University 1 is a distinct feature of the University of Manitoba - no other university in Canada provides students the freedom of the University 1 approach to first year studies. University 1 provides a first year that is as unique as each student's interests and abilities. Your first year of university is a big step toward accomplishing your future goals and the University of Manitoba is committed to helping you succeed.

IMPORTANT: University 1 students, who are ineligible to transit to the Faculty of Arts because their cumulative GPA is less than 2.00, should contact a Student Advisor in the Dean’s Office to see if admission to Arts is possible under a special consideration category.
