Changes to the University of Manitoba General Bursary Application Process

by all-students＠lists.umanitoba.ca

>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 awards(a)umanitoba.ca Jane Lastra, B.A. Director, Financial Aid & Awards University of Manitoba

by all-students＠lists.umanitoba.ca

Description: bw_horizontal[1] 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. Description: SA_logo-tag_line Creating Opportunities for Student Success
