event for your information. Your attendance would be most appreciated. If you would like to make a donation, please make your cheque payable to the Canadian Red Cross, earmarked "China Earthquake". You may drop the cheque at the event venue, or at the Winnipeg Chinese Cultural and Community Centre, or mail it directly to the Canadian Red Cross National Office, 170 Metcalfe, Suite 300, Ottawa, ON K2P, 2P2. If you wish, you may donate directly with your credit cards at www.redcross.ca <http://www.redcross.ca/> . Most importantly, do not forget that our University has many Chinese students, scholars of Chinese origin, and friends of Chinese ancestry in the community. A friendly smile would help them immeasurably, as would an inquiry about their families and friends. Whatever their circumstances, it will help them to know that though they may be far from home, here they are not alone. Sincerely, Emőke Szathmáry, Ph.D. President and Vice-Chancellor _____

[EMEMO] [Fwd: Re: Possible Strike Action by the Canadian Auto Works (CAW) at the University]
by Debbie McCallum 04 Oct '07

04 Oct '07

TO ALL STUDENTS AND STAFF The University and CAW have been bargaining since September 24th in an effort to reach a new Collective Agreement. On October 3, 2007 the University applied for conciliation when negotiations reached an impasse. The CAW membership voted in favour of establishing a strike deadline of midnight Tuesday, October 9, 2007. Should negotiations be unsuccessful in reaching a collective agreement by that date, strike action by CAW staff could take place as early as Wednesday, October 10. The CAW represents approximately 480 University employees in the maintenance trades, powerhouse, general services (truck deliveries, snow clearing, garbage pick up, etc.), grounds, caretaking, residences and food services. In the event of a strike, the University will continue normal operations to the extent possible. Although a CAW labour action may have some impact on aspects of University operations, it is not expected to have a direct impact on the delivery of academic programs. In the event of a strike the following standard employment procedures apply: 1. During a strike all employees have a legal right to work: * All employees have a legal right to cross a picket line and come to work. * Those employees on strike may choose to come to work or not come to work. * Those employees not on strike, including those employees covered by collective agreements other than CAW agreement and excluded employees, have a legal right to work as well as an obligation to come to work. 2. Employees who do not come to work will not be paid and may be subject to discipline. 3. Any picket line incidents or problems should be reported immediately to the University Security Services (474-9312). Rogers and MTS Mobility cellular customers can also reach Security by dialing #555. In the event of a strike, students should be aware of the following: 1. Classes, lectures and labs will continue as scheduled unless otherwise announced. 2. Libraries will remain open. 3. Winnipeg Transit and the University shuttle bus will continue to operate. 4. Some services around campus (eg. Food Services, custodial) will be reduced. Should a strike occur, more information will be made available. 5. Residence food service and cleaning will be provided by non-union staff. 6. Any picket line incidents or problems should be reported immediately to the University Security Services (474-9312). Rogers and MTS Mobility cellular customers can also reach Security by dialing #555. In the event of a strike, more information will be provided to you through the University web site, e-mail communications and an information hotline at the earliest possible opportunity on Wednesday October 10. -- Deborah J.

If this program is not the program you intend to register in, please contact your intended faculty. Your registration time may need to be adjusted. . If you have a Hold or Academic Status (such as Suspension) that prevents registration, this will also be noted. If you have been away for awhile and your account has been inactivated as a result, this will also be noted. . If you see that you have a Hold that prevents registration, click View Holds at the bottom of the page for details. Note that Honours and Major students in the Faculty of Science and the Riddell Faculty must have their program approved by their faculty advisor prior to registration. . If your account is Inactive, please contact a student advisor in your faculty office. New for 2007! Laboratory Fees The University of Manitoba has introduced a lab fee for all course sections that include a laboratory component. Three types of lab sections have been identified: . Wet/Bench Labs will be assessed a fee of $30.00 per term for sections that are 3 to 5 credit hours. . Dry Labs /Tutorials and Language Labs will be assessed a fee of $25.00 per term for sections that are 3 to 5 credit hours. Lab Fees are in the process of being set up on applicable course sections. If the fee is in place at the time of registration you will be assessed immediately. Please check your fee statement prior to the fee payment deadline for any Lab Fees that may have been assessed after you had registered. Note that Lab Fees are refundable only up to the Revision Deadline for the applicable term. You may view the Lab Fees attached to a specific course section in the Class Schedule - Detailed Class Information. To view Detailed Class Information in Class Schedule click on the Course Title- CRN- Section Number link. If a Lab Fee has been applied it will appear under the heading: Base Fees (other charges may apply) UMSU Health Dental Plan changes The University of Manitoba Students Union (UMSU) Health & Dental Plan is a group benefit approved by students in a referendum in 2002. Since that time, the university has supported the administration of the plan and continues to do so. All students taking 6 credit hours or more for the Fall Term (excluding Distance Education and Off Campus courses) are automatically enrolled in the plan. The plan fee is $226.55 per year (for 12 months of coverage), though students may add their family (spouse and dependants) for an additional fee of $343.85. Students who have suitable alternate coverage may apply to UMSU to opt out of the plan. Details of the plan and opt-out deadlines are available online, at the UMSU Health and Dental Office in 110 University Centre or by calling 204.474.6666. In an effort to provide information to the insurance provider that is both timely and accurate and to ensure that students have suitable coverage when needed, administration of the opt out process has been changed, effective Fall 2007. The plan premium must be paid to the university, regardless of whether or not you are planning to opt out. If your opt-out application is approved, you will be issued a refund of the Health and Dental Insurance fee directly from UMSU. Go to UMSU.ca for more information on UMSU Health and Dental Insurance and to access the opt-out application form (available in August). Note: Band sponsored students will initially be assessed the UMSU Health & Dental Fee. The fee will be removed from your student account before invoices are sent to Band sponsors. Credit Hours needed per term to be considered Full Time Undergraduates Full Time Status is determined on a per term basis. To be considered full time, most undergraduate students must be enroled in at least 60% of a full course load for the program in which they are registered. For example, in a program in which the normal full load for a Fall/Winter Session is 30 credit hours, full time status is based on 60% of a full term load of 15 credit hours. In this example a student would need to be registered in a minimum of 9 credit hours in a term to be considered full time for that term. As the course load varies between years within a program, faculties have determined a minimum number of credit hours required for each term applicable to all years for specific programs. If you are uncertain of the number of credit hours required to be full time in a term in your program, please consult a Student Advisor in your faculty. Graduate Students Note that, with the exception of students in programs in which fees are assessed on a per credit hour basis (MBA, MPA, Social Work by Dist Ed, Occasional, Pre-Masters), graduate level students are considered full time, unless approved by the department and the Faculty of Graduate Studies for part time study. Students in the programs noted above will be assessed as full time or part time by the rules used for undergraduate students described above (i.e based on registered credit hours.) Good Luck with registration. If you have questions regarding registration in your program please check with your faculty office. For an immediate response to a registration related question go to AskUManitoba.ca. Neil Marnoch Registrar, University of Manitoba

Student Bulletin: Transcripts and GPA's
by Neil Marnoch 31 Jan '07

31 Jan '07

Information about Official University of Manitoba Transcripts and GPA calculations... Due to the Aurora student information system implementation, official transcripts issued for the past few months have not included Fall 2006 enrolment information. Registration verifications, issued along with official transcripts, provided certification of current enrolment. The Registration verifications also included final grades reported for Fall 2006. Effective immediately, official transcripts now include academic activity that is tracked in the Aurora system. Below is information that will help you understand how your academic activity will be reported and how grade point averages are calculated on the official transcript. Please note that transcripts may be ordered in-person at the Registrars Office, by fax or by mail. Processing time for all transcripts (pick-ups and mail-outs), is two working days. For further information, please refer to the Registrars Office website at: umanitoba.ca/registrar. * Students who studied before September 2006 only will receive a transcript using the old format (see Old Transcript below). * Students whose study began September 2006 and later will receive a transcript using the new format (see New Transcript below). * Students who have studied at the University of Manitoba both before and after September 2006 will receive a two part transcript. * Part 1 will follow the old format (Old Transcript) and will report work completed before September 2006. * Part 2 will follow the new format (New Transcript) and report U of M courses completed September 2006 and onwards, all courses transferred from external institutions, and credit hours and grade points for all courses, including courses completed prior to September 2006. See below for an explanation of grade point average calculations. Course Numbers and Titles Old Transcript Courses identified with department code, an abbreviated course title, and a numeric department number and a three digit course number. e.g PSY INTRODUCTION 17.120 New Transcript Courses are identified with a subject code of up to four characters and four digit course number, along with the full title. Note: courses that span over two terms are listed as two course sections, Part A and Part B. Students who complete a course that spans over both terms will be assigned the same grade for both parts and only when Part B has been completed. e.g PSYC 1200 Introduction to Psychology (Part A) PSYC 1200 Introduction to Psychology (Part B) Level of Study Old Transcript: All levels of study are reported in session sequence. New Transcript Transcript and page numbering is organized by level of study. Work completed within a specific level is reported on the applicable section of the transcript. * Cumulative grade point averages are calculated by level * Previous degrees awarded are reported by level. i.e. Undergraduate degrees awarded are reported on the undergraduate section of the transcript. * Levels of Study: Undergraduate, Graduate, Post Graduate Medical Education Repeat Rule Old Transcript Course repeats are calculated according to faculty rules. Some faculties counted all grades, some counted the highest grades, and some counted the last grade. New Transcript When a course has been repeated, only the last grade is calculated in the grade point average and towards Passed, Earned and GPA hours. All course attempts are counted towards Attempted Hours. Repeated courses that have been excluded from GPA calculations are indicated with an E. Manually included courses are indicated with an I. * Note that indirect transfer credit (unallocated) may be marked with I (included), as students may have more than one credit in a subject area with the same courses number. e.g. ECON 2XXX Transfer Credit 2000 level Grade Point Averages Old Transcript Weighted Grade Points (Weighted GP) The value of the grade assigned multiplied by the credit hour value of the course. e.g.B (3 grade points) x 3 credit hours = 9 Weighted Grade Points New Transcript QualityPoints (QPts) The value of the grade assigned multiplied by the credit hour value of the course. e.g.B (3 grade points) x 3 credit hours = 9 Quality Points Hours Old Transcript Sessional:all credit hours completed within a session, Regular or Summer Cumulative:all credit hours acceptable for credit towards or transferred towards the current faculty. New Transcript AttemptedHours: all courses completed within a level of study. PassedHours: all courses completed within a level of study with a grade of D or better, subject to the Repeat rule. EarnedHours: all courses completed within a level of study, subject to the Repeat rule. GPA Hours: all courses completed within a level of study, subject to the Repeat rule, excluding courses with grades that do not carry a grade point value; e.g. courses graded Pass or Fail. GradePoint Average Calculations Old Transcript WeightGrade Points divided by Hours (sessional or cumulative as defined above). New Transcript GradePoint Average (GPA) Calculation Total Quality Points divided by total GPA hours Term Grade Point Average (TGPA) The grade point average of all courses completed within a given term of study, subject to the Repeat Rule, excluding courses with grades that do not carry a grade point value. Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) The grade point average of all courses completed within a level of study, subject to the Repeat Rule, excluding courses with grades that do not carry a grade point value. Note: The CGPA for students who have academic history before and after September 2006 will include all work completed at and transferred to the U of M, subject to the institutional rule on repeated courses. Due to the change in definition of the cumulative average, this CGPA may differ from the CGPA reported on Part 1 of the transcript. Degree Grade Point Average (DGPA) The grade point average of all courses acceptable for credit in the current degree program, subject to the Repeat rule, excluding courses with grades that do not carry a grade point value. DGPA will be reported for graduates after degrees have been awarded in February 2007. Note:DGPA is not reported for degrees awarded prior to February 2007. For degrees awarded prior to February 2007, please refer to the CGPA reported on the Old Transcript for the grade point average on courses applicable to the degree. Note:DGPA for programs in progress are not currently reported. Faculties are in the process of verifying the courses that contribute toward the DGPA. DGPA will be reported as of April 2007.
