WELCOME TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MANITOBA

Congratulations and welcome to our community of learning,
discovery and engagement at the University of Manitoba.
You are beginning a transformational adventure that is the launching point for life-long success.
Our visionaries, trailblazers and explorers have embraced the unexpected, defied convention and
carved new paths for nearly 140 years.
We recognize that the transition to university can be challenging, especially if you are coming
directly from high school or from a smaller community, you are an international student or you are
returning to university after taking time away to raise a family. Our staff is dedicated to helping you
overcome those challenges and take advantage of the outstanding student experience we offer at
the University of Manitoba.
This guide provides you an information toolkit about policies, procedures and people that will help
you get connected and involved with life on campus.
We wish you every success in your academic career.
Dr. David Barnard

Success through wellness

The Campus Mental Health Facilitator role
was created to support our community to
live and breathe the recommendations set
out in the Campus Mental Health Strategy,
Success Through Wellness. The Strategy
focuses equally on students, staff and faculty
members, examining all aspects of the
university and identifying ways in which the U
of M can be a community that is committed,
caring, healthy, responsive, supportive
and resourceful.
The Strategy has one ultimate goal: that each
of us become agents in creating a culture
which promotes and supports the mental
health and well-being of each and every
community member.

mental health on campus, please contact:

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
The U of M places a high value on academic
integrity (AI) and has taken steps to prevent
cheating, plagiarism and other forms of
academic dishonesty:
Exams are monitored
Students must sign in at exams and show
their Student Photo ID Card
Different versions of exams may be given
out, alternating between adjacent rows
or seats
Assignments done outside of class are
subject to other forms of scrutiny (for
example: honesty declarations)
Here are some things to keep in mind:
Writing and plagiarism
Many students are accused of plagiarism

because they dont know how to properly
reference. Here are some tips to avoid being in
this situation:
Cite your sources. Copying or stating
other peoples ideas in a paper without
documenting where those ideas came from
is considered plagiarism. Cite all sources and
ideas that are not your own, whether you
have quoted or paraphrased those ideas.
For research papers, you will be expected to
demonstrate that you have read up on the
topic by summarizing the ideas of others to
both give credit to their ideas and to back up
your own opinions.
Be mindful about how you present
someone elses ideas. When using other
peoples ideas, you have two options: you can
either put the ideas in your own words or use
them verbatim.
If you paraphrase, make sure you do not alter
the idea. Ask yourself, would the author agree
with how I have presented this idea? Make
sure you are accurately reflecting others
ideas, using your words, or it is considered
plagiarism. If you use their words verbatim,
then use quotation marks around text you are
borrowing. It is important to do so otherwise
you are stealing not only the ideas of the
original author, but the expression of
those ideas.
Remember: plagiarism comes in different
forms. Plagiarism applies to any written work
(hard copy or electronic) in addition to work
presented orally.
Dont assume common knowledge.

Common knowledge is information you
would expect most people would know. For
example, you could say that two planes flew
into New Yorks Twin Towers on September
11, 2001 and not source it. However, the type
of planes, who flew them and other details
later revealed are not common knowledge
and sources would need to be provided.
That Stephen Harper is the Prime Minister of
Canada is common knowledge. Where he
was born or where he went to school is not
necessarily common knowledge. If you are
unsure if something is common knowledge or
needs to be referenced, ask your instructor.
Keep track of your sources. Its important
to record information about what you have
read and will use in your paper, specifically
content you want to paraphrase, summarize
or quote and details about the source
including the author, title, date published
or retrieved, title, URL, page numbers etc.,).
Software programs like RefWorks, Mendeley,
EndNote or Zotero are available to help you
keep track of this information electronically.
Visit umanitoba.ca/libraries for more
information. The Academic Writing Centre
is available to assist you on all aspects of the
writing process: umanitoba.ca/student/
academiclearning
What else constitutes

academic dishonesty?
Copying from another student or bringing

unauthorized materials or items (like cheat
notes and cellphones) into exams or tests
Having someone else pretend they are you
and take an exam or test in your place
Submitting a paper written in whole or in part
by someone else
Submitting the same paper for different classes
Copying answers from another student on a
take-home assignment
Working with other students on assignments,
lab work, take-home tests or online tests when
this is not permitted by the instructor
Failure to abide by any of the Exam
Regulations described in the
Academic Calendar
Examples are further explained in our AI and
Student Conduct online tutorials available at
umanitoba.ca/student/advocacy/
AI-and-Student-Conduct-Tutorials.html
Test your understanding by taking our AI quiz,
available at umanitoba.ca/student/advocacy/
academic_honesty_quiz.html
Visit the AI site for more resources:
umanitoba.ca/student/academicintegrity
Do not leave referencing until the end, it

should be done throughout the entire
writing process.
Do you have a concern about

your academic standing?
Make sure your reference list is complete

and accurate. Extend the care you take
when citing throughout your paper to the
accompanying reference list. (That research
log will come in handy!) To provide adequate
and correct documentation is not only an
indication of academic honesty, but is also
a courtesy, which enables the reader to
consult these sources with ease. Failure to
provide appropriate citations and references

GLOSSARY
UNIVERSITY TERMINOLOGY umanitoba.ca/firstyear/glossary
Many glossary terms defined

below relate to University
Policies and General Academic
Regulations found in the online
Academic Calendar at
umanitoba.ca/calendar
ACADEMIC CALENDAR The Academic Calendar is
the Universitys official publication containing course
descriptions, program and graduation requirements,
as well as U of M and faculty / school specific rules,
regulations and policies.
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY The U of M expects the highest
standard of academic integrity in all its educational and
research activities. As students, you should be aware that
the U of M treats any form of academic dishonesty very
seriously. Students should realize that behaviour such
as cheating, plagiarizing, reporting false data, falsifying
medical certificates, etc. are unacceptable under the
Student Discipline Bylaw. The sanctions can be quite
severe and students who engage in academic dishonest
behaviour are jeopardizing their academic careers.
ACADEMIC SCHEDULE A detailed list of important
U of M dates and deadlines, published in the
Academic Calendar.
ACCOUNT BALANCE Fees are normally assessed at the
time of registration, and can be viewed in Aurora, under
View Account Summary by Term. An Account Balance
and fee payment deadline is provided for each Term.
APPEAL Students have the right to challenge any
administrative, academic or disciplinary decision directly
affecting them which they feel is unfair, improper
or wrong. The appeal process is formally laid out in
academic unit and Senate policies and procedures.
ATTENDANCE Regular attendance is expected of
all students in all courses. An instructor may initiate
procedures to debar a student from attending classes
and from final examinations and/or from receiving credit
where unexcused absences exceed those permitted by
the faculty / school regulations. (See DEBARMENT)
AUDITING (AU) Attending a course for personal
interest and NOT for credit. An Auditing Student may
not write any tests or examinations and is not entitled
to any evaluation privileges. The written consent of the
instructor of the course(s) the student wishes to audit
is required. The fee for auditing a course is half the fee
normally associated with that course.
AURORA The U of M registration system,
aurora.umanitoba.ca; it is also the system used to
track a students academic and administrative records
at the U of M. Among other things, students will use
Aurora to look up and register for available classes; view
fee assessments, class schedules and final grades; order
transcripts; print T2202a tax forms and update
contact information.
BOARD OF GOVERNORS The final decision-making body
of the University. Responsible for the fiscal management
and well-being of the institution. Members include
appointees by the Manitoba Government, representatives
of Senate and other university bodies.
BURSARY A financial award made on the basis of need.
CHALLENGE FOR CREDIT (CH) The means of obtaining
academic credit for practical training and experience
and/or previous study (non-U of M). Eligible students
must demonstrate their competence in the challenged
course, normally by writing the final examination of
that course during the regular examination sessions.
Challenged courses may not be used to fulfill any part of
the Residency requirement of a degree program.
(See RESIDENCY)
CERTIFICATE OF ILLNESS A letter from the TREATING

physician outlining: that the student was ill, the dates
of the beginning and end of the illness and what duties
could not be specifically done, e.g. write an exam or
attend a class. Some courses require a certificate of illness
for missed examinations; others for missed classes. The
individual academic unit determines the need.
CHEATING Cheating in examinations or tests may take
the form of copying from another student or bringing
unauthorized materials into the exam room (e.g., crib
notes or cell phones). Exam cheating can also include
exam personation. A student found guilty of cheating
or contributing to cheating in examinations or term
assignments is subject to serious academic penalty.
CLASS SCHEDULE A list of course offerings, called course
sections, for a particular academic term. Some courses are
not offered every term or every year, while some courses
will have multiple sections available.
COURSE SECTION An individual offering of a course,
listed in the Class Schedule.
CO-CURRICULAR RECORD (CCR) A formalized,
university-certified record of U of M approved and
facilitated activities that support student development in
venues that are not for academic credit.
COMPULSORY WITHDRAWAL (CW) A grade
classification indicating student debarment from courses.
An F grade always accompanies a CW.
CONTINUING COURSE (CO) For those graduate level
courses which continue beyond the normal academic
term, which are being taken by students enrolled in
the Faculty of Graduate Studies, the instructor shall
recommend that a grade of CO be used until such time
as a final grade can be established.
CONTINUING EDUCATION Extended Education offers
degree courses in alternative formats such as Intersession,
Summer Session, Travel Study Courses and Distance
Education, and is responsible for General and Extended
Studies. Extended Education also offers Intensive English
Language programs, a Certificate in Teaching English
as a Second Language, and learner-focused Aboriginal
Focus programs. Other programs include Access (U of M
Access Program; Special Premedical Studies Program; and
Professional Health Program), Canadian Forces University
Program, and a variety of non-degree programs such as
workplace-oriented certificates.
CONVOCATION The formal ceremony for the granting of
degrees by the Chancellor or President of the University.
Convocation ceremonies for students completing
degree/diploma requirements in Winter Term include:
Agriculture Diploma Program (April or May), Faculty
of Medicine (May or June), and for all other programs,
Spring Convocation (May or June). In addition, there is
a Fall Convocation in October for students completing
requirements in the Summer Session, and a February
graduation (without ceremony) for students who
complete their requirements in the Fall Term. February
graduands are invited to participate in the May/June
Convocation ceremony. (See GRADUATION)
COREQUISITE A course that must be completed in the
same term as a second course.
COURSE CATALOG List of courses offered by the U of M,
found in the Academic Calendar and available to view
using Aurora. Some courses are not offered every term or

CREDIT The basic unit of recognition of academic work
applied towards a degree.
CREDIT HOURS The hours of credit assigned to a course,
indicating its relative weight. There is a correlation
between hours of class time and hours of credit.
DEBARMENT A student may be debarred from class,

laboratories, and examinations by action of the dean/
director for persistent non-attendance, failure to produce
assignments to the satisfaction of the instructor, and/
or unsafe clinical practice or practicum. Students so
debarred will have failed that course.
DEFERRED EXAMINATION (DW) The privilege to write
an examination at a later date that may be granted to
a student who is unexpectedly unable to write a final
examination as scheduled, or who requests one in
advance based on approved grounds. Deferrals will not
be granted for completed examinations.
DEREGISTRATION Student accounts with outstanding
balances at the end of the revision periods during Fall /
Winter Session will be assessed a late payment fee, will
be placed On Hold, and may be deregistered from their
courses in subsequent terms. Deregistered students must
apply for reinstatement as soon as possible; reinstatement
will not be granted following the voluntary withdrawal
deadline in each term.
EXAM SCHEDULE For the Fall / Winter Session the
schedule of examinations, by course and section number,
is produced by the Registrars Office approximately five
weeks after the beginning of each Term. For Summer
Session courses, refer to the Summer Session
Class Schedule.
EXAMINATIONS (FINAL) Students (with the exception of
those students auditing courses) are required to write all
final examinations.
EXPULSION An academic or disciplinary penalty which
results in a withdrawal of all rights or privileges available
to students for either a definite or indefinite period
of time.
FEE APPEALS Any appeal of tuition or other academic
fees assessed must be submitted in writing on a Fee
Appeal Form to the Registrars Office. Appeals may be
granted on medical or compassionate grounds. Please
note that not being aware of a date or policy is not
grounds for appeal.
FEE ASSESSMENT The calculation of a students tuition
and other fees is initiated by registration. The calculation
of fees is based upon program choice, course load,
citizenship and residency. (See ACCOUNT BALANCE)
FINAL GRADE Students completing a course for credit
will be assigned either a letter grade (A, B, C, D, or F), or
a PASS or FAIL, reflective of their aggregate performance
in the course.
FINANCIAL AID Assistance in the form of grants, loans,
bursaries and scholarships to provide for the payment
of tuition and other expenses incidental to attendance
at university. Sources of funding include federal and
provincial government as well as the public sector
and private individuals. The U of M provides assistance
through its endowment funds. For complete information,
visit umanitoba.ca/student/awards.
FULL-TIME STUDENT For most purposes, a student who
is registered in at least 60% of the normal full load of
courses for their program is considered to be full-time.
GRADE APPEALS (FINAL) A student may enter an appeal,
through the Registrars Office, for assessment of one
or more final grades. A student wishing to make a final
grade appeal must do so by the deadlines set for each
term (for deadlines, see umanitoba.ca/calendar). There
is a charge per appeal, which is refunded if the grade is
raised. No grade may be lowered as a result of filing
an appeal.
GRADE APPEALS (TERM WORK) The appeal of term
work that has been returned or made available to
students before the last day of classes shall be subject to
policies and procedures established by Faculty / School
Councils. Term Work appeal forms are available from the
department offering the course. There is a charge per
appeal, which is refunded for any grade that is changed
as a result of the appeal.
GRADE POINT AVERAGE (GPA) Each completed

course receives a letter grade to which a numeric value
expressed as a grade point is assigned; GPA calculations
do not include PASS / FAIL courses. The grade point
average is the cumulative weighted grade point total
divided by the number of credit hours attempted in
accordance with academic unit regulations on
cumulative averages.
GPA, CUMULATIVE (CGPA) The GPA of all courses,
institutional and transferred, taken at the same level
(non-credit, undergraduate, or graduate, subject to repeat

GPA, TERM (Term GPA) The GPA of all courses taken
during a single term.
GRADE REPORTING The U of M will report cumulative
and term GPA's for all students through Aurora.
GRADING SYSTEM (LETTER GRADE) Final grades in
most courses are expressed as letters, ranging from F, to
A+. A grade of D is the lowest passing grade, although a C
may be required in some cases. Each letter grade has an
assigned numerical value which is used to calculate grade
point averages. Grading scales used to determine the final
letter grade may vary between courses and programs.
GRADING SYSTEM (PASS/FAIL) Some courses are
graded on a PASS/FAIL basis and because no numerical
value is assigned to these courses, they do not affect
grade point averages. Courses graded in this way are
clearly identified in course descriptions and
program outlines.
GRADUATION The term used when a student has
completed all the requirements for their program, AND
the U of M Senate has approved the student to be
granted the degree/diploma that they are eligible for. A
student has graduated once the Chancellor or President
of the U of M confers degrees to all graduands for that
term. Students will receive a letter confirming Senate
approval, indicating to them what their official graduation
date is; this may differ from their Convocation
Ceremony date.
HOLD STATUS A student on Hold Status has an
outstanding obligation to the U of M. These may range
from overdue fees, fines, library books etc., transcripts or
documents requested, or pending disciplinary action.
No administrative services are provided until the Hold
is lifted.
INAPPROPRIATE COLLABORATION Inappropriate
collaboration is a form of plagiarism that often results
from students not understanding limits of helping
each other. Students are frequently requested to work
in groups and the guidelines for group work should be
clearly established by the instructor. When not otherwise
indicated, students are expected to work as individuals
and submit original, independent assignments and
papers. When students collaborate on course work
beyond the criteria set out in class and on the course
outline, the students may be sanctioned under the
Student Discipline Bylaw.
INCOMPLETES (I) A student who is unable to complete
the term work prescribed in a course may apply to the

which the course is offered, for consideration of a grade
classification of Incomplete and a time extension for

is deemed professionally unsuited for the practice of the
profession to which their program leads, and may require
such a student to withdraw from the program on this
basis. If the professional unsuitability bylaw is applicable,
