HELLO Returning DH3 Students (Class of 2027)!

I hope you are enjoying summer!

Please read all of the following:

Please find attached a weekly schedule for Fall 2026. As of now, unless there is a major change to the schedule I will not be updating these documents but making changes in UM Learn, so please ensure that you are checking the UM Learn schedule for changes.

The Office of Professionalism at the Rady Faculty of Health Sciences have set up a pizza lunch information session to review some Rady Faculty policy updates regarding the Professional Unsuitability By-Law and revisions to the Prevention of Learner Mistreatment policy (this is not a required orientation). Registration is required for this lunch event. Please use the following link to register:

As per University of Manitoba Senate policy, you are required to submit a yearly Criminal Record (including vulnerable sector screening). Please note that if you fail to obtain a Criminal Record report with the Vulnerable Sector Screening portion completed, you will be required to re-apply, pay for and obtain the correct document. A hold may be placed on your academic record pending the receipt of any outstanding documents. Restrictions on your participation in clinical activities will be imposed until all documents have been received and cleared by the College.

The School of Dental Hygiene will be reaching out with further information regarding immunization. Please ensure that any forms are complete and ready for submission by the posted deadline. Students with outstanding immunization requirements may be blocked from participation in clinical activities.

Orientation attachments/videos, etc., will be available on UM Learn through your general schedule course unless specifically tied to a course and uploaded by your instructors.

As you are aware, it is necessary that you attend all Orientation events as scheduled during the first weeks of your program. Please be reminded that the School has an Attendance Policy and that the failure to meet the policy may have academic implications for you. You are expected to be available from Monday to Friday, 8-5 pm, for the dental hygiene academic schedule.

Please remember that students are required to be available until the end of the final day of the scheduled examination period for your year, as well as potential additional clinical requirements (including clinical clearances). Please consider this when making travel arrangements around these schedules.

Winter term schedule information will be circulated later in the term. For a complete list of start and end dates/holidays/exam weeks/etc. of the term, please see the U of M Academic Schedule at the following links. Please note that Dental Hygiene has its own section/dates which differ from most other faculties/schools at the University. Note the School will not have a Fall break. https://umanitoba.ca/registrar/important-dates-deadlines https://umanitoba.ca/registrar/academic-calendar#pdf-academic-schedule

Opening Assembly, the College/School's official introduction of the first-year classes, will be held on September 9, 2026. Further information will be distributed later. You are welcome to attend this event.

Awards Evening will be November 19, 2026. Both events will start at 6 pm. Information on location will be sent closer to the event.

Be reminded that it is the responsibility of every student to obtain and maintain a University of Manitoba e-mail account (see policy at: http://umanitoba.ca/registrar/email_policy/). According to policy, the School will not support external e-mail addresses when communicating with our students. Students are reminded to check this e-mail account on a regular basis as it is considered the official means of communication by the School/University.

Bursary applications will be available on-line on AURORA Student (under the Financial Aid and Awards card) as of mid-August until October 1. A representative from Financial Aid and Awards will be able to answer any questions about bursaries.

If you have any questions regarding the attached schedules, please let me know.

If you need an new student ID card from the U of M's Registrar's Office at 400 University Ctr., Ft. Garry Campus. Attached is an information sheet on some 'Pop-Up' ID events at Bannatyne Campus for Summer 2026.

Best wishes for the year ahead!
