Frequently asked questions

GENERAL QUESTIONS

How do I get course outlines for Asper courses?

No hard copies of course outlines will be distributed in most Asper School courses. You can find the course outlines here: Asper Course Outlines.

How do I register for courses?

There is a tutorial available on the Registrar website. The information and tutorial are aimed primarily at Direct Entry High School students, however the information on how to use Aurora Student applies to everyone.

What is a prerequisite (prereq)?

Prerequisites are specific course that you are required to take before you register in a course.  Some courses will require high school prerequisites but others will require university level prerequisites. The prerequisite requirements of each course are listed online in Aurora Student in the Course Catalog (which can be linked to through the Class Schedule by clicking View Catalog Entry).

What courses do I take to fulfil my degree requirements?

How do I know if I registered in the correct courses for my degree requirements?

Please stop by the Asper Undergraduate Program Office (268 Drake Centre) or contact a student advisor to get your program requirements checked.

Can I use the courses I took at my last school/university towards my Bachelor of Commerce degree at the University of Manitoba?

Transfer credit is evaluated centrally by the University of Manitoba Admissions Office on a course by course basis. Once your courses have been evaluated by the Admissions Office and are visible on your UofM record an Advisor in the Asper School of Business will determine whether the courses can be used towards the Bachelor of Commerce degree. Please note that your courses at your current/previous post secondary institution will be evaluated at the time of admission and your transfer credits will be finalized after you have been officially accepted to the University of Manitoba.

For more information regarding transfer credit see Transfer Credit Information

Can the courses that I took at another school fulfill the written English requirement here?

Courses transferred from external institutions do not satisfy the written English requirement, except courses that transfer as Department of English courses, subject ENGL. Some exceptions may apply but would need to be assessed on an individual basis. For more information see Satisfying the university written English requirement.

How does the U of M determine a full-time or part-time student status?

Student status is determined by the number of credit hours in each term (Fall and Winter). In the Asper School of Business, a student who is registered in a 60% course load which is a minimum of 9 credit hours in each term is considered to be a full time student. Therefore, a student with less than 9 credit hours is considered to be a part time student. Please note that the definition of full-time and part-time status may vary depending on offices / institutions. To be eligible for most scholarships students will need to have an 80% course load of 12 credit hours in Fall and 12 credit hours in Winter.

How do I declare my graduation?

You should declare your graduation date in Aurora Student. The deadline to declare your graduation date in Aurora will be the end of the revision period for your last term.  If you plan to graduate and have missed the deadline to declare online or if you need help declaring your grad date, please come to the Asper Undergraduate Program Office, 268 Drake Centre, for assistance.

Students are encouraged to declare a grad date as early as possible, and to come to the Undergraduate Program Office, 268 Drake Centre, to have a Program Advisor review your graduation requirements.

How can I check to make sure I am eligible for graduation?

If you have concerns about your courses please stop by the Asper Undergraduate Program Office (room 268 Drake Centre) or contact a student advisor to get your graduation requirements checked.
