16 Jun '25

Hi everyone, Exciting news! Our Go2Knowledge membership has been renewed through June 2026. Please take a moment to explore the platform and complete any trainings that interest you. Here is the link to access Go2Knowledge: https://www.go2knowledge.org/learn/dashboard. Please log in with your umanitoba email address and password. To encourage participation, each completed Go2Knowledge webinar or UMAE meeting attendance will enter you into a draw for a UM Bookstore or Starbucks gift card. A draw will take place once per term, beginning in Fall 2025 with the contest beginning on the first day of classes and ending on the last day of classes. As you complete webinars, we encourage you to share your insights with the UMAE by leading a facilitated discussion on what you've learned-what stood out, what was useful, and how it applies to our work. This is an open invitation. If you're interested, please reply to this email so we can coordinate. As the summer rush begins, we will not hold another UMAE meeting until Fall. Our goal is to resume with recurring monthly meetings starting then. Stay tuned for more details. Wishing you all a wonderful and restful summer!

Aurora Modernization Project Updates for June 2025
by Elfie Smith 26 May '25

26 May '25

Hello everyone, We want to provide you with an important update regarding the Launch Date of the Major, Minor, Declaration Workflow being developed as part of the Aurora Modernization Project. We continue working hard to provide students with a smooth and seamless experience. Given the complexity of this customization in Self-Service 8, we need a bit more time to achieve this goal. As such, the launch date for this Workflow will be pushed out to later this fall. In the meantime, students will continue using existing functionality in Self-Service 8 (Aurora Classic) to declare a Major, Minor or Concentration online. More information to follow on upcoming consultation sessions and demo of the new Workflow. A reminder that the online Major, Minor, Concentration declarations will open for students on Monday, June 9th. We have a few new features using Workflow that will be going live for students in June: * Transit from University 1 * Requests for College Membership * Completion of the Gym Waiver As always, refer to the Aurora Modernization Project SharePoint site to find helpful information or report an issue: Aurora Modernization Project<https://umanitoba.sharepoint.com/:u:/r/sites/um-intranet-aurora-modernizati…> Take care, Elfie Elfie Smith, BComm, MA (she/her) Associate Registrar & Director of Service and Records University of Manitoba https://umanitoba.ca/registrar Student Affairs - Leaders in cultivating exceptional student experiences The University of Manitoba campuses are located on original lands of the Anishinaabeg, Cree, Anisininew, Dakota, and Dene peoples, and on the National homeland of the Red River Métis.
