Hello UMAE! Please see message below from Shanda Vitt from Student Accessibility Services.

Hi All,
We have been hearing from students who are registered with SAS that advisors have mentioned they should have an advanced registration time. This is incorrect.
Advanced registration is a very specific accommodation that is only available to a small percentage of SAS students, not available to all SAS students by default.
Advanced registration is intended for students who are using SAS staff (ie: ASL interpreters, transcriptionists, academic attendants) to ensure we have more time to schedule, hire, and train staff. While there may be other circumstances to consider the accommodation, the student must discuss this with their SAS Accessibility Coordinator directly.
If a student is asking about their registration date and discloses that they are an SAS student, please know that advanced registration dates have been applied to all who have the approved accommodation for it. If a student is unsure why they do not have it, please feel free to refer them back to us.
Let me know if there are any questions!
Thank you,
Ali Wood-Warren (she) Director Student Transitions and Success Centre 205 Tier Building 431 275-0984 umanitoba.ca/firstyearhttps://umanitoba.ca/firstyear [University of Manitoba logo]

I am grateful to the Anishinaabeg, Ininewuk, Anisininewuk, Dakota Oyate, Dene, and the Red River Metis peoples, on whose home lands I live. I am also grateful to the people of Shoal Lake 40 in Treaty 3 territory, whose water I drink.
