Re:
Registration: for Fall 2008 and Winter 2009
- - -
Please find below two
important notices about graduate
student registration:
#1. Required registration and
course numbers for Graduate Students.
#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 program (except
MBA
or MPA students).
As you are probably aware
all
Graduate Students are required to register every September for the
coming year
(or they will be “discontinued” from their program of studies).
Therefore, it will be essential that you (as a continuing graduate
student)
register for “something” in both the Fall and Winter term.
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 = 10464 (spanned course – both Fall and Winter term)
or
“Ph.D.
re-registration”
GRAD 8020 A02 CRN = 10474 (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.
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
they have the approved Leave. (Students on Regular Leave are still
required to
register for the re-registration course number in both Fall and Winter
term)
·
Students who are
certain they will
be graduating February 2009. Students graduating in February 2009
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 terms 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 department assistant. You can find a
list of
department and faculty advisors here:

#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
part of
your Master’s or Ph.D. program. If they are not part of your program
then
they should be added through your Department office as an Auxiliary
course
“AX” or an Occasional course “OS”. 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.

Thanks very much for your attention!
