Finishing up Fall term...looking to Winter
by Ali Wood-Warren 17 Dec '24

17 Dec '24

Good Afternoon UMAE! I'm writing to with an update around UMAE meetings and to share some exciting news about the Charge Ahead Peer Mentorship program (Charge Ahead). I am happy to announce that Usman Rana has been hired into the Student Transitions Lead position, replacing Stephanie Young who has moved on to work with our colleagues in Admissions. Some of you may know Usman as he has been with Charge Ahead as a mentor since its inception and took on a leadership role over the recent Summer and Fall terms. Usman is a graduate of the Faculty of Science and brings with him passion, enthusiasm, and expertise around helping students achieve their best in both academics and personal endeavors. I am very excited to have Usman in this role and look forward to the exciting initiatives to come out of the Student Transitions and Success Centre. Along the same lines, this is also a "Save the Date" for the Grand Opening of the new Charge Ahead Program space in room 107 Tier. Formerly a student lounge for President's Scholars, we have been able to convert the room into a warm, friendly, and inviting space for students to drop in, attend individual meetings with Mentors, and to offer student success workshops. Our Grand Opening celebration will be held on January 30, 2025 from 10-2. We'll send a more formal invitation to the opening in January. And finally...unfortunately, we were unable to connect regularly over the Fall term, so to prevent that from happening again, you'll see below a tentative schedule for UMAE meetings to be held in Winter term. I will send Outlook invitations with meeting agendas in the new year, but please note these dates in the meantime. January 28, 9-11 am February 25, 9-11 am March 25, 9-11 am April 22, 9-11 am As we wrap up Fall 2024, I encourage you to reflect on the impact you've had on students both individually and collectively. As advisors, we have an opportunity to deeply impact students and I can say with certainty that there are thousands of students who achieved their personal best this term, whatever that means for them, because they connected with us. I am certainly proud of the work we do as advisors and I hope you all are as well. I wish all of you a warm and cozy holiday season filled with yummy treats, lots of laughter, love, and peace. Until 2025...

FW: New IRCC Exemption - Now Official
by Ali Wood-Warren 13 Dec '24

13 Dec '24

Good Afternoon, An update from ICM around changes to IRCC impacting students beginning at UM in January. The email below was sent to students completing ICM. If you have questions from students, please remind them to fill out the survey in the email they received so that ICM folks can consider all possible scenarios. Students should be referred to ICM for the most accurate and up to date info. Have a great weekend!

Robert Daudet (he/him) College Director & Principal [ICM logo consisting of the letters icm listed in gray font and a green swoosh appearing above it] International College of Manitoba 190 Extended Education Complex University of Manitoba Winnipeg, MB Canada R3T 2N2 From: Robert Daudet <Robert.Daudet(a)navitas.com<mailto:Robert.Daudet@navitas.com>> Sent: Thursday, December 12, 2024 4:31 PM To: Robert Daudet <Robert.daudet(a)icmanitoba.ca<mailto:Robert.daudet@icmanitoba.ca>> Subject: New IRCC Exemption - Now Official [https://learning.icmanitoba.ca/images/icm_email_header.jpg] Dear [recipient], You are receiving this email because you could potentially finish your ICM program this term, based on your completed credit hours and current ICM course load and/or have applied to the UM to start studies in January 2025. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has officially published the exemption criteria on the IRCC website<https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-ca…>, clarifying who can continue to pursue studies at another Designated Learning Institution (DLI) in the Winter 2025 semester. You can start studying at your new DLI (i.e.: the UM) if you: * have been accepted to a DLI for the Winter 2025 semester, and * have applied for a study permit extension, and * have a study permit that remains valid and that doesn't have the DLI name printed on it, and * meet all your existing study permit conditions Further, to progress to the UM, you must: * achieve ICM's completion requirements of a minimum of 30 unique credit hours of courses with a minimum 2.00 GPA, and * meet UM eligibility entrance requirements to the UM faculty you've applied for If you meet these criteria, you can attend the UM as a full-time student while your study permit extension is being processed. This means you do not need to continue ICM studies in January if you meet the criteria above. We strongly encourage you to apply for your study permit extension for the UM as soon as possible so you can commence your studies on time. You will need to apply for your study permit extension before you start your studies at the UM in January. Due to these changes, ICM will not be introducing new courses in the January 2025 term, as we expect students who are eligible to progress to the UM will do so, as opposed to taking an additional term with us as a visiting student. To help us have the most current information possible as we explore each possible scenario, we ask that you complete a survey<https://machform.icmanitoba.ca/view.php?id=734456> at your earliest convenience (thank you to those who already have!). Again, I want to sincerely thank you for your patience and understanding as we've worked to find you answers to the latest IRCC changes. Warm regards, Robert Daudet College Director and Principal

From: Marcia Davies <Marci.Davies(a)umanitoba.ca> Sent: Monday, December 9, 2024 9:05 AM To: All Student Affairs Staff <st-affairs-all(a)lists.umanitoba.ca> Subject: [St-affairs-all] Message to UM Students: December 9, 2024 Hello, please note that the following message will be sent to all students this morning. [Graphical user interface Description automatically generated with low confidence] Message from Laurie Schnarr, Vice-Provost (Students) Dear students, Fall Term 2024 is drawing to a close and Tuesday, December 10 marks the beginning of the final exam period<https://umanitoba.ca/registrar/final-exams/final-exam-schedule> for many faculties. Knowing that this can be a stressful time, I would like to share some information about resources and supports that you may find helpful over the next two weeks. As you prepare for your exams, I encourage you to access the Content and Study Skills tutors<https://umanitoba.ca/student-supports/academic-supports/academic-learning/t…> at the Academic Learning Centre (ALC). They continue to hold one-to-one appointments throughout the exam period. Various other resources are offered through the ALC<https://umanitoba.ca/student-supports/academic-supports/academic-learning/t…>, such as Writing tutors and specialized supports for graduate students. Academic Advisors<https://umanitoba.ca/student-supports/academic-supports/academic-advising> are also available to you until the last day of exams on December 20. Often a key part of exam preparation is finding a study space<https://news.umanitoba.ca/finding-space-to-study/> that works for you. If you are in need of a space, UM Libraries<https://umanitoba.ca/libraries/help-and-services/get-help> are open and you can find their hours, study space options<https://news.umanitoba.ca/finding-space-to-study/>, and information about their satellite locations on their website. We recognize that for some students, personal circumstances necessitate studying during non-traditional hours. A dedicated quiet space with on-site staff has been designated for studying throughout the period December 9 at 8:00 a.m. - December 20 at 4:30 p.m. in the St. John's College Library, 3rd floor, St. John's College.

For further details and conditions for using this space, refer to this UM Today story<https://news.umanitoba.ca/24-7-study-space-available-during-exams>. Prioritizing your well-being during this intense period of academic study is vitally important. If you are in need of some support in this area, don't hesitate to reach out and explore the resources available<https://umanitoba.ca/student-supports/student-health-and-wellness/student-c…> to you. The teams at the Student Wellness Centre<https://umanitoba.ca/student-supports/student-wellness>, Healthy U<https://umanitoba.ca/student-supports/health-wellness/healthy-u> and the Student Counselling Centre<https://umanitoba.ca/student-supports/student-health-and-wellness/student-c…> are available to offer space, resources and an opportunity to talk through challenges. Visit their websites for more information and hours during the exam period. Exam deferrals are a privilege. Although rare, there may be extenuating circumstances that impact your ability to write your final exam as scheduled. Be sure to review valid and non-valid reasons<https://news.umanitoba.ca/exam-deferral-selfdeclaration/> for deferred exams and where to get support. To fuel your study sessions or to grab a bite between exams, UM Campus Services<https://umanitoba.ca/campus-services> will continue to operate. If you are craving something in particular, be sure to check the hours of operation for individual food outlets to avoid disappointment, especially on weekends. Members of the Student Affairs team are also offering free coffee and healthy treats throughout the exam period: * During the evening on December 11 in the tunnel network between the University Centre and Asper, look for free coffee and treats handed out by Spiritual Care<https://umanitoba.ca/student-supports/spiritual-services> in partnership with UMSU Degrees Diner! * On December 12 from 12:00 - 1:00 p.m. come to the Connection Desk<https://umanitoba.ca/current-students/SEAD/connection-desk> 109 UMSU University Centre for a free doughnut and affirmation to help power you through the day: Donut Stress, You've Got This! * On December 13 from 10 a.m. - 12 p.m. in the Fletcher hallway and again 12 - 2 p.m. in the Armes hallway, swing by the Charge Ahead<https://umanitoba.ca/student-supports/academic-supports/charge-ahead> table for coffee, snacks and good vibes to keep you going! * On December 16 from 12 - 2 p.m. stop by the Student Wellness Centre<https://umanitoba.ca/student-supports/student-wellness> (SWC) in Room 162 Extended Education to grab some free snacks, play board games, study, or relax! Keep an eye out for SWC staff as they visit high traffic areas around campus to hand out some study fuel! A great way to clear your head and support your mental well-being is to stay active. All UM students, through the Sport and Rec fee, have access to UM sport and recreation facilities, casual rec use spaces, and group fitness classes<https://umanitoba.ca/community/sport-recreation/recreation-services/group-f…> on both the Fort Garry and Bannatyne campuses.

Good Morning UM Advisors! I thought I'd share that UM Today includes an article entitled : Support for unforeseen circumstances during exam period when you need it most. The article talks about use of the self-dec form for deferred exams and directs students to appropriate resources and supports. You may start to see an increase in students seeking info about what they've read. You can read the article here: https://news.umanitoba.ca/exam-deferral-selfdeclaration/. Also, a reminder on this Giving Tuesday<https://www.givingtuesday.org/> that the UM Foodbank helps over 600 of our students every month! Please include the UM Foodbank when thinking about the ways that we as advisors, can help students, beyond academic advice. The need never stops. The UM Foodbank webpage<https://umanitoba.ca/financial-aid-and-awards/u-m-food-bank> has information and direction on how to donate. Wishing you warmth on this cold and snowy day!

FW: November 29th Comms to ICM Students
by Ali Wood-Warren 29 Nov '24

29 Nov '24

Good Morning Advisors... Good news for ICM students! Please see the update from Robert Daudet. Happy weekend! Ali Wood-Warren (she) Director, Student Transitions and Success Centre 205 Tier Building Tel: 431 275-0984 [cid:image003.png@01DB4241.B44E9D40] Leaders in cultivating exceptional student experiences!

I am also grateful to the people of Shoal Lake 40 in Treaty 3 territory, whose water I drink. Subject: November 29th Comms to ICM Students Caution! This message was sent from outside the University of Manitoba. Good morning, Please find attached the latest communication that has gone out to ICM students who planned on transferring to the UM at the end of this term. More to come as other supports and processes are finalized. Main takeaways from today's communication: UM Admission Status * Students who applied to UM for the January start term will have their January application updated to General Studies as a Visiting Student. Admission to General Studies as a Visiting Student will allow ICM students to register in coursework at the UM for the Winter 2025 term. This will allow you to continue your studies with no delays. * The UM will also move your transfer application for degree studies to May 2025 start term (no additional application fee). * Documents by both ICM and UM will be provided to help support your study permit application for this transition to UM for May 2025. * Upon receipt of your new study permit for the UM, and upon meeting the entrance requirements to your selected program, you will be eligible to transfer in the May term (assuming your study permit is only approved after the start of classes in January and prior to the start of classes in May). Course Registration Options: * We are in the process of identifying additional UM courses that can be offered at ICM to keep you on track academically, allowing you to pursue your second year of academic studies. * A full courseload must be maintained between ICM and UM courses (as a visiting student), with compliance and support primarily provided by ICM. You will continue to have access to supports and services at both ICM and the UM as you have in the past. * We understand that course registration is a stressful process in the best of times, and these recent changes will add to the stress levels immediately prior to exam time. To help students in this difficult circumstance, we will introduce a new priority registration timeslot as part of ICM enrolment, allowing all those who have 30 credit hours or more have first selection at courses when returning student enrolment opens on Thursday, December 19th. Thanks for all your support this week (as always)! Happy Friday.

Attached is a copy of a communication that went out to all students who could potentially have 30 credit hours completed at the end of the current academic term (regardless if they applied to the UM or not). We're actively working with Jeff and Erin on a plan that will allow students to continue studies in January term - this proposal is now with UM senior leadership and we anticipate hearing back from them today. Assuming this proposal is approved, a second round of communications will be shared with students, at which time I'll share those with you too. As you get questions come through, if there are common themes, please let me know. We are working with an immigration lawyer to host additional workshops and one-on-one sessions for students.

Registration in New Aurora - Accessing Support
by Elfie Smith 25 Nov '24

25 Nov '24

Hello everyone, Thank you to those who have reached out with questions about registration in New Aurora! Group Chats: We wanted to remind everyone about how to access support and get answers to your questions. Unfortunately, we have not been able to monitor multiple chats on Teams regarding the change. There were several chats that were ongoing from separate meetings and sessions held previously and we indicated that those meeting chats could not be monitored on an ongoing basis as other supports would be in place. It became unmanageable to monitor all those separate chats to provide timely responses, and not one single chat group was inclusive of all stakeholders. Access Support: The best way to get answers to your questions about registration in new Aurora is to reach out to your direct support contact in the Registrar's Office.
