First Year Planning Guide launch and Get Ready to Register
Good morning,
We are pleased to share that the First Year Centre has launched the online and interactive version of the 2026-2027 First Year Planning Guidehttps://umanitoba.ca/current-students/first-year#section-2 (FYPG).
In collaboration with our faculty partners and the Admissions office, we have created a user-friendly resource to support newly admitted students as they navigate course selection, timetabling, and registration.
All incoming direct-entry students will be led to the online guide prior to registration through Recruitment’s email communications. They will also be invited and encouraged to attend the Get Ready to Registerhttps://umanitoba.ca/current-students/first-year#section-4 series, where they will learn how to use the guide to plan and register for first-year courses.
Please feel free to direct students to this resource as they prepare for course registration.
The guide is available at: https://umanitoba.ca/current-students/first-yearhttps://umanitoba.ca/current-students/first-year/planning (in both interactive and PDF formats)
If the 2025-2026 version appears in your browser, refresh the page or clear your cache to access the updated content.
We encourage you to forward this email to all staff (advisors, reception staff, communications specialists, etc.) who support first year students. If you have any questions about the FYPG, please do not hesitate to contact a member of the First Year Centre team.
Thanks!

The University of Manitoba campuses and research spaces are located on original lands of Anishinaabeg, Ininiwak, Anisininewuk, Dakota Oyate, Dene and Inuit, and on the National Homeland of the Red River Métis. UM recognizes that the Treaties signed on these lands are a lifelong, enduring relationship, and we are dedicated to upholding their spirit and intent. We acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past and the present. With this understanding, we commit to supporting Indigenous excellence through active Reconciliation, meaningful change, and the creation of an environment where everyone can thrive. Our collaboration with Indigenous communities is grounded in respect and reciprocity and this guides how we move forward as an institution.
