In Summer Session, all students new to the University of Manitoba who have completed less than 24 credit hours at another post secondary institution are required to apply to University 1.

It provides the freedom to choose from a variety of academic disciplines, or the opportunity of satisfying established entry requirements to a desired faculty or school.
Students who have completed 24 credit hours or more of course work elsewhere can apply directly to a faculty or school.
Mature students are those who are over 21 years of age, do not meet high school requirements, have never attended another university/college or have completed less than 24 credit hours, and are either a Canadian citizen or permanent resident.

If you wish to attend lectures for a particular course(s) but do not want to complete the assignments or write the exams and, therefore, not receive a grade or any credit hours upon completion of the course, you can apply for admission to General Studies (Extended Education) as an Auditing Student. Auditing student admission is restricted to Canadian Citizens/Permanent Residents. No documentation other than the information requested on the application form is required for admission purposes, however, it is highly recommended that students obtain permission to audit a course from the instructor prior to applying for admission. If, at some point, you wish to take a course for credit, you are required to apply for admission to another applicant category. Written consent to audit a course is required from the course instructor before registration can be approved by the Dean/Director’s representative.
Go to Undergraduate Admissions – Auditing Students for more information, or contact General studies, 204-474-7154/8330 or e-mail generalstudies@umanitoba.ca
