Message from Laurie Schnarr, Vice-Provost (Students)

Dear students,

Over the past few weeks, we shared four adjusted academic schedules with you that were established as a result of time lost during the labour disruption. I am now confirming with you the final dates that were passed today in Senate, the academic governing body of the university. These are the dates that we will be using for the remainder of Fall Term 2021 and for Winter Term 2022.

I am very pleased to announce that adjustments have been made to the previously released academic schedule to allow for a full Winter Term Break (Reading Week) during the initially scheduled time of February 22 to 25, 2022. Specifically, the length of the Winter Term exam period was compressed and those exams are now restricted to a maximum of 2 hours. We know this time is important to you, and I hope that you will find the Winter Term Break restorative.

As communicated previously, there will be no classes or exams held during the university closure that is scheduled for December 24, 2021, through January 4, 2022.

Student Affairs: Creating opportunities for student success!

I acknowledge, with humility and gratitude, that the University of Manitoba campuses are located on original lands of the Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota, and Dene peoples, and on the homeland of the Métis Nation. As a white settler of English and German descent I am committed to walking alongside my Indigenous colleagues, friends and neighbours and doing the work that is necessary to honour the truth, right the wrongs, and contribute to lasting positive change.
