Student Affairs: Leaders in cultivating exceptional student experiences.
I acknowledge that the University of Manitoba campuses are located on original lands of Anishinaabeg, Cree, Ojibwe-Cree, Dakota and Dene peoples, and on the homeland of the Red River Métis. I respect the Treaties that were made on these territories, I acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past, and I dedicate myself to move forward in partnership with Indigenous communities in a spirit of Reconciliation and collaboration.

Dear colleagues,
We would like to inform you that in anticipation of a possible Postal Service disruption, Manitoba Student Aid (MSA) stopped sending items out through the mail on October 30, 2024.
As an interim measure, MSA will email letters to clients or call them to convey information as appropriate, with physical correspondence to be sent out once the service disruption is lifted.
