Deadline Dates to Remember

Adjusted Grade Point Average (AGPA) for admission will be calculated on the most recent 60 credit hours of course work and will not be limited to the past 10 years.

Courses completed at recognized institutions other than the University of Manitoba must be assessed as exact equivalents and have been completed within the past 10 years for applicants to be considered as having met the requirements.

Students who fail the same Nursing course twice, prior to applying to the Faculty of Nursing, are ineligible for admission to the Faculty. Students who fail a Nursing course twice and are required to withdraw from the Faculty are ineligible for re-admission to the Faculty.

Advanced standing will be considered for courses completed at the University of Manitoba. Courses completed at other universities and colleges will be considered if completed within the last 10 years.
