Please
find
below
two important notices about graduate student registration:
#1. Required
registration
and
course numbers for graduate students; and
#2.
Information
regarding
“Extra Courses,” “Maximum Credit Hours,” and “Degree Requirements.”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#1.
Information
for
all
Master’s and Ph.D. students who
are continuing in their programs (except MBA and MPA
students*):
As
you are probably aware all graduate students are
required to register every September and January for the coming
academic year
or they will be “discontinued” from their program of studies.
Therefore, it is
essential that you (as a continuing graduate student) register for
“something”
in both the Fall and Winter terms.
The
most efficient way of ensuring that you are
registered in order to retain status is to register for the
“Re-Registration”
course:
“Master’s
re-registration”
GRAD 7020 A02 CRN = 10384 (spanned course – both Fall and Winter term)
or
“Ph.D.
re-registration”
GRAD 8020 A02 CRN = 10400 (spanned course – both Fall and Winter term )
This
re-registration should be over and above any
course registration(s) you complete. If you are registered for the
re-registration course (over both Fall and Winter terms) you will
retain status
in your graduate program even if you withdraw from courses.
*MBA
and MPA students: if you need to register for
re-registration only, please contact your departmental graduate program
assistant.
The
only students who will NOT have to register for
both the Fall and/or Winter terms are:
·
Students
on
a
Parental or Exceptional Leave – you do not have to register in the
term(s)
for which the leave is approved. (Students on Regular Leave are still
required
to register for the re-registration course number in both Fall and
Winter
terms.)
·
Students
who
are
certain they will be graduating in February 2011 - These
students
should register for their final exercise/project for Fall term, i.e.,
Thesis/practicum/comprehensive exam/engineering project or the final
course or
re-registration GRAD 7020/GRAD 8020 for Fall term only.
The
CRN’s for the Fall and Winter term courses that
are not spanned can be found by searching the “Class Schedule” on the
web which
can be accessed through the following website:
https://aurora.umanitoba.ca/banprod/twbkwbis.P_GenMenu?name=homepage
If
you have questions about registration please
contact your departmental graduate program assistant.

#2.
Important
information
for
all Master’s and Ph.D.
students:
This
is a notice/reminder to please plan your
program carefully. Many of the luxury “built in” checks we had in the
former
student database are no longer available. It is imperative that you
ensure you
are registering for only those courses that are a major part of your
Master’s
or Ph.D. program. If they are not part of your major program then they
should
be added through your Department office as an Auxiliary course “X” or
an
Occasional course “O”. Also please ensure that you do not register for
more
courses than your program allows. (Please check with your department on
this.
If you register for courses that are above the maximum threshold of
your
program, extra fees will be assessed at the time of graduation when a
final program
check is made at the time of graduation.)
I
would like to draw your attention to the
following academic regulation of the Faculty of Graduate Studies:
“Students
are
ultimately
responsible for
ensuring that they meet degree and program requirements. The
advisor
(co-advisor), advisory committee and the department must ensure that
each
student follows the guidelines and meets the program requirements. The
Faculty
of Graduate Studies performs a final check of program requirements for
each
student just prior to graduation. Students are cautioned, therefore, to
check
all regulations with respect to the degree requirements. Failure to
meet all
the requirements will result in failure to graduate.”
Once
again, please be attentive to your program requirements and the
directions
given to you by your department.

Thank
you
for your attention to this matter!
