You are receiving this email because you are currently registered for Fall 2013 courses at the University of Manitoba. If you will not attend the U of M this term, you must withdraw from your courses before September 18th*. Graduate Studies students who are unable to continue studies this term must contact their department<http://fgs-webap.cc.umanitoba.ca/contacts/index.php?contact=suppstaff> regarding a Leave of Absence. To all U of M students, The Fall Term 2013 Registration Revision Period ends September 18th, 2013.** The Registration Revision Period can be used to attend classes, test out your classroom experience and determine if you will remain registered in the courses you have selected or if changes should be made. During the Registration Revision Period, you may: * Add a new class if you changed your mind about your course subjects, or if a course that was previously full is now available * Drop a class and receive a tuition refund * Switch a lecture or lab to a more preferred day/time September 18th, 2013 is the last day to make changes to your Fall 2013 or Fall 2013/Winter 2014 registration. Fees resulting from changes to your registration are due September 18th. Fee Payment: * Students with outstanding fees after the September 4th fee payment deadline have already been assessed late fees. * A further $40 late fee will be applied to accounts outstanding after September 18th and students will be placed on Hold. Students on Hold will need faculty/school advising office assistance to withdraw from courses. * Students with outstanding fee balances may be subject to de-registration of courses that begin in Winter Term. Remember: * Students who do not withdraw from their fall term and fall/winter term spanned courses by September 18th will be required to pay the full tuition and fees for all courses in which they are registered even if they do not attend classes. * Once the Revision Period is over, students are no longer able to add new classes, or to switch the day/time for lectures and labs - you may still Voluntarily Withdraw from a class, but will not receive a tuition refund. * Be cautious of adding a new course too late in the Registration Revision Period - you may have missed a number of classes, and have assignments due right away. If you don't get space in a course within the first few days of the Revision period, late registration may not be a good idea.

There will be no access restrictions for those travelling to and from campus on foot, by bike or by bus. This Sunday's Winnipeg Blue Bombers "Banjo Bowl" game against the Saskatchewan Roughriders is one of five remaining "Event Days" scheduled at Investors Group Field this year.

Those students, staff and faculty members with valid U of M parking permits who wish to access campus by vehicle between 5:30 p.m. and 11 p.m. must enter via Kings Drive. This dedicated entrance is to be used only by U of M permit holders, providing a shorter, easier route of entry. After 5:30 p.m., those permit holders wanting to access U of M lots via University Crescent or Chancellor Matheson will be rerouted to the Kings Drive entrance. If you are unsure where the Kings Drive entrance is located, or how to access it, please follow this link to view a detailed map: http://goo.gl/maps/rh4qI Permit parkers can use any of the following lots, regardless of the letter which appears on their pass: - A Lot - B Lot - L Lot - AC Lot (southeast corner of Freedman Crescent) - CTC Lot at the Crop Technology Centre - D Lot (June-August only) - R Lot (June-August only) Students who are registered for a class on Friday evening should have already received an email outlining how to obtain a temporary evening parking pass through Parking Services. On event days, access to campus is not restricted for those travelling by foot, bike or bus, only those travelling by car. For those cycling to campus, the university has thousands of bike parking spots, which can be found here: http://umanitoba.ca/campus/parking/media/Bike_Rack_Locations.pdf In addition, all regularly-scheduled Winnipeg Transit buses will be running, although there may be some delays due to increased road traffic. For more information about access to campus and parking on event days, please visit http://investorsgroupfield.ca/ Up-to-date info and regular reminders on event day activities can also be found on Twitter by following @UMoutstanding. The U of M map has added a handy stadium layer, as well, which outlines U of M-only parking on event days: http://umanitoba.ca/maps/ Remaining Summer 2013 Event Days: - Monday, August 12 - Sir Paul McCartney concert - Event starts at 8 p.m., access and parking restrictions begin at 6:30 p.m. - Friday, August 16 - Winnipeg Blue Bombers game - Event starts at 7 p.m., access and parking restrictions begin at 5:30 p.m. Thank you for your continued patience and support as we navigate this opening season at Investors Group Field. I encourage all of you to take in an event at the new stadium. Having superior spaces like Investors Group Field serve the students, staff and faculty of our university, making for a more dynamic, innovative and community-focused campus.

June 27 Event Day Access and Parking
by all-students＠lists.umanitoba.ca 26 Jun '13

26 Jun '13

[cid:image001.jpg@01CE727D.006B3EF0] The home opener for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers takes place tomorrow evening at Investors Group Field. Many improvements, including dedicated bus lanes, have been made by the City of Winnipeg and the Winnipeg Football Club over the past week in an effort to keep traffic moving to and from Investors Group Field. Some congestion is still to be expected, however, and those travelling to the University of Manitoba to work, study or attend class, are asked to plan their route accordingly. Some things to remember are: 1. Parking restrictions begin at 6 p.m. but football fans are expected to arrive earlier. The Event Day Transportation and Parking Plan goes into effect 90 minutes before the opening ceremonies begin at 7:30 p.m. Winnipeg Football Club personnel will be out helping guide early incoming traffic to appropriate parking lots. 2. Vehicles with U of M parking permits can park in assigned lots beginning at 4:30 p.m. Those vehicles with U of M parking permits can begin parking in the assigned U of M lots beginning at 4:30 p.m. and must be vacated from all other lots by 6 p.m. The assigned lots for U of M permit parkers are: A Lot, B Lot, L Lot, AC Lot (southeast corner of Freedman Crescent), CTC Lot at the Crop Technology Centre 3. Vehicles without a valid parking pass must move off campus by 6 p.m. Parking permits are not required between 4:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. in most university parking lots, however all vehicles without a U of M parking permit must be moved off campus by 6 p.m. 4. Kings Drive entrance is reserved after 6 p.m. for U of M students, faculty and staff. Students, faculty and staff with U of M parking permits are asked to enter and exit the campus via Kings Drive beginning at 6 p.m. Having a dedicated entrance is intended to cut down on wait times for members of the U of M community when accessing or exiting campus. We are encouraging accessing campus for parking as well as drop offs thru Kings Drive prior to 6 p.m. to avoid any early Event Day traffic. 5. Winnipeg Transit will be running as scheduled. Winnipeg Transit has increased its fleet to and from the University. Regularly scheduled buses will continue to stop on campus before, during and after the game. Winnipeg Transit will monitor and add buses to the regularly scheduled routes as required. 6. City of Winnipeg Traffic Services As early as 3:30 you will see City of Winnipeg Traffic Services setting up traffic flow changes for the event. Winnipeg Police Services will be assisting with traffic control beginning at 4:30 p.m. on University Crescent. We are working to ensure that students, staff and faculty who are scheduled to be on campus during an event can access and exit from campus in an efficient way. We ask for your patience, as well as your input, as we continue to improve the event day experience for members of our community. Further information, including answers to some frequently asked questions, can be found at: http://investorsgroupfield.ca/university/ The university's Parking Services website also has relevant information. You can find it here: http://umanitoba.ca/campus/parking/igf.html For event day reminders and updates please follow @UMoutstanding on Twitter. The next two event days are July 19 and July 26, both Friday evening football games that begin at 7 p.m. Thank you for your continued patience and support as we navigate this opening season at Investors Group Field. I encourage all of you to take in an event at the new stadium. Having superior spaces like Investors Group Field serve the students, staff and faculty of our university, making for a more dynamic, innovative and community-focused campus.
