Good afternoon everyone,
Please be advised the Terms of Reference for the Faculty of Graduate Studies Travel Award has been updated, which was recently approved by Senate and the Board of Governors. One of the notable changes to the award is the GPA requirement. It is now 3.50 in the last 60 credit hours of study (or equivalent) and the students must be in good standing. It is no longer 3.50 in each of the last two years.
Otherwise, all other requirements of the award are still the same, along with the online application needed to apply for the award.
Any students previously approved under the former regulations before today's date will still be eligible.
The information has been updated on our database, and the link is here<http://webapps.cc.umanitoba.ca/gradawards/index.asp?WCI=SearchForm&WCE=brow…>.
Any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you,
Laura.

Hello everyone,
As you know, Aurora INB will be shutting down from November 21 - 26 due to the Banner 9 upgrade. Per the email from the Registrar's Office, the shutdown will prevent any transcript orders.
Subsequently, kindly remind your students to order their transcripts early as the Aurora shutdown may impact their ability to complete their Tri-Agency CGSM application, which is due on December 3rd. Each year, at least one application is deemed ineligible for failing to submit current and up to date U of M transcripts. In particular, this is an issue for students who are in the first year of their Master's program at U of M. There seems to be misconception that they do not need to submit these transcripts because they do not have grades from the fall courses. Please ensure that students are made aware of this requirement.
Thank you and please do not hesitate to ask if you need further clarification.
Rowena
