Faculty Academic Regulations

Admission to the Faculty of Arts B.A. General, Advanced or Honours Degree Programs

The following is a summary of the admission requirements. All admission requirements, as well as application deadline dates and forms, are includ­ed in the Faculty of Arts Applicant Information Bulletin that is available from the Admissions Office, Enrolment Services, 424 University Centre; this information is also posted on the University of Manitoba website.

Other than the Direct Entry and Casual student, completion of a minimum of 24 credit hours of university level courses is required. Depending on the academic performance on the courses accept­able for credit, students may be admitted to or transit into the Faculty in good standing or on the recommendation of the Dean.

At the point of admission or transfer 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 entry to either the Advanced Degree Program or the Honours Degree program.

The specific requirements for the General, Advanced and Honours Degree programs are in Basic Faculty Regulations for the B.A. General, Advanced and Honours Degree Programs.

Each department and program outlines its entry requirements.

Direct Entry from High School

Eligible students may apply to enter the Faculty of Arts upon completion of a high school diploma.

Applicants applying directly to the Faculty of Arts from a Manitoba High School (or equivalent) must meet General Entrance Requirements and Specific Admission Requirements.

The General Entrance requirement is Manitoba high school graduation (5 full credits at the Grade 12 level in courses designated S,G, or U).

The Specific Admission Requirement for the Faculty of Arts is a minimum 70% average over the following four courses with no less than 60% in each course:

• Grade 12 English 40S
• Grade 12 Mathematics 40S
• Two additional academic Grade 12 40S courses

Transit from University 1

Students may transit to the Faculty of Arts from University 1 prior to Fall Term registration only. The transit function is available on Aurora Student. There are no fees for transiting and there is no application form required.

To be eligible to transit, a student must have achieved a minimum Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 2.00 on 24 credit hours. Students who have completed more than 24 credit hours at the point of transit must have achieved a minimum Adjusted Grade Point Average (AGPA) of 2.00. The AGPA calculation will be on the best graded 24 credit hours at the point of transit.

Students who do not meet the minimum transit eligibility requirements should refer to the University 1 section of the calendar for information regarding how to establish their eligibility.

When a student transits from University 1 to the Faculty of Arts, they are automatically enrolled in the B.A. General Degree program. If a student wishes to enter the B.A. Advanced or the B.A. Honours degree programs, they should contact the Faculty of Arts Student Services Office for assistance. U1 students planning to pursue a Bachelor of Arts degree should refer to the charts in the departmental sections of the undergraduate calendar for information on prerequisite courses and minimum performance required for entry. Completion of these requirements while in U1 will prepare a student to complete their chosen program in the prescribed timeframe.

For further information, please contact a Faculty of Arts Academic Advisor and/or refer to the Faculty of Arts Applicant Information Bulletin and the University of Manitoba Admissions website.

Admission as a Transfer Student

Students transferring to the Faculty of Arts from another faculty or school at the University of Manitoba are called "internal transfers." Students trans­ferring to the Faculty of Arts from another university or college are called "external transfers."

Transfer students must apply for admission to the Faculty of Arts, Advanced Entry Option, on-line  by the application deadline date.

For the University of Manitoba's general policy on external transfer stu­dents and advanced standing, see Admission to the Univer­sity of Manitoba.

Students who apply to transfer to the Faculty of Arts must have completed no fewer than 24 credit hours of university level coursework and must have achieved a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.00. Students who have com­pleted 24 credit hours or more and who have not achieved at least a 2.00 cumulative grade point average will be considered for admission on the basis of an adjusted grade point average which is a 2.00 grade point average on the best 24 credit hours. Students who have exceeded the maximum number of "F" grades permitted on cours­es acceptable for credit in Arts should contact the Faculty of Arts for further information and advice.

Anyone who has been placed on academic suspension by another faculty, school, or external institution will not normally be admissible if less than one year has elapsed since they had been placed on suspension. The waiting period will be increased to two years if the student has been placed on suspension more than once in consecutive years. Please refer to information on transfer credit.

Admission as a Second Degree Student

A student who holds an undergraduate degree from a recognized uni­versity program (including the University of Manitoba) may apply for admission to pursue a second undergradu­ate degree from the Faculty of Arts. For information regarding possible transfer credit please contact a Faculty of Arts Academic Advisor.

Admission as a Visiting Student

A “visiting” student is one who is pursuing a degree at another institution and whose basis of admission is a Letter of Permission from their home institution granting permission to register at the University of Manitoba. Previously admitted visiting students can register in a subsequent term without applying for admission, provided they have a Letter of Permission and have not changed their home institution. Certain restrictions may be placed on the kind and number of courses in which they will be allowed to register.

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

1. 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.
2. 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

1. 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.
2. 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).
3. Students must meet the minimum performance level.

Ten Faculty Requirements for Graduating with a B.A. General Degree

1. 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.
   
   The minimum 90 credit hours of passed coursework must also include the remaining nine faculty requirements:
2. At least six credit hours from subject fields designated Humanities, at least six credit hours from subject fields designated Social Science, at least six credit hours from the list of courses that satisfy the Science requirement, and at least three credit hours from the list of courses that satisfy the Indigenous Content requirement. 
3.

A subject field may also satisfy other Bachelor of Arts Degree requirements such as Humanities, or Social Sciences, or Indigenous Content, or Mathematics, or Written English.
4. 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.
5. 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.

10. Residency Requirement: A student in the B.A. General Degree Program must complete University of Manitoba residency requirements.

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.

Entrance to the B.A. Advanced Degree Program

1. To enter the Bachelor of Arts Advanced Degree program, a student must have successfully completed a minimum of 24 credit hours and attained a minimum DGPA of 2.00 or higher.

For entry to a B.A. Advanced Major requiring courses from only one department, the faculty requirement is a grade of "C" or better in the prerequisite course(s). Prerequisite courses and any supplemental Advanced Major entry requirements are listed in each department's section of the undergraduate calendar.

Together with the above, students who have taken additional courses toward the B.A. Advanced Major require a "C" average in all Advanced Major required courses, including the higher grade of any repeated course(s) and excluding any failed course(s).

For entry to a B.A. Advanced Major program requiring courses from more than one department, students must have an average of "C" or better in the courses eligible to count toward the requirements of the chosen Advanced Major Program.

2. All students are required, upon entering the Single Advanced Major Program, to declare a Major and Minor. Students entering the Double Advanced Major Program are required to declare two Majors. 

For additional information regarding entrance into Majors (such as which courses are eligible for counting as fulfilling the Major) see the specific list­ing for the relevant department. Students with ques­tions about an Advanced Major in a particular subject should consult an instructor in the appropriate department.

To officially declare an Advanced Major, students must fill out the application form and meet with an Arts Academic Advisor. Application forms are available in the Faculty of Arts Student Services Office (134 Fletcher Argue) or on the Faculty of Arts website.

3. For entry to the Minor a grade of “C” or better in the prerequisite course(s) is required.

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.

Major, Minor (Concentration) or Honours Programs

1. The Faculty of Arts offers various Majors, Minors (Concentrations) and Honours programs. Here is a listing of the programs and also refer to the respective unit pages.
2. Major and Minor (Concentration) programs offered by other Faculties or Schools are list­ed here. These include a General Major, Advanced Major and Mi­nor (Concentration) offered by the Department of Mathematics, a Minor in Business offered by the Faculty of Management/I.H. Asper School of Business, and a General Major and Minor (Concentration) in Art History offered by the School of Art.

An Arts student may declare a Minor (Concentration) (dependent on the student's program) offered by any Faculty and School providing the Minor (Concentration) program consists of a minimum of 18 credit hours. 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.

1. 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.
2. 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

1. 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.
2. 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

1. 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.
2. 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

1. 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. 
2. 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.
3. 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

1. 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).
2. 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.

1. 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-of-Study Equivalents

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:

1. 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
2. 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.)

Dean’s Honour List and Graduating with Distinction or First Class Honours

Dean's Honour List

Co-operative Education in the Faculty of Arts

Co-operative Education is available to students in any of the Bachelor of Arts Advanced or Bachelor of Arts Honours degree programs whose department offers Co-operative Education as an option. Co-op is an arrangement in which students spend alternating in academic terms and employment.

There are several advantages to Co-operative Education, including but not limited to the following:

Applying theoretical knowledge gained in the classroom to real life, working situations and applying knowledge gained in the workplace to the theory being taught in class. Both the academic and practical experiences are enriched by the other.

• Students who complete Co-op are successful at exploring and selecting areas of specialization within their chosen field of study.
• Enhanced professional development through networking, participation in conferences and workshops, acquisition of foundational skills around strategies for seeking and obtaining employment.
• Students earn competitive wages and thus have the opportunity to defray the costs of their education by participating in Co-operative Education.

Academic Regulations

Applying to the Co-operative Education Program

Students must check with the Faculty of Arts Co-op Coordinator for information regarding application deadlines and start dates. Students will be notified of their provisional acceptance to the program by September each year.  

Acceptance to the program is dependent upon the student receiving a job placement. Employers will select the student they wish to employ and students are advised that satisfying the entrance requirements does not guarantee a place in the Co-operative option. The department reserves the right to identify and select the best qualified candidates.

Applicants will be interviewed and approved by the Co-op staff and departmental faculty advisors. Final acceptance to the program will be confirmed in writing by the Co-op Office.

International Students planning to complete courses or programs that require work placement must obtain a valid work permit, in addition to maintaining a valid study permit. Please contact the International Centre for further information on the requirements that need to be met in order to apply for Co-op Option work placement.

Entrance to the Co-operative Education Option

To enter a Faculty of Arts Co-op program, a student must be eligible to enter the specific Advanced Degree or Honours Degree Program offered by the department offering a Co-op program. Departments may also stipulate additional requirements for entering the Co-op option related to their program. Please refer to Faculty Regulations and the specific departmental calendar entry for information regarding entering the Bachelor of Arts Advanced and Honours degrees, including any related Co-operative Education options.

The Co-operative Education option is not available to students pursuing the three-year Bachelor of Arts General Degree or Bachelor of Arts Integrated Studies Degree.

The normal point of entry to a Faculty of Arts Co-op program is following the completion of second year. Students must have completed at least 48 credit hours in order to be eligible to enter Arts Co-op.

Students are required to complete an application form, available in the Faculty of Arts Co-op Coordinator’s office. Students are also required to register in the appropriate Co-op courses and pay the applicable course and administrative fees prior to beginning their work placement. Normally, no portion of the administration fee will be refunded.

Continuation in the Co-operative Education Option

Academic Term Requirements

All performance regulations governing Faculty of Arts degree programs apply to students in programs with Co-operative Education options. Departments may also stipulate additional requirements for continuing in the Co-op option related to their program. Please refer to Faculty Regulations and the specific departmental calendar entry for information regarding continuing in the Bachelor of Arts Advanced and Honours degrees, including the related Co-op options.

The coursework requirements of the different Co-operative education options are equivalent to the coursework requirements outlined in each Advanced or Honours degree program offering Co-op as an option.

Each work term is assigned one (1) credit hour. The combination of the minimum 3 employment terms is equal to one 3 credit hour course for use toward the Bachelor of Arts degree.

Course Load Expectations

It is recommended that students in a Co-op option maintain full time status (min. 9 credit hours per academic term) when not completing a work term placement.

Employment Term Requirements

Number and Length of Terms

All Co-operative Options will include a minimum of 12 months spent in employment terms with a Department and Faculty approved employer. Normally each employment term will be completed with a single employer.  

Limits on Coursework While Completing a Work Term

While completing a work term, students are not permitted to take more than one course at a time.

Grading of Work Terms

Co-operative Option students are required to submit at least three written employment reports on their employment term activities. These reports are due at times designated by the student’s department and the Faculty of Arts Co-op Coordinator.  

Co-operative Option work term reports are graded as Pass/Fail. In order to remain in the Co-operative Option, students must obtain a grade of “Pass” for each term work report. Each department will provide students with instructions regarding the content and format requirements of the employment reports.

Unsatisfactory Performance

Indications of unsatisfactory performance by a student in an employment term will be thoroughly investigated by the student’s department and the Faculty of Arts Co-op Coordinator. If the investigation finds that benefits from further professional training are questionable, the student may be required to withdraw from the Co-operative Option. The student would then be eligible to enter the regular Advanced or Honours program, provided the student meets the minimum academic requirements of the target program.

Schedule and Sequence

The Co-operative option consists of both academic terms and work terms. The sequence of academic terms and work terms will be variable to suit the needs of each department. In order to satisfy course and program requirements, timetables may differ from the regular program. Except where stipulated by specific Faculty and Departmental regulations related to the  different Co-operative Education options, students working toward the completion of Co-op will be evaluated and assessed in the same manner as regular students and all rules and regulations of the Faculty of Arts continue to apply to students in the Co-operative Education option. Students must be aware of terms when required courses may or may not be offered and plan their timetables accordingly.

Students are expected to follow the academic/employment term sequence defined by their department, from entry to completion.

Withdrawal from the Co-operative Education Option

Students may be required to withdraw from the program for any of the following reasons:

• Failure to maintain the minimum academic requirements set out by the department offering Co-operative Education;
• Failure to maintain the minimum academic requirements of the Faculty of Arts degree they are pursuing (Advanced or Honours);
• Unsatisfactory performance in the workplace during an employment term; or,
• Any violation of the University of Manitoba Academic Integrity regulations, in any course.

Students who wish to withdraw voluntarily from the Co-op Program may do so in writing to the Faculty of Arts Co-op Coordinator prior to:

• participating in the recruitment period (applications and/or interviews);
• accepting a position for a work term placement;
• the VW deadline for the term in question.

A student who selects, or is required, to withdraw after participating in the recruitment period or after accepting a position with an employer for a work term placement without written approval of the Co-op Coordinator will have the following notation placed on their transcript: “Required to Withdraw from the Co-operative Education Option”

Graduation Requirements of the Co-operative Education Option

The Bachelor of Arts Advanced and Honours degrees are comprised of 120 credit hours.  Students who intend to complete the Co-op Option must also successfully complete a minimum of three, four-month work term placements. Each work term is assigned one (1) credit hour. The combination of the minimum three employment terms is equal to one, three credit hour course for use toward the requirements of the Bachelor of Arts degree.

Work-term credit hours may only be used toward programs offering a Co-operative Education Option.

Except where stipulated by specific Faculty and Departmental regulations related to the various Co-operative Education options, students working toward the completion of Co-op will be evaluated and assessed in the same manner as regular students and all rules and regulations of the Faculty of Arts continue to apply to students in the Co-operative Education Option.

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

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:

Grade Point Average

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.
