(2) Residence Housing

Students in the exchange program should apply for Residence housing as early as possible as space is limited; you do not need to wait until you receive your Acceptance Letter from the University of Manitoba.

In mid-2009, the Residence Office converted to an online residence application process. To view and print any of the forms on the following website, you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader.

The web address is: http://umanitoba.ca/student/housing/applications.htm

The first link is to Residence ONLINE Application. After logging on, the website will then lead you through the various steps of the online application process.

At a later time, you will be contacted by the Residence Office and given a Room Selection Timeslot to access in order to select a room. At any time you may contact the Residence Office to overcome any problems.

The usual and best choice for SLU student exchange residence accommodation has been the Arthur V. Mauro Residence.

If you are unable to use the online method to apply to live in residence, you can select, print and use the form "Alternate Residence Application Form" from the above website. Fax this form to Judy Powell (1-204-261-7251) and she will deliver it to the Residence Office.

If you do use the Residence ONLINE Application process, please email Judy Powell to let her know this has been done <judy_powell@umanitoba.ca> just so that we can feel confident that you are in the residence process.

Exchange students do not pay tuition at the University of Manitoba, however, on arrival and registration at the University of Manitoba, the student will expect to pay student union, etc. fees and also Manitoba International Students Health Insurance.

The health insurance premium is approximately $450 for a full year; it is pro-rated and payable at the beginning of each term. Students who are here for the winter term pay insurance for the period January to end of August. However, once they have a confirmed return air ticket, then on request the unused portion of the premium is refunded. Manitoba International Students Health Insurance must be paid even if you already have other insurance.

Following approval of your application for admission you will be sent a Letter of Acceptance from either Enrolment Services or the Faculty of Graduate Studies (depending on the level of courses you will be taking), and you will also receive from us our information booklet for exchange students.

Please contact us if you require any more assistance or information.
