Safety During International Travel Alert
by Jessica Fraser 21 Jan '19

21 Jan '19

Sent on behalf of Hope Anderson, Vice-Dean Graduate Studies, Rady Faculty of Health Sciences Dear Colleagues: Recent events have called attention to increasing global political instability and the importance of safety during international travel. Following the recent advice of Foreign Affairs Minister Freeland, we want to advise that the university community follow Government of Canada travel advisories at all times. As such, until more information is available, university-related student and staff travel to areas with changing travel advisories, such as China, is to be postponed. Faculty may wish to limit travel as well. Our hope is that the situation will be resolved soon, and that this will not impact our many valued partnerships with Chinese institutions. If communications with partner institutions are required in order to explain why travel is being postponed, the International Centre<mailto:kennis.fung@umanitoba.ca?subject=Advice%20on%20communications%20with%20Chinese%20partners%20> is available to support. We encourage faculty, staff and students to use the following resources for all travel: * International SOS<http://umanitoba.ca/research/international_centre/emergency_contact.html> - This is University of Manitoba's first point of contact in an emergency and a valuable resource for pre-travel advice. It provides comprehensive medical and travel security assistance service. They are available 24/7, 365 days per year, and free to faculty, students, and staff. You can call our dedicated number<http://umanitoba.ca/research/international_centre/emergency_contact.html>, register online<http://umanitoba.ca/research/international_centre/emergency_contact.html> and/or request your free International SOS card from the International Centre<http://umanitoba.ca/research/international_centre/emergency_contact.html>. * Registration of Canadians Abroad<https://travel.gc.ca/travelling/registration> - this is a free service that allows the Government of Canada to quickly locate you and provide support in case of an emergency abroad.

Aurora Shutdown
by Jessica Fraser 13 Nov '18

13 Nov '18

Hello everyone, As you know, Aurora INB will be shutting down from November 21 - 26 due to the Banner 9 upgrade. Per the email from the Registrar's Office, the shutdown will prevent any transcript orders. Subsequently, kindly remind your students to order their transcripts early as the Aurora shutdown may impact their ability to complete their Tri-Agency CGSM application, which is due on December 3rd. Each year, at least one application is deemed ineligible for failing to submit current and up to date U of M transcripts. In particular, this is an issue for students who are in the first year of their Master's program at U of M. There seems to be misconception that they do not need to submit these transcripts because they do not have grades from the fall courses. Please ensure that students are made aware of this requirement. Thank you and please do not hesitate to ask if you need further clarification.
