Hello everyone,
Moving registration to New Aurora represents a significant change for everyone who supports students and would like to thank everyone who has provided feedback and participated in various ways.
Please review the following information to prepare for the transition period as we move registration to New Aurora on November 21st:
Resources:
- We encourage you to become familiar with
Registration in New Aurora Reference Guide available under “Resources for Staff” on the
Aurora Modernization Project SharePoint site. We will continue to update the information in this resource based on questions we receive during the transition.
- Students can access updated information on the
registration website and the
Aurora website (note that content is currently being published, including How To videos, but will be available before go-live).
Access Direct Support
Staff across the UM Community who require support with registration in New Aurora will have direct access to an assigned team member in the Registrar’s Office as follows on the table below.
Please feel free to email your assigned contact with any questions you have or clarifications you need. This support will be in place while we go through the transition and as we ramp up for the start of the Winter 2025 term.

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.
We respect the Treaties that were made on these territories, we acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past, and we dedicate ourselves to move forward in partnership with Indigenous communities in a spirit
of Reconciliation and collaboration.
