The attached document is for your students areas, I would so appreciate if it can be posted so all can see For your fellow coworkers, if a reminder email can be sent requesting them to update their mailing address in ESS (if required)- side note: while the bulk of the employees receive electronic copies and /or are mailed to the department however we have a large number of employees that might end/or have ended before T slips are printed at which point we mail them to the address on file (i.e. not in an active status, EE on leaves etc) Students need to update Aurora and if they have payments from HRIS system they will also need to send in a change request to hris(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:hris@umanitoba.ca> . Employees that do not have access to ESS will need to submit their request to hris(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:hris@umanitoba.ca> . If the student updated their info in Aurora before end of day Jan 29/2016 we will be able to capture the correct data on the student side for T4A from Banner. ESS and emails - changes received after Feb 4/2016 cannot be guaranteed for T4 / T4A from HRIS System We receive large numbers of returned T slips and request for reprints every year and we are hoping this will help to reduce those numbers As always I apprecaite your help!

Fwd: [Gs-department-heads] Continuous Registration/Summer Term Registration
by Paul Bullock 21 Jan '16

21 Jan '16

FYI ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Dean of Graduate Studies <deanfgs(a)umanitoba.ca> Date: Thu, Jan 21, 2016 at 2:30 PM Subject: [Gs-department-heads] Continuous Registration/Summer Term Registration To: Graduate Communications <Graduate.Communications(a)umanitoba.ca> [image: University of Manitoba Faculty of Graduate Studies] NOTICE: Commencing Summer Term 2016, all continuing Faculty of Graduate Studies students will be required to register in Summer Term in order to maintain continuous registration. Students in Faculty of Graduate Studies programs are required to maintain continuous registration throughout their period of study and until completion of the degree. Exceptions are permitted for students who have been granted an exceptional or a parental leave of absence. Students who have been granted a regular leave of absence must maintain continuous registration. Registration for Summer Term will open the week of March 21, 2016 – specific registration times will be visible in Aurora in early March. The deadline to register for Summer Term is May 6, 2016. As is the case in Fall and Winter Terms, students who fail to register may be subject to discontinuance from their program. In past years, students have been required to register in each Fall and Winter Term, with Winter Term registration considered to extend through to the end of Summer. Formal registration in Summer Term has not been required. However, problems have been identified with respect to this past practice, including: modification of the tax credit program to provide 12 months of credit with only 8 months of registration; and liability issues with respect to unregistered students participating in laboratory and field work activities. To address these concerns, all Faculty of Graduate Studies students who are continuing in their programs beyond Winter Term 2016 will be required to register in Summer Term. Those students who are not enrolled in course work will be required to register in the applicable Masters or PhD courses: Thesis, Comprehensive or Candidacy Exam, Studio, Re-Registration, Practicum, etc. This change does not affect the three weeks of vacation over a 12 month period to which students are entitled. Students will be referred to their academic unit for direction as to which course(s) to enroll in. Students will not be assessed Program Fees or Continuing Fees in Summer Term. Applicable student organization and ancillary fees will be assessed. Students will be advised to contact their department or academic unit for further information regarding registration procedures in Summer Term. j ------------------------------ Faculty of Graduate Studies · 500 University Centre · Facebook <http://www.facebook.com/umgradstudies/> · Twitter <http://www.twitter.com/umgradstudies/> · FGS Website <http://umanitoba.ca/graduate_studies/> ------------------------------ -- Dr. Paul Bullock Professor and Head Department of Soil Science University of Manitoba Winnipeg, MB R3T 2N2 Phone: (204) 474-8666 Fax: (204) 474-7642 Email: Paul.Bullock(a)umanitoba.ca <Paul_Bullock(a)umanitoba.ca> Webpage: umanitoba.ca/afs/soil_science/

Thanks for going through them and letting us know. I am copying the students and others involved so they know that the set of photos we have for 2015 is okay for public use.

CanU debriefing meeting notes
by Paul Bullock 03 Jan '16

03 Jan '16

Ike, Happy New Year. Sorry for the delay in getting the CanU debrief meeting notes compiled. I have attached a word summary and the white board notes. These will be useful for refining the Soil Science module. We had discussed having a small CanU group within SSGSA for future offerings of the program (see notes). At this time, I do not have any indication about the program's future but it would be a reasonable expectation that it would continue. I will leave it up to the SSGSA to decide how best to archive this information and have it ready for future offerings of the program. I have sent a set of the photos in which the CanU students are shown to Amberlee. She is to let us know which of these we could show in a public forum. Maywood and Ahmed also took a lot of photos just showing the setup of the activities. These will be a useful resource for future planning. Just one further note, I gave Amberlee a list of the Soil Science students who participated in the CanU program, so they can be recognized for their work.
