Basic Faculty Regulations for the B.A. General, Advanced and Honours Degree Programs
It is highly recommended that all first-year students pursuing a Bachelor of Arts Degree complete courses in the subject fields they plan to specialize in. Future course selection may be limited by their initial choice of courses.
Students must meet specific subject field requirements to qualify for entrance to the different Faculty of Arts programs (Majors and Minors). Information on first year course requirements can be found in the program charts located in the Department and Program specific sections of the Academic Calendar.
General Degree Program
Its General Purpose
The General Degree in the Faculty of Arts involves taking courses in what are traditionally referred to as the "liberal" arts. The goal of a liberal arts education is to provide students with an education in the humanities and social sciences and at the same time prepare them for future careers. An Arts education is intended to provide students with "employability skills" that are highly valued by employers and needed in the contemporary workplace. Some of these skills include reading, writing, listening, speaking effectively, knowledge of language, critical thinking, problem solving, basic numeracy, information literacy, and an appreciation of our cultural, political, and economic milieu.
The General Degree would not normally prepare students for graduate studies. Most graduate programs require students complete a four year degree. Therefore students interested in a graduate program should complete the Bachelor of Arts Advanced or Honours Degree Program following discussion with a departmental graduate program advisor.
Entrance into the B.A. General Degree Program
- At the point of entry to the Faculty of Arts all students proceeding to an undergraduate B.A. Degree are automatically in the General Degree Program. Subsequently, students may apply through the Faculty of Arts General Office for admission to either the Advanced Degree Program or the Honours Degree program.
- All students who have completed 30 credit hours of coursework are encouraged to declare a Major and a Minor. Once the Major or Minor is declared it can be changed at some later registration. Students may also declare a second or Double Major in lieu of a Minor. Students who want to declare a Double Major must complete a Double Major declaration form available in the Faculty of Arts General Office or on the Faculty of Arts website. Students should note that for entry into Majors/Minors, the faculty requirement is a grade of “C” or better in the prerequisite course(s).
For entry into a Major requiring courses from more than one department, the faculty requirement is an average of “C” or better in all courses which are eligible to count towards the Major.
For detailed information regarding entry and specific course requirements for Majors and Minors, see the specific departmental listing in the Academic Calendar.
Requirements for Continuing in the B.A. General Degree Program
- By the time students complete 60 credit hours, they should have at least three credit hours in each of five different Arts subject fields and must have declared a Major and Minor. Students who have not declared a Major or Minor by the time 60 credit hours of coursework have been completed, will not be able to continue registration until a Major/Minor is declared.
- Students admitted to the Faculty of Arts, by the time they have completed 60 credit hours, must have successfully completed or be registered for at least three credit hours in a course with significant content in written English and at least three credit hours in a course in mathematics (Please refer to the General Academic Regulations; Approved Written English and Mathematics courses).
- Students must meet the minimum performance level.
Ten Faculty Requirements for Graduating with a B.A. General Degree
- A student must successfully complete a minimum of 90 credit hours of courses acceptable for credit in the Faculty of Arts (see Courses Acceptable for Credit in the Faculty of Arts) with a “C” average or better on the courses that contribute to satisfying all of the B.A. General Degree requirements.

- Major: 30 credit hours which constitute a Major in one of the subject fields approved by the Faculty of Arts. The student must also have a minimum “C” average in courses where a final grade is recorded and that are used toward the Major including only the higher grade of any course that has been repeated and excluding any failed course(s). A student who declares only one Major must also complete a Minor. A student who declares a Double Major will not be required nor allowed to complete a Minor, but must complete 30 credit hours as specified by each Major department. Students who have questions about a Major in a particular subject are strongly urged to consult an instructor in the appropriate department. A Major may be declared once the prerequisite is satisfied.
Students who declare and complete a Major in Global Political Economy will not be required to complete a separate field for a Minor for purposes of satisfying the degree requirements. - Minor: 18 credit hours which are in a subject field that is different from that of the declared Major, which constitute a Minor approved by the Faculty of Arts. A student who declares only one Major must also complete a Minor. A student who declares a Double Major will not be required nor allowed to complete a Minor. It is not possible to declare a "Double Minor." No course can be used to satisfy both the Major(s) and the Minor requirement. A Minor may be declared once the prerequisite is satisfied.

Advanced Degree Program
Its General Purpose
This program is intended primarily to serve students who desire a general education along with a reasonable degree of specialization in one area of study through the Major. In addition to the basic skills learned in the B.A. General Degree Program, an extra year of study provides the opportunity to learn more advanced skills such as research, critical thinking, information management and public speaking.
The Advanced Degree Program is also well suited to students seeking to build an academic term or year of studies abroad into their undergraduate degree. The Advanced Degree offers the time in the degree to take advantage of opportunities for international focus and experience.
While most graduate programs require students complete an Honours Degree, it may be possible to enter a graduate program on the basis of the Advanced Degree. Students should discuss this possibility with a departmental graduate program advisor.

Requirements for Dual Credit High School Students
Students admitted as dual credit high school students will be required to demonstrate their competencies in a course by challenging the university final exam.
Challenge exams will be scheduled by the relevant Department or Program and may be invigilated either on the University of Manitoba campus or at the student’s high school. The University of Manitoba faculty member who is responsible for the delivery of the course will determine the structure and duration of the exam.
High schools will be responsible for delivering the appropriate content to ensure students are prepared for the examinations. If they are willing to do so, a University of Manitoba faculty member will work with each high school to ensure that high school instructors are provided with the course content equivalent to the content of the corresponding courses offered at the University of Manitoba. Such support includes supplying course outlines, textbook information, and where appropriate, sample midterms and final examinations. These arrangements must be approved by the Department Head/Program Director within the unit that is responsible for these course offerings at the University of Manitoba.
Students admitted will be subject to the same regulations concerning voluntary withdrawals and appeal procedures as all other students admitted to the Faculty of Arts. Limited access restrictions will apply to university courses from which students have voluntarily withdrawn while enrolled as a Dual Credit High School student.
In addition to the university requirements listed above, all dual credit high school courses must adhere to requirements outlined in the provincial dual credit policy. Contact the Faculty of Arts Student Services office for information on available courses and for information regarding which high schools may offer dual credit for their students as an option.
Requirements for Casual Students
Students admitted under the Casual Student category will be subject to the same regulations concerning voluntary withdrawals and appeal procedures as all other students admitted to the Faculty of Arts. Limited access restrictions will apply to university courses from which students have voluntarily withdrawn while enrolled as casual students.

For details on those Minor (Concentration) programs please refer to the relevant Faculty/ School's chapter in this Calendar.
Courses Acceptable for Credit in the Faculty of Arts
In addition to all courses offered by the Faculty of Arts there are two other categories of courses acceptable for credit in the Faculty of Arts:
Courses Offered by Other Faculties or Schools at the University of Manitoba
Effective September 2007, all degree credit courses offered by other Faculties or Schools at the University of Manitoba are acceptable for credit in Arts (excludes Pass/Fail courses).
If a student was registered in another faculty or school within the University of Manitoba prior to registering in the Faculty of Arts, all courses in which the student received a final grade will be treated in the same way as they would have been had they been taken by a student already registered in the Faculty of Arts. That is, all of these courses will count in determining eligibility for admission to Arts in accordance with rules defined in the sections on Direct Entry from High School, Transit from University 1, and Maximum Number of "F" Grades Permitted on Courses Acceptable for Credit in the Arts and these rules will all be taken into account when determining the student’s grade point averages in accordance with rules for Repeating a Course and Maximum Number of "F" Grades Permitted on Courses Acceptable for Credit in the Arts. In addition, they will all count towards the minimum number of credit hours required for graduating, provided the student received a passing grade in each of them, and the courses did not conflict with some other graduation or continuing regulation (such as the Residency Requirement).
Courses Offered at Other Universities and Colleges
Effective September 2007, all courses offered at other universities and colleges which are evaluated as equivalent to University of Manitoba courses (excludes Pass/Fail courses) will be used when determining eligibility for admission and transfer credit.
There are two groups of courses that are taken at other universities or colleges and which can be used for credit in the Faculty of Arts at the University of Manitoba, namely: a) those taken by students who are already registered in the Faculty of Arts at the University of Manitoba, and b) those taken by students prior to transferring to the Faculty of Arts at the University of Manitoba.
- Students who are already registered in the Faculty of Arts at the University of Manitoba, and who wish to take courses at another university or college to count towards their University of Manitoba degree are required to obtain a Letter of Permission from the Registrar’s Office prior to registering at that other institution; see General Academic Regulations. The Letter of Permission will not be approved for a student who is in academic jeopardy or on academic suspension. As of September 1999 grades earned in courses at other universities are taken into account in the cumulative hours when determining the Grade Point Averages at the University of Manitoba. Grades earned at other universities will not be used in determining eligibility for awards.
- All completed courses that are deemed acceptable for credit in any degree program at the University of Manitoba (excludes Pass/Fail courses) which were taken by a student registered at another university or college prior to transferring to the Faculty of Arts, will be used when determining eligibility for admission and transfer credit. That is, all of these courses will count in determining admissibility in accordance with, Direct Entry from High School, Transit from University 1, and Maximum Number of "F" Grades Permitted on Courses Acceptable for Credit in Arts.
As of September 1999 the applicable courses (credits and attempts) in both a) and b) are included on the University of Manitoba record, the external courses are counted as attempts and external grades are taken into account when determining the University of Manitoba grade point average as well as count towards the maximum number of "F" grades permitted in an Arts degree. Grades earned at other universities will not be used in determining eligibility for awards. There is no limit on attempts in any degree program.
Courses completed at institutions external to the University of Manitoba taken more than 10 years prior to the point of admission will not be considered for transfer credit, except in the case of students entering the B.A.I.S. program.
Students who wish to request a review or reassessment of transfer credit must do so within eight months of the initial determination of transfer of credit to the University of Manitoba.
Residency Requirement
Each of the four undergraduate degree programs has a residency requirement which requires that a minimum number of credit hours must be taken at the University of Manitoba itself in order to qualify for the degree. Students admitted to the Faculty of Arts B.A. General, Advanced and Honours Degree Programs will also be required to satisfy a residency requirement on the Major(s), Advanced Major(s) or Honours subject(s) in addition to the residency requirement on the degree. Similarly students admitted to the B.A. Integrated Studies Degree Program will be required to satisfy a residency requirement on the Concentration in addition to a residency requirement on the degree.
B.A. General Degree
- Degree: There are two ways in which the Residency Requirement for the B.A. General Degree may be satisfied: either by successfully completing at the University of Manitoba no fewer than 48 credit hours of the required minimum 90 credit hours (these 48 credit hours may be taken at various points in the student's career); or by successfully completing at the University of Manitoba itself no fewer than the last 30 credit hours of the required minimum 90 credit hours.
- Major: A minimum of 18 credit hours of the 30 credit hours required for the Major must be successfully completed at the University of Manitoba or through an approved University of Manitoba Exchange Program.
B.A. Advanced Degree
- Degree: To receive the B.A. Advanced Degree, the student must successfully complete at least 60 credit hours of the required minimum 120 credit hours at the University of Manitoba.
- Single and Double Advanced Majors: Students must successfully complete at the University of Manitoba or through an approved University of Manitoba exchange program the hours of coursework in their Major program as noted below:
- In a Single Advanced Major requiring 48 to 57 credit hours, at least 30 credit hours must be completed at the University of Manitoba or through an approved University of Manitoba Exchange Program.
- In a Single Advanced Major requiring more than 57 credit hours, at least 36 credit hours must be completed at the University of Manitoba or through an approved University of Manitoba Exchange Program.
- In a Double Advanced Major requiring 42 credit hours, at least 27 credit hours must be completed at the University of Manitoba or through an approved University of Manitoba Exchange Program.
B.A. Honours Degree
- Degree: To receive the B.A. Honours Degree, the student must successfully complete at least 60 credit hours of the required 120 credit hours at the University of Manitoba.
- Honours Subject(s): Students must successfully complete at the University of Manitoba or through an approved University of Manitoba exchange program the hours of coursework in their Honours subject(s) as noted below:
- In a single Honours subject requiring 54 to 69 credit hours, at least 33 credit hours must be completed in the Honours subject.
- In a single Honours subject requiring more than 69 credit hours, at least 39 credit hours must be completed in the Honours subject.
- In a double or joint Honours subject requiring 42 to 45 credit hours in one Honours subject, at least 24 credit hours must be completed in that Honours subject.
- In a double or joint Honours subject requiring less than 42 credit hours in one Honours subject, at least 21 credit hours must be completed in that Honours subject.
- In a double or joint Honours subject requiring more than 45 credit hours in one Honours subject, at least 33 credit hours must be completed in that Honours subject.
- Once admitted to an Honours program, students are expected to take all their courses at the University of Manitoba. For information on exceptions to this requirement, the student should consult the Faculty of Arts General Office.
B.A. Integrated Studies Degree
- Degree: To receive the B.A. Integrated Studies Degree, the student must successfully complete at the University of Manitoba no fewer than 36 credit hours of the required minimum 90 credit hours (these 36 credit hours may be taken at various points in the student's career).
- Concentration(s): A minimum of 9 credit hours of the 18 credit hours required for the Concentration must be successfully completed at the University of Manitoba or through an approved University of Manitoba Exchange Program.
Residency Requirement Université de Saint-Boniface
In order to satisfy the University of Manitoba, Faculty of Arts residency requirement, students who transfer from Université de Saint-Boniface must complete the following minimum hours at the Fort Garry Campus.
- In order to receive the B.A. (General), B.A. (Advanced), or B.A. Honours Degree, the student must successfully complete at least 30 credit hours at the Fort Garry campus.
Year-of-Study Equivalents
A student's progress towards a degree is measured in terms of credit hours passed rather than years of study completed. The following table may be used to determine the year equivalent.
| Year Equivalent | Credit Hours Passed (General/Integrated Studies Degree) | Credit Hours Passed (Advanced/Honours Degree) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | fewer than 24 credit hours | fewer than 24 credit hours |
| 2 | 24 credit hours to fewer than 54 credit hours | 24 credit hours to fewer than 54 credit hours |
| 3 | 54 credit hours or more | 54 credit hours to less than 84 credit hours |
| 4 | not applicable | 84 credit hours or more |
Maximum Number of Courses During a Term
Normally a student may attempt a maximum of 15 credit hours during a Fall or Winter term or a maximum of 18 credit hours during the Summer Term. If a student has taken the maximum credit hours in the previous term and has obtained a degree grade point average of 2.75 and is in good standing, they may apply at the Faculty of Arts General Office to be allowed to take 3 additional credit hours per term.
Prerequisite, Corequisite, and Course Availability
Prerequisite
Minimum grades of “C” are required in all courses listed as prerequisites, except as otherwise noted in the course descriptions published in each department and program section of this chapter. If a course is a prerequisite for a second course, the prerequisite must be met in order to continue in the second course.
Some course descriptions will indicate that a specific course is a pre- or corequisite for the course in which you wish to register. If you have not previously taken the specific course, you may register for it in the same term.
Corequisite
Where a course identifies another course as a corequisite, both courses must be taken at the same time.
Course Availability
Not all courses listed in this Calendar are offered every year. The course(s) being offered for the current terms are available for review by accessing the Class Schedule in Aurora.
Challenge for Credit
Some departments in the Faculty of Arts offer courses by means of challenge for credit. Since the courses offered in this manner may vary from year to year, students interested in this method of attaining credit should consult the Challenge for Credit section in the Faculty of Arts Registration Information located on the Faculty of Arts website. The Academic Schedule in this Calendar contains the relevant registration deadline dates appropriate to challenge for credit.
Repeating a Course
Limited Access will not affect registration for the current Academic Year, which includes Fall, Winter, and Summer terms. See University Policy and Procedures – Repeat Course Policy – Section 2.5 (a) Limited Access.
Effective 2018 Winter Term - Limited Access Policy in Effect
Limited Access is a registration rule that allows students who have never before completed or voluntarily withdrawn from a course (or its equivalent) the opportunity to register for the course before students who are repeating or have previously withdrawn from the course in question.
If a student has previously taken a course and received a final grade, or voluntarily withdrawn from the course (VW)1, any future attempt to take that course or its equivalent is considered a repeated course.
Effective Winter 2018, Limited Access will prevent a student from registering or waitlisting for a course (or equivalent) being repeated until the "Limited Access Term Expiry Date" has passed.
Limited Access applies for three consecutive terms following the term that the course in question was last completed or voluntarily withdrawn (VW).
During these three terms of Limited Access, a student may register to repeat a course, without permission, only when the Limited Access Term Expiry Date has passed.
Once the three terms of Limited Access has expired, any student wishing to repeat a course will need to request permission to do so from the Faculty of Arts General Office.
Students who wish to repeat a course for which they have obtained a grade of "C" or better are encouraged to discuss their choice to do so with an Arts Academic Advisor prior to registration.
- All completed courses will appear on the student's transcript and will be used to calculate the student’s attempted hours.
- Repeating a course will not remove the original course or grade from the transcript.
- All courses with “F” grades that are repeated count towards the limit of “F” grades permitted in an Arts degree.
| 1 | A previous VW is only considered a repeat if you withdrew in Winter 2017 or later. |
Statute of Limitations
Students who have not been registered at the University of Manitoba (or any other post-secondary institution) for a period of five years or longer immediately preceding an admission to Arts may submit a written appeal to the General Office to be allowed to "start afresh" a Faculty of Arts degree. If the appeal is granted, all courses listed on the University of Manitoba record will remain but all previous work will not count/apply towards satisfying degree requirements nor affect the degree GPA calculation. The following notation will appear under the term of readmission:
“Having discontinued attendance at post-secondary institutions for a period of five years or more, this student has been permitted to start afresh on recommendation of the Dean. All previous credits have been forfeited.”
Maximum Number of F Grades Permitted on Courses Acceptable for Credit in Arts
Each student in the Faculty of Arts will be placed on academic suspension for one year despite evidence of improved performance if they have more than 36 credit hours of “F” grades.
Following a one year suspension, the student may return upon application to the Faculty of Arts General Office by selecting one of the following irreversible options:
- to continue with no possibility of further “F” grades. Any further “F” grades will result in academic suspension for two years. (Following the two year suspension, the student may apply to the Faculty of Arts General Office to return to start afresh.)
Or - start afresh, with their previous work not counting towards satisfying degree requirements.
(In either case this does not mean that the previous coursework will be removed from the student history or transcript.)

Once a Bachelor of Arts degree has been awarded by the University of Manitoba Senate, it cannot be revoked or “turned in” towards another degree.
Students who have completed an undergraduate degree may apply and be admitted to the Faculty of Arts seeking a second undergraduate degree. Students who hold a first degree from the Faculty of Arts may not apply for the B.A. Integrated Studies Degree Program as a second degree.
Students who have graduated with a first undergraduate degree from the University of Manitoba will be allowed to transfer up to 60 credit hours of coursework from their first degree toward a second degree program in the Faculty of Arts. Courses taken in a qualifying program will be considered part of the first degree. Courses extra to the first degree, excluding courses taken in a qualifying program or another awarded degree, diploma or certificate, may be transferred in addition to the 60 credit hours.
Students with first degrees awarded by external institutions will be eligible for up to 60 credit hours of transfer credit providing the degree was awarded and the courses were taken within the 10 year period prior to admission and registration in the Faculty of Arts .
Once admitted students must satisfy all relevant undergraduate degree requirements except for the Written English and Mathematics requirements.
Students may not be admitted to the Faculty of Arts or complete a Bachelor of Arts Degree while concurrently pursuing a degree in another Faculty or School.
No transfer credit will be awarded to students seeking a third, fourth, etc., degree.
Students cannot obtain a second degree in the same discipline at the same or lower level as any of their previously awarded degree(s).
Application to Graduate with a Bachelor of Arts Degree
In order to officially receive a degree in any of the four programs leading to a B.A., students must declare their intention to graduate by the relevant deadline date listed below. This process applies to students in each of the following three categories.
Category 1: Those students currently registered in the Faculty of Arts in either the B.A. General Degree, B.A. Integrated Studies Degree or the B.A. Advanced Degree Program must declare their intention to graduate using Aurora Student.
Those students currently registered in the Faculty of Arts in the B.A. Honours Degree program must declare their intention to graduate at the point of registration for their last set of courses when they complete the Registration Worksheet.
Category 2: Those students currently registered in the Faculty of Arts in either the B.A. Advanced or a B.A. Honours Degree program who decide to revert to the B.A. General Degree Program in order to graduate, must submit a request in writing to graduate to the General Office, Faculty of Arts. For graduation in May, the request must be received by April 30. For graduation in October, the request must be received by September 30. For graduation in February, the request must be received by January 30.
Category 3: Those students previously admitted to and registered in one of the respective degree programs in the Faculty of Arts and who have completed all of the requirements for the degree while registered in the Faculty of Arts, but who are currently registered in another Faculty or School at the University of Manitoba (excluding Extended Education) may submit a request in writing to graduate to the Faculty of Arts General Office.

Introduction
This chapter contains the regulations and requirements that apply to all students, regardless of faculty or school.
Each faculty and school has its own supplementary regulations and requirements. These are published in the faculty or school chapters of the Academic Calendar. Some faculties and schools also have additional regulations and requirements governing their programs; these are available from the faculty or school.
It is the responsibility of each student to be familiar with the academic regulations and requirements of the University of Manitoba in general and of the specific academic regulations and requirements of their faculty or school of registration. Accordingly, students are asked to seek the advice of advisors in faculty and school general offices whenever there is any question concerning how specific regulations apply to their situations.
Residence and Written English and Mathematics Requirements
Residence Requirements For Graduation
Each faculty and school recommends to the Senate the number of credit hours each student must complete in order to graduate from its programs. Senate also requires each student to complete a minimum number of credit hours at the University of Manitoba -- this is called the “residence requirement.”
Unless otherwise stated in faculty and school chapters, the minimum residence requirement of the University of Manitoba is the work normally associated with one year in the case of programs of three years’ duration, and two years for programs of four years’ duration. Some faculties and schools may have additional residence requirements specified in their program regulations. However, in all cases, the residence requirement is assessed following an appraisal of the educational record of the student applying to transfer credits from another institution or applying to earn credits elsewhere on a letter of permission. The residence requirement is not reduced for students whose “challenge for credit” results in a passing grade.
University English and Mathematics Requirements for Undergraduate Students
All students are required to complete, within the first 60 credit hours of their programs, a minimum of one three credit hour course with significant content in written English, and a minimum of one three credit hour course with significant content in mathematics.
Some degree programs have designated specific written English and mathematics courses to fulfil this requirement.
Price Faculty of Engineering have their own written English requirements.
Some degree programs require that the written English and/or mathematics requirements be completed prior to admission.
See the program descriptions in the faculty and school chapters of the Academic Calendar for details.
Exemptions to the Written English and Mathematics Requirement
- All students with completed baccalaureate degrees and who transfer into any program to which these requirements apply.
- Registered Nurses entering the Bachelor of Nursing Program for Registered Nurses.
- Students admitted before the 1997-98 Regular Session.
- Written English exemption only: Students transferring from Université de Saint-Boniface who have completed a written French requirement (at the university) before transferring to the University of Manitoba will be deemed to have met the written English requirement.
Approved English and Mathematics Courses
A complete list of all courses which satisfy the university written English and mathematics requirement is provided below. (When searching for courses in Aurora, students may search Course Attributes for courses that satisfy the written English and Mathematics requirements).
Note that some programs may restrict the choice of English or Mathematics courses. See the program descriptions in the faculty and school chapters of the Academic Calendar for details.

Course Identification
Credit Hours (Cr.Hrs.)
Each faculty and school develops courses for its degree credit programs, subject to Senate approval, and assigns a credit hour value to each course.
The credit hours for a course are expressed as a number associated with the course which indicates its relative weight. There is a correlation between class hours and credit hours (i.e. 6 credit hours = 3 hours a week, two terms; and 3 credit hours = 3 hours a week, one term).
For the purposes of registration, courses taught over both the Fall and Winter Terms have been divided into two parts. The credit hour value of the course are divided equally and applied to each part of the course. For example: for a six credit hour spanned course each of the Fall and Winter Term parts of the course will be assigned the value of three credit hours. Students registering for term spanning courses will receive one grade for the course and only when the second part is completed. The course grade will be applied to both the Fall and Winter parts of the course.
Prerequisite and Co-requisite Courses
Prerequisite: If a course is prerequisite for a second course, the prerequisite must be met in order to begin the second course. To determine whether or not a course has a prerequisite, see the course descriptions in the chapter of the faculty or school offering the course. Normally, a minimum grade of “C” is required in all courses listed as prerequisites, except as otherwise noted in the course descriptions.
For some courses, the prerequisite may be completed before registering for the second course or may be taken concurrently with the second course. To determine if a course may be taken concurrently, see the course descriptions in the chapter of the faculty or school offering the course.
Co-requisite: If a first course is a co-requisite for a second course, the first course must be completed in the same term as the second course. To determine if a course has a co-requisite, see the course descriptions in the chapter of the faculty or school offering the course.
Course Numbers
First Two to Four Characters
The two, three or four characters in every course number are a shortened version of the subject of the course.
Last Four Digits
At the University of Manitoba the last four digits of the course number reflect the level of contact with the subject.
For example:
ECON 1210
ECON is the code for Economics.
1210 indicates that it is an introductory or entry level course.
If the course requires a laboratory, this will be shown following the credit hours immediately following the title.
For example:
BIOL 3242 (lab required)
The 2000, 3000, 4000 course numbers indicate the second, third, and fourth levels of university contact with a subject.
Numbers in the 5000 range are normally associated with pre-Master’s work or courses in the Post Baccalaureate Diploma and the Post-Graduate Medical Education programs.
Courses numbered 6000-8000 are graduate courses of the Faculty of Graduate Studies.
Course numbers in the 9000 series are used to identify courses taken at the University of Winnipeg by students in the University of Manitoba/University of Winnipeg Joint Master’s Programs. The 9000 numbers do not indicate the level of the course taken (see Graduate Calendar or University of Winnipeg Calendar).
In most cases, some correlation exists between the course number and a student's year of study; that is, students in the third year of a program will generally carry course loads comprised primarily of 3000-level courses.
Other course numbering information
Courses with numbers that end in 0 or an even number are taught in English, most of which are offered on the Fort Garry or Bannatyne campuses or through Distance and Online Education.
Courses with numbers that end in odd numbers are taught in French at Université de Saint-Boniface.
Grades and Grade Point Average Calculation
Introduction
Final grades in most courses are expressed as letters, ranging from F, to A+ the highest. A grade of D is the lowest passing grade, however the minimum grade required to use a course as credit toward a degree or diploma program may be set higher by a faculty or school. Refer to faculty and school regulations. 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.
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.
The Letter Grade System
| Letter Grade | Grade Point Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | 4.5 | Exceptional |
| A | 4.0 | Excellent |
| B+ | 3.5 | Very Good |
| B | 3.0 | Good |
| C+ | 2.5 | Satisfactory |
| C | 2.0 | Adequate |
| D | 1.0 | Marginal |
| F | 0 | Failure |
| P | Pass | |
| S | Standing |
The grade of “D” is regarded as marginal in most courses by all faculties and schools. It contributes to decreasing a term, degree or cumulative Grade Point Average to less than 2.0. Courses graded “D” may be repeated for the purpose of improving a GPA. Note that some faculties and schools consider a grade of “D” as unacceptable and will not apply the course toward the program as credit. In most cases the course will need to be repeated to attain the acceptable grade. Refer to faculty and school regulations.
Calculation of Grade Point Average
The University of Manitoba will report cumulative and term grade point averages for all students through Aurora Student.
Please also refer to the Grade Point Averages Policy found in the University Policies and Procedures..
Quality Points
The quality points for a course are the product of the credit hours for the course and the grade point obtained by the student; e.g., 3 credit hours with a grade of “B” (3.0 points) = 3 credit hours x 3.0 = 9.0 quality points.
Quality Point Total
The quality point total is the sum of quality points accumulated as students proceed through their program of studies.
Grade Point Average (GPA)
The grade point average (GPA) is the quality point total divided by the total number of credit hours.
Example:
| Course | Credit Hours | Grade | Grade Points | Quality Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Course 1 | 3 | B | 3 | 9 |
| Course 2 | 3 | B+ | 3.5 | 10.5 |
| Course 3 | 3 | C+ | 2.5 | 7.5 |
| Course 4 | 3 | B | 3 | 9 |
| Course 5 | 3 | A | 4 | 12 |
| Totals | 15 | 48 |
Grade point average: 240 Quality Points / 15 Credit Hours = 3.20
Poor Grades and Program Progression
A course in which a “D” standing is obtained may need to be repeated by probationary students in certain faculties or where a minimum grade of “C” is required in a prerequisite subject or to meet degree requirements.
Students in doubt as to the status of their record should consult an advisor in their faculty or school.
For minimum grade levels, especially as they affect progression requirements, see the faculty or school regulations in the Academic Calendar or consult an advisor.
Academic Honours
Students qualify for the Honour List (Dean’s, Director’s, University 1) when they achieve qualifying grade point averages, as specified by the faculty/school or program regulations.
In addition, outstanding academic achievement will qualify students for other honours and awards. These include:
- the University Gold Medal, which is awarded at graduation in each faculty or school to the student with the most outstanding academic record;
- program medals, which are awarded by faculties and schools to the best student graduating from a specific program;
- graduation “with distinction”, which is recorded on the transcripts of all students who attain a qualifying grade point average;
- and other medals and prizes that are specific to programs or disciplines.
Academic Evaluation
Methods of Evaluation
Students shall be informed of the method of evaluation to be used in each course, as specified in the Responsibilities of Academic Staff with Regard to Students Policy, found in the University Policies and Procedures.
In departments where a course is offered in more than one section, the department offering the course endeavours to provide instruction so that all sections cover similar topics and that all students achieve a similar level of competency in the topic. However, there will be differences in evaluation as well as in teaching style, readings and assignments from one section to another. Students may contact the department for additional information before registration.
Credit for Term Work
In subjects involving written examinations, laboratories, and term assignments, a student may be required to pass each component separately. If no final examination is scheduled in a course, the student’s final grade will be determined on the basis of the method of evaluation as announced in the first week of lectures.
If credit is not given for term work, the student’s final grade will be determined entirely by the results of the final written examination. Where the final grade is determined from the results of both term work and final examinations, the method of computing the final grade will be as announced within the first week of classes. Should a student write a deferred examination, term grades earned will normally be taken into account as set out in the immediately preceding paragraph.
Repeating a Course
A course in which a “D” standing is obtained may need to be repeated by probationary students in certain faculties or where a minimum grade of “C” is required in a prerequisite subject or to meet degree requirements.
Elective courses graded “F” may either be repeated or another elective substituted. All electives in a program must be approved by the faculty or school.
Probation and Academic Suspension
Failure to meet minimum levels of performance as specified in the regulations of the faculty or school will result in a student being placed either on probation or academic suspension in accordance with the faculty or school regulations.
A student’s status is determined, following final examinations, at the end of each term (Fall, Winter or Summer terms) or at the end of an academic session as specified in faculty regulations. A student placed on probation is advised to discuss his/her program prior to the next registration with a representative of the dean or director to determine which courses, if any, should be repeated.
A student placed on academic suspension will normally be permitted to apply for re-entry to the faculty or school after one year has elapsed, but reinstatement is not automatic and individual faculty or school regulations must always be consulted.
While on suspension, students are not normally admissible to another faculty or school.
Other Forms of Earning Degree Credit
Letter of Permission for Transfer of Credit
Students in degree programs at this university may take courses at other recognized colleges or universities for transfer of credit provided such courses are approved at least one month prior to the commencement of classes at the other institution by the faculty or school in which they are currently registered. The approval is subject to individual faculty/school regulations and is granted in the form of a Letter of Permission. The student must obtain a Letter of Permission whether or not the course/s being taken are for transfer of credit to the University of Manitoba. Failure to obtain a Letter of Permission may have serious academic implications.
To obtain a Letter of Permission, application must be made to the Registrar’s Office as early as possible and at least one month prior to when required at the other institution.
Each application must be accompanied by the appropriate fee. The fees are for each application and a separate application is required for each session and institution regardless of the number of courses being considered. Students planning to seek permission to take courses elsewhere for transfer of credit to the University of Manitoba are cautioned to check the current Academic Calendar for the residence and degree requirements of the degree programs in which they are enrolled.
Transferred courses will be given assigned credit hour values and grades. The transferred grade will be included in the student's degree and cumulative GPA.
Challenge for Credit
The purpose of Challenge for Credit is to provide students of the university with some means of obtaining academic credit in University of Manitoba courses (not otherwise obtainable as a transfer of credit from other institutions) for practical training and experience, or reading and study previously completed. Students who have registered to challenge would normally not attend classes or laboratories. Courses which have previously been taken at the University of Manitoba may not be challenged for credit.
To be eligible to challenge for credit a student must first be admitted to a faculty or school of the University of Manitoba. Eligible students will be required to demonstrate their competence in the courses which they are challenging for credit. Where formal, written examinations are required, these will be generally scheduled during the regular examination sessions in April/May, June, August, or December.
For information regarding requirements, procedures, applications and fees a student should contact the office of the faculty or school in which the student is enrolled, or in the case of new students, the faculty or school to which the new student has been admitted.
Application of Course Credit when transferring between Programs within the University of Manitoba
When students transfer into program from another faculty or school within the University of Manitoba, some course credits previously earned may be applied to the new program. The credit hour value assigned by the faculty or school that offers the course is used. That is, there can only be one credit weight designated for a course with a particular course number.
Academic Appeals
With the exception of decisions on admissions or disciplinary matters, all academic appeals from decisions of faculty or school appeals committees at the University of Manitoba or by the Comiteé d’appels at Université de Saint-Boniface shall be heard by the Senate Appeals Committee regardless of the institute of registration of the student concerned.
The complete terms of reference for the Senate Committee on Appeals as well as an Appeal Form may be obtained from the Office of the University Secretary, 312 Administration Building or Student Advocacy/Student Resource Services, 519 University Centre.
Academic Integrity
The University of Manitoba takes academic integrity seriously. As a member of the International Centre for Academic Integrity, the University defines academic integrity as a commitment to six fundamental values: honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility and courage. (International Centre for Academic Integrity, 2014)
To help students understand the expectations of the University of Manitoba, definitions for the types of prohibited behaviours are in the Student Academic Misconduct Procedure and provided below.
"Academic Misconduct" means any conduct that has, or might reasonably be seen to have, an adverse effect on the academic integrity of the University, including but not limited to:
(a) Plagiarism – the presentation or use of information, ideas, images, sentences, findings, etc. as one’s own without appropriate attribution in a written assignment, test or final examination.
(b) Cheating on Quizzes, Tests, or Final Examinations – the circumventing of fair testing procedures or contravention of exam regulations. Such acts may be premeditated/planned or may be unintentional or opportunistic.
(c) Inappropriate Collaboration – when a student and any other person work together on assignments, projects, tests, labs or other work unless authorized by the course instructor.
(d) Duplicate Submission – cheating where a student submits a paper/assignment/test in full or in part, for more than one course without the permission of the course instructor.
(e) Personation – writing an assignment, lab, test, or examination for another student, or the unauthorized use of another person’s signature or identification in order to impersonate someone else. Personation includes both the personator and the person initiating the personation.
(f) Academic Fraud – falsification of data or official documents as well as the falsification of medical or compassionate circumstances/documentation to gain accommodations to complete assignments, tests or examinations.
Note that the above applies to written, visual, and spatial assignments as well as oral presentations.
Over the course of your university studies, you may find yourself in situations that can make the application of these definitions unclear. The University of Manitoba wants to help you be successful, and this includes providing you with the knowledge and tools to support your decisions to act with integrity. There are a number of people and places on campus that will help you understand the rules and how they apply to your academic work. If you have questions or are uncertain about what is expected of you in your courses, you have several options:
- Ask your professor, instructor, or teaching assistant for assistance or clarification.
- Get support from the Academic Learning Centre or Libraries:
- Visit the Academic Integrity site for information and tools to help you understand academic integrity.
- Make an appointment with the Student Advocacy office. This office assists students to understand their rights and responsibilities and provides support to students who have received an allegation of academic misconduct.
Appeals of Grades
Appeal of Term Work
Students may formally appeal a grade received for term work provided that the matter has been discussed with the instructor in the first instance in an attempt to resolve the issue without the need of formal appeal. Term work grades normally may be appealed up to ten (10) working days after the grades for the term work have been made available to the student.
The fee which is charged for each appealed term work grade will be refunded for any grade which is changed as a result of the appeal.
Appeal of Final Grades
Final grades are not released to students who are on “Hold Status”; the deadline for appeal of assigned grades will not be extended for students who were unable to access their final grades due to a hold.
These regulations expand on the Final Grades Procedures found in the University Policies and Procedures.
Attendance and Withdrawal
Attendance at Class and Debarment
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 or school regulations.
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.
Withdrawal from Courses and Programs
Voluntary Withdrawal
The registration revision period extends two weeks from the first day of classes in both Fall and Winter terms. Courses dropped during this period shall not be regarded as withdrawals and shall not be recorded on official transcripts or student histories. The revision period is prorated for Summer terms and for parts of term.
After the registration revision period ends, voluntary withdrawals (VWs) will be recorded on official transcripts and student histories.
The following dates are deadlines for voluntary withdrawals:
- The Voluntary Withdrawal deadline shall be the 48th teaching day in both Fall and Winter term for those half-courses taught over the whole of each term;
- The Voluntary Withdrawal deadline for full-courses taught over both Fall and Winter term shall be the 48th teaching day of the Winter term; and
- The Voluntary Withdrawal deadline for full-and-half courses taught during Summer terms or during some other special schedule shall be calculated in a similar manner using a pro-rated number of teaching days.
The exact Voluntary Withdrawal dates that apply to courses offered in the current academic session are published in the Academic Schedule.
Authorized Withdrawal
Subject to the provision of satisfactory documentation to the faculty of registration, Authorized Withdrawals (AWs) may be permitted on medical or compassionate grounds.
Required Withdrawal from Professional Programs
Senate, at the request of some faculties and schools, has approved bylaws granting them the authority to require a student to withdraw on the basis of unsuitability for the practice of the profession to which the program of study leads.
This right may be exercised at any time throughout the academic year or following the results of examinations at the end of every year.
This right to require a student to withdraw prevails notwithstanding any other provisions in the academic regulations of the particular faculty or school regarding eligibility to proceed or repeat.
Where Senate has approved such a bylaw, that fact is indicated in the Academic Calendar chapter for that faculty or school. A copy of the professional unsuitability bylaw may be obtained from the general office of the faculty or school.
Deferred and Supplemental Examinations
These regulations expand on the Deferred and Supplemental Examinations Procedures found in the University Policies and Procedures.
Accepting Standing in Course without Examination
In the event that a student is unable to write a deferred examination as it has been scheduled, a grade may be assigned without examination (please refer to the Deferred and Supplemental Examinations Procedures). A student who accepts standing in a course without examination may not, at a later date, request permission to write a deferred examination in the course.
Supplemental Examinations
Supplemental Examinations are offered by some faculties to students who have not achieved the minimum result in required courses.
Students who are granted supplemental privileges are normally required to sit the examination within thirty (30) working days from the end of the examination series in which the supplemental grade was received, unless the progression rules of a faculty or school require the successful completion of an entire academic year before a student is eligible to proceed into the next. In this case, students are obliged to sit the examination at the next ensuing examination period.
Final Examinations
These regulations expand on the Final Examinations and Final Grades Policy and Procedures found in the University Policies and Procedures.
General Examination Regulations
Students (with the exception of students auditing courses) are required to write all final examinations. Those who absent themselves without an acceptable reason will receive a grade classification of “NP” (No Paper) accompanied by a letter grade based on term work completed, using a zero value for incomplete term work and for the final examination. If no credit for term work is involved, a grade of “F” will be assigned. Under certain conditions a student may apply for a deferred examination; see Deferred and Supplemental Examinations.
Examination Schedules
For most faculties, schools and colleges, final examinations are normally conducted in December for Fall Term courses; in April/May for Winter Term and Fall/Winter Term spanned courses; and in August for Distance and Online Education Summer Term courses. Exact dates for the exam period can be found in the Academic Schedule.
The Schedule of Final Exams for Fall and Winter is made available by the Registrar’s Office approximately one month after the beginning of the term. This schedule is made available on the Registrar’s Office Website and includes finalized dates and times for each exam. Exam locations are added to the schedule at a later date. Summer Term courses, final exam details will be made available at the time of registration.
Students must remain available until all examination and test obligations have been fulfilled. Travel plans are not an acceptable reason for missing an exam.
Examination Personations
A student who arranges for another individual to undertake or write any nature of examination for and on his/her behalf, as well as the individual who undertakes or writes the examination, will be subject to discipline under the university’s Student Discipline Bylaw, which could lead to suspension or expulsion from the university. In addition, the Canadian Criminal Code treats the personation of a candidate at a competitive or qualifying examination held at a university as an offence punishable by summary conviction.
Hold Status
More details about being on Hold can be found online on the Registrar's Office website.
Students will be placed on "Hold Status" if they incur any type of outstanding obligation (either financial or otherwise) to the university or its associated faculties, schools, colleges or administrative units.
Some typical reasons for holds are:
- Program/course selection must be approved
- U1 student must transit into the Faculty of Arts or Science
- Required Major, Minor and/or Concentration declaration
- Transcripts or documents required from other institutions
- Unpaid tuition and/or other university fees
- Outstanding library books and/or fines
- Parking fines
- Pending disciplinary action
Depending on the reason for the hold, limited or no administrative or academic services will be provided to students on Hold Status until the specific obligations have been met.
Students must clear their holds prior to registration by contacting the appropriate office. Students with outstanding financial obligations to the university will not be permitted to register again until the hold has been cleared or permission to register has been obtained from the Office of the Vice-President (Administration).
Advisor and Program Holds
Students enroled in some programs are required to discuss their course selections and program status with an advisor prior to registration. Advisor and Program Holds normally only restrict registration activity; other administrative services remain available.
Students can verify whether their program requires consultation with an advisor by checking their faculty/school section of the Academic Calendar, or by viewing their Registration Time and Status in Aurora.
Graduation and Convocation
Graduation
Students may graduate from the University of Manitoba in May/June, October, and February of each year. (Convocation ceremonies are held in May/June and October only).
Students are eligible to graduate when they have completed all of the requirements for their degree program in accordance with the regulations described in the chapter General Academic Regulations and the regulations available from the general offices of their faculties and schools.
It is the responsibility of each student to be familiar with the graduation requirements of the program in which they are enrolled. Consultation with academic advisors is advised to ensure that graduation requirements are met.
Please refer to the Registrar’s Office website for Frequently asked Questions about Graduation and Convocation.
Application for Graduation
Every candidate for a degree, diploma or certificate must make formal application at the beginning of the session in which he/she expects to complete graduation requirements.
Application is to be made through Aurora Student. (Log into Aurora Student; click Enrolment and Academic Records, then Declarations, then Declare Graduation Date.)
Changing a Graduation Date
If you need to change your graduation date after you have made your declaration, you must contact the general office of your faculty, college, or school as soon as possible.
Receipt of Information about Graduation
After you have declared your graduation, you will be sent a series of e-mails to your University e-mail account, requesting you to verify your full legal name, asking you about your attendance at convocation, providing convocation information, and so on. It is imperative that you activate your University of Manitoba email account and check it regularly.
Convocation
Convocation ceremonies are held in May/June and October of each year.
February graduates are invited to attend the May/June ceremonies.
Graduating students are encouraged to attend with their families and friends because it is the one ceremonial occasion that marks the successful conclusion of their program of studies.
Graduates who wish to attend Convocation, verify their attendance at the Convocation ceremony by reserving their academic attire through the University approved supplier.
Students who, for any reason, do not attend Convocation will receive their degrees in absentia.
The Registrar’s Office will hold unclaimed parchments for a maximum of twelve months after graduation when any unclaimed parchments will be destroyed. These will include those not given at Convocation, those that were to be picked up in person but not claimed, those that were mailed but returned to the Registrar’s Office by the postal outlet or courier depot, those that were not issued due to a financial hold on a student’s records, and those that were reprinted immediately after convocation due to corrections.
It is critical that you update your address, phone number and email through Aurora whenever changes occur. Note that any changes made with the Alumni Association are not reflected in your University of Manitoba student records.
If you do not receive your parchment, it is your responsibility to follow up with the Registrar’s Office within a twelve-month period. Any requests for parchments after this time will be processed as replacements; there is a fee charged for replacement parchments.
Academic Dress
Students are responsible for making arrangements to reserve their academic attire through the University approved supplier. Rental fees apply. Details will be provided via e-mail once Convocation planning begins.
Convocation Information
Information on Convocation may be found on the Graduation/Convocation website.
Personal Information
Mailing Address
In order to receive University mail, it is essential that you to provide the Registrar’s Office with your current address. All mail will be directed to the address you provide. You may change your mailing address and phone number by accessing Aurora Student and then selecting Personal Information.
