Application Process

Home |
There are
two separate application packages. You will complete only one, depending
on the route you plan to take: academic credit (in either degree or diploma)
or non-credit options.
All academic credit option students must meet the minimum University
of Manitoba admission requirements. Upon successful completion, you will
receive a grade for the course based on the evaluation strategy designated
for the course.
Non-credit option students are not required to meet admission requirements,
nor will they be required to complete assignments or examinations. No
grade for the course will be issued.
Once you have decided which option is appropriate for your needs (check
the Frequently Asked Questions sheet to assist
you in this decision), follow the appropriate guidelines for application
as outlined below.
Academic Credit Option:
- Students interested in the organic course as an academic credit must complete the Application for Admission Form.
- Students who will not transfer credit for this course to their institution should check off 'Special' under #3. Faculty Data at the bottom of the first page.
- Students from another academic institution wishing to take the course for credit within their own home institution program should send a Letter of Permission from their institution to demonstrate that the selected course will be accepted as a credit in their programs. These students must check off the box 'Visiting Student' under #4. Faculty Data at the top of Page 2.
- Students must arrange to have transcripts sent to the University of Manitoba from any previously attended academic institutions. These must arrive at U of M prior to the application deadline.
- A non-refundable
$80.00 registration fee must accompany your application. Tuition fees
will be due upon acceptance and therefore, should not accompany your
application.
- Unless you are a current University of Manitoba student, all distance students are considered visiting or non-program students - acceptance into these courses does NOT constitute acceptance into any U of M programs.
- Complete the Materials Order Form and return with payment.
- The cheque for the books will be cashed only after tuition fees are paid.
- Upon review of your application, you will receive a letter outlining your status. Further information will be mailed to you at this time.

you receive confirmation of admission, you will then register on-line
through www.umanitoba.ca.
