Re: Revised UMGF Terms of Reference
by Rowena Krentz 16 Feb '17

16 Feb '17

Dear colleagues, Please find attached the revised UMGF Terms of Reference, which were recently approved by Senate and the Board of Governors. A notable change to the award pertains to the minimum GPA requirement. Whereas the previous regulations require a minimum GPA of 3.75 in the last 60 credit hours (or equivalent) of study, the new regulations require a minimum GPA of 3.75 in each of the last two years of study. This requirement is consistent with Tri-Council's GPA requirement for their Master's and Doctoral Awards. Any students selected and recommended under the former regulations before today's date will be deemed eligible. The following documents have been updated on our website http://umanitoba.ca/faculties/graduate_studies/funding/forms.html located at the bottom of the page under the "UMGF & MGS Information" heading: - UMGF Unit Guidelines 2017-2018 - UMGF Recommendation Form 2017-2018 - UMGF Award Holders Guide 2017-2018 If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to ask. Thank you Rowena ________________________________ Rowena Krentz B.Comm.
