Students who do not meet our high school requirements or are missing prerequisite courses may upgrade their courses through the University of Manitoba.
Grade 12 Mathematics
The University of Manitoba offers a Math Skills course in Extended Education which provides students with the necessary background to continue with university level math and science coursework. You may take Math Skills simultaneously with other university courses as long as these courses do not require a math prerequisite. Math Skills is a non-credit course offered in the fall, winter, spring and summer terms.
Note: This course may not be used as an admission requirement to the University of Manitoba.
Grade 12 Chemistry, Physics, or Biology
Students who require a Grade 12 level chemistry or physics may take Preparatory Chemistry (CHEM 0900) and/or Preparing for University Physics (PHYS 0900) as a means of satisfying university courses prerequisites. Both are non-credit courses usually offered within numerous terms each year. You must apply and be accepted (normally to General Studies in Extended Education) to enroll in these courses.
Students who require a Grade 12 level biology will be allowed to register for the non laboratory introductory biology course, BIOL 1000, that may be used as a substitute for the grade 12 biology course. Please contact the Faculty of Science for more information.
You may take these preparatory courses simultaneously with other university courses as long as they do not require the area you are studying as a prerequisite.
