Canadian Indigenous Ancestry Admissions Category

To address the under-representation of Indigenous students in the Interdisciplinary Health Program, a special admissions category for First Nations, Métis and Inuit students has been created. All Canadian Indigenous applicants are encouraged to apply to this category and self-declare their Indigenous heritage.

Canadian Indigenous applicants who select the Indigenous category for admission will be considered in the general admission category first, and then in the Indigenous category. Applicants to the Indigenous admissions category will be ranked based on calculated Adjusted Grade Point Average (for Advanced Entry applicants) or high school admission average (for Direct Entry applicants) to determine which students are admitted.

For students wishing to choose the focused approach for entry to the Interdisciplinary Health Program, the course requirements for each of the programs or areas of concentration offered by the program are described in the Start Book.

Academic Regulations

Interdisciplinary Health Program Academic Regulations Intro

The provisions of the General Academic Regulations, and the University Policies and Procedures, apply to all students. In addition, the Interdisciplinary Health Program has regulations and requirements, published below, that apply specifically to its students.

Prerequisite, Corequisite, and Course Availability: Definitions

Prerequisite

If a course is prerequisite to a second course, the prerequisite must be met in order to continue in the second course. The department giving the second course may require a minimum grade of ‘C’ in the first course to register in the second course. Some inactive (legacy) courses may be used as prerequisites.

Corequisite

If a first course is a corequisite to a second course, the first course (unless previously completed) must be taken in the same term as the second course.

Course Availability

Not all courses listed are offered every year. Students are referred to the on-line calendar for courses offered in the year.

Scholastic Standards

Graduation and Grade Point Average

To graduate, a student must have passed 120 credit hours acceptable for credit in the current degree program and have obtained a minimum of 300 quality points. This is equivalent to a Degree Grade Point Average (DGPA) of 2.50. A pass indicates a grade of ‘D’ or better. DGPA will be determined from the number of effective courses which apply at a particular stage. The effective courses consist of all courses passed, plus all failures which have not been cleared, or substituted for, in the student’s record. A maximum of 150 credit hours may be attempted and applied to the DGPA in order to obtain the 120 credit hours needed to graduate.

Assessment

The status of each student will be assessed at the end of each term in which a student is registered.  Assessments can include the following comments:

• Faculty minimum met (grade point average meets the standards);
• Dean′s Honour
• Academic Warning
• Probationary status
• On Suspension 

Academic warning indicates a degree grade point average that is below the minimum DGPA requirement of 2.0 when the student is between 9 and 21 credit hours.

Probationary Standing

Students must meet or exceed the following standards at the specified stages in their academic careers. Failure to meet the standard results in probation. Once placed on probation, students who fail to achieve the appropriate performance level at the next assessment will be academically suspended. A student is not permitted to be on probation for two consecutive years.

Assessment Standards

 Interdisciplinary Health Program: Health Sciences and Health Studies

Assessment Standards

Credit Hours	Grade Point Average	Comment
9 – 21 credit hours	< 2.0	Academic Warning
24 – 30 credit hours	2.0
33 – 60 credit hours	2.2
63 – 90 credit hours	2.4
93 – 117 credit hours	2.5
120+ credit hours	2.5

On Suspension

A student who receives an Academic Suspension assessment from the Interdisciplinary Health Program is not permitted to register in any other faculty or school at the University of Manitoba. If a student completes courses at another postsecondary institution while serving a suspension, the student will be required to reapply for admission to the University of Manitoba and meet admission requirements. Students should consult Other Admission Categories and Attendance at Other Institutions for more details.

Students who are on academic suspension may not use courses taken at another institution during the period of suspension for credit towards an Interdisciplinary Health Program degree at the University of Manitoba.

Returning from Suspension

Suspended students cannot register for courses during their suspension, but are not required to withdraw from their Degree Program. Following the one-year suspension, the student will be required to contact an Interdisciplinary Health Program academic advisor before returning. After returning from suspension, the student will be on probation and must maintain the appropriate performance level for 1 year or another suspension will be levied.

Part-time Students

The maximum time allowed for completion of the degree is 10 years. Part-time students will be evaluated each term they are registered for and must conform to the minimum performance levels.

Repeating Courses

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.

A student may repeat any course for the purpose of attaining a better grade. For courses (or their equivalent) that are repeated in Fall 2016 or later, the highest grade will count. There are no supplemental examinations for students who have failed final or deferred examinations.

Challenge for Credit

A student wishing to challenge a course for credit should contact an Academic Advisor. Letter grades are granted upon completion of the course that is challenged for credit. An application is required.

Transfer of Credit

Please refer to Admissions and Transfer of Credit.

Credits must have been completed within the last 10 years at the time of admission to the IHP in order to be eligible for transfer into the degree.

Appeals of Academic Regulations

The Committee on Student Standing considers petitions from students who request special consideration with respect to rules and regulations governing their programs of study and qualification for graduation.

Dean’s Honour List

Students who complete 12 credit hours or more and achieve a Term Grade Point Average of 3.75 or higher, will be placed on the Dean's Honour List. The Dean's Honour List will be calculated at the conclusion of each term.

Degree With Distinction

Students who graduate with a degree GPA of 3.75 and higher will receive a degree with distinction.

Work Permit for Study Purposes

International students who are registering for courses or programs that require work placement must obtain a valid Work Permit, in addition to maintaining a valid Study Permit. Work placement includes, but is not limited to, any paid or unpaid practicum, internships, work experience, field placement, and co-op programs that are a required component for the completion of their degree, diploma or certificate. Please contact your program advisor or the International Centre for Students for further information.

Release and Indemnification Forms

In elective courses, students may be required to sign a release form for off-campus activities.

Written English and Mathematics Requirements

The written English and Mathematics requirements are satisfied by required courses HNSC 2000 (or the former HMEC 2000) and STAT 1000 within the Interdisciplinary Health Program. HNSC 2000 (or the former HMEC 2000) will be available to students upon admission to the Interdisciplinary Health Program.

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.
