FIRST YEAR PLANNINGAs a first year student at the University of Manitoba you are taking the first steps toward a new experience. You will make decisions about your course selections, your choice of faculty, learn about career options, and experience a wealth of extra-curricular activities to help you gain skills outside of the classroom. You will meet new people, do new things, and learn about yourself.

With so many choices, mapping out your path requires a little guidance – and that’s why we are here. The Academic Advising team in the University 1 First Year Centre offers academic advising and student success resources to all first year students. We work with all faculties and schools across campus to provide each first year student with the right advice and support for their first year.

One of the first steps along your path is to make decisions about your destination and how you want to get there. This means knowing what areas you wish to study and the courses needed for the first year in one or more degree programs at the University of Manitoba.

So let’s get started by looking at where you can get the information you need to begin planning.

STEP 1: USE THE RESOURCESEXPLORE YOUR OPTIONSThe starting point in defining your future begins with setting the direction you want to head toward, so begin by exploring your faculty and/or career options.

Keep in mind that deciding on your future takes time, and you should not feel pressured to select just one faculty or one career path. Even if you know the exact degree you want to pursue, you will benefit from some research to explore options and opportunities. Your first year should be a time for you to discover what you want from your university education.

THE START BOOKThis Start Book is designed to guide you through the process of course selection and registration so that you are enrolled as early as possible in the right courses, and ready to begin your studies on the first day of classes.

In this book, each degree program is introduced with basic information on the first year courses to be completed in Year 1 using three different approaches to your course selection. Read more about these approaches to studying in Step 2: Select Your Courses.

U OF M WEBSITESBefore you commit to a direction, find out as much as you can about your target faculties and schools. The more information you have about a given field, the better and easier it is to make a choice in which you are confident. Your interests in various degree programs can help influence your elective choices by selecting courses that are offered by your desired faculty or school.

Use the faculty and school websites at umanitoba.ca/faculties to find out more information about each degree program of interest. Review the University 1 and your intended faculty or school websites regularly as news, information, and events are constantly updated.

Additionally, investigate the various fields within your area of interest and take a look at future job prospects and working conditions. You can visit the U of M’s Student Counselling and Career Centre at 474 University Centre or online at umanitoba.ca/student/counselling for information and assistance with career exploration.

Lastly, familiarize yourself with the Applicant Information Bulletins of your intended faculty or school. The Applicant Information Bulletins outline the admission regulations and procedures, Grade Point Average (GPA) calculations for admission, as well as provide information related to specialized entrance requirements for each of the U of M’s degree programs.

See the Applicant Information Bulletins at umanitoba.ca/admissions/application

ACADEMIC CALENDAR

Once you have an idea of where you want to go, read the program entries that interest you in the Academic Calendar. The Academic Calendar is the University of Manitoba’s official publication containing course descriptions, program and graduation requirements, as well as university and faculty/school specific rules, regulations, and policies.

As a first year student it is important that you are aware of the Academic Calendar. Reference it when planning for and making decisions about your course selection and the number of courses you take each year. It is your tool for guiding and informing you of your degree requirements.

The Academic Calendar also provides the list of Recommended Introductory Courses to help you select courses that are approved for credit in all degree programs (except where noted) and are taught at a level that is appropriate for first year study. You will use this list when selecting courses to fulfill elective requirements.

The Academic Calendar can be found online at umanitoba.ca/calendar

ONLINE REGISTRATION TUTORIALSThe Online Registration Tutorials introduce you to Aurora Student – the University of Manitoba’s registration system – and demonstrate how to use the system and its functions to complete your registration.

There are several tutorials, each a few minutes in length, which specifically explain how to log in to the system, how to look up course descriptions and class time offerings, how to register, and how to view your fees, booklists, and grades.

You must view the tutorials prior to registration to ensure that you understand the process of registration and are able to use the system on your registration day.

View the Online Registration Tutorials at umanitoba.ca/registrar/tutorial

Talk to your advisor for guidance on which approach is right for you.

STEP 2: SELECT YOUR COURSESThe Start Book contains the best advice for selecting courses to meet your academic needs and career goals. Be sure to consult the Academic Calendar and each faculty or school’s Applicant Information Bulletins from the Admissions Office for additional information on program requirements and admission requirements and procedures.

HOW TO READ THE START BOOK PAGES:Each faculty or school page includes a course selection chart or advice about the requirements of the degree programs. The course selection charts on each page display the following three approaches to course selection:

The Focused Approach: Lists the courses required to complete the entire first year of the degree program for both University 1 and Direct Entry students. It normally includes 30 credit hours of courses, which is the usual maximum number of credit hours permitted in your first year.

The Balanced Approach: Lists the courses required to meet the minimum requirements for admission from University 1. If you want to balance the admission requirements to more than one target faculty or school, combine the courses listed in each program’s Balanced Approach into a single first year plan of study.

You can also follow this approach if you want to take a lighter course load in your first year.

The Sampling Approach: Lists the courses that will give you a good introduction to the faculty, school, or program in which they are offered, or that is needed to develop essential skills for further study.

Also included in most of the charts is the requirement to choose electives. Most programs have a certain number of credit hours that you are free to choose as you see fit; these are called electives. An elective may be any course from the list of Recommended Introductory Courses.

The list of Recommended Introductory Courses compiles all courses deemed to be taught at an appropriate level for a first year student and are acceptable for credit in all degree programs (except where noted). This list includes over 200 courses from various faculties and schools. Use this list to help you select your elective choices; it can be found at umanitoba.ca/u1. You may also be permitted to take other courses that are offered but do not appear on this list with the permission of the teaching faculty or school. Ask your Academic Advisor for more information.

Note: A glossary of definitions and terms used in the faculty and school pages can be found on page 70.

TIPS FOR CHOOSING COURSESEach faculty or school section includes information about registration tips and course selection advice to help guide your choices under the Tips for Choosing Courses. Also included in this section is information specific to Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) courses.

If you completed AP or IB courses in high school, wrote the exams and attained the minimum score, you may be eligible for transfer credit to reduce your first year course load. See the Admissions Office website at umanitoba.ca/admissions for course equivalency and minimum grade requirements.

HIGH SCHOOL PREREQUISITES FOR UNIVERSITY LEVEL COURSES:This section of the faculty and school pages list the high school courses that you need as prerequisites for certain university courses. If you are missing one or more of the high school prerequisites, you may be able to upgrade your standing to meet the prerequisite requirements by taking preparatory university level courses. See page 68 for a list of preparatory courses available at the University of Manitoba.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS FROM UNIVERSITY 1:The following requirements are for students who are using University 1 to complete their first year.

Minimum credit hours: The minimum number of credit hours needed for admission.

Minimum course load: This will indicate if full-time study or full course loads are required, or if part-time study is permitted during the Fall and Winter Terms. Also listed here is information on whether you can finish your required courses in Summer Session and still qualify for admission in the same year.

Minimum GPA: The minimum Grade Point Average (GPA) needed for admission to a faculty or school from University 1, with information on minimum grades required in each course where appropriate. Please note that admission GPA calculations are adjusted GPAs and may differ from institutional GPAs.

Refer to the Applicant Information Bulletins for information about the process used to calculate admission grades, categories of students admitted to each degree program, as well as other admission or entrance requirements such as testing, interviews, or vaccinations that are required in specific faculties and schools. Applicant Information Bulletins are available from the Admissions Office at 424 University Centre or online at umanitoba.ca/admissions

Additional requirements: Lists if there are other requirements for admission, such as an interview, entrance examination, CPR certification, Child Abuse Registry clearance, vaccinations, etc.

Selection criteria: Outlines the basis of admission decisions to the faculty or school.

Minimum time to graduation: The least amount of time it takes to finish the degree program, provided you successfully complete the maximum number of credit hours each year and follow the degree requirements. The total credit hours for completion of each degree in its entirety is noted as well.

STEP 3: CREATE A TIMETABLEAfter you decide what courses you want to take, you will need to create a timetable. Planning a timetable is about choice. You can choose a variety of times in which to schedule your classes, from morning to afternoon, and in some cases even evening classes. There is no set schedule to follow – you must make decisions in a way that best suits you. Creating your own timetable gives you the flexibility to plan your courses around your lifestyle and commitments.

Start by finding out when classes are offered; to do this you will need to use Aurora Student. The Online Registration Tutorials are designed to help you use Aurora Student, and the following tutorials will get you started:

• Getting Started with Aurora Student • How to use the course catalog and class schedule• Looking up classes• Understanding class search results

Go to umanitoba.ca/registrar/tutorial to begin the tutorials now.

After viewing the tutorials and looking up class offerings, you will be able to begin building your timetable. Courses are offered in two different terms during the Regular Session:

• Fall Term, running from September to December• Winter Term, running from January to April

Summer Session is also offered with courses running throughout May to August.

EXAMPLE TIMETABLE PLANNING FORM

Taking what you know about course offerings and setting it up in a day-to-day schedule is what timetabling is all about.

THE UNDERGRADUATE DEGREES OFFERED IN THE FACULTY OF ARTS INCLUDE THE B.A. GENERAL, THE B.A. ADVANCED, THE B.A. HONOURS AND THE B.A. INTEGRATED STUDIES. The Faculty of Arts is comprised of 15 departments in the Humanities, Social Sciences and Interdisciplinary Studies. The degree programs offered provide you with a liberal education and prepare you for a future career.

Special Study Features: The Faculty of Arts recognizes the value that international experience brings to your degree program and will grant university credit for a number of different types of programs abroad. You can partake in exchange programs, travel study courses and field study courses in over 18 countries that provide you with hands-on experience, travel and even work abroad.

DEGREES OFFERED IN THE FACULTY OF ARTS:B.A. General: A 90 credit hour degree which provides a general education in the Humanities and Social Sciences with a concentration in at least two subject areas (the Major and Minor or a Double Major with no Minor). Choose the B.A. General if you need a degree as an employment requirement, or if you plan to enter an academic program that requires a three year degree, such as Education, Occupational Therapy or Medicine.

B.A. Advanced: A 120 credit hour degree which provides a general education in the Humanities and Social Sciences with a concentration in at least two subject areas (the Major and Minor or a Double Major with no Minor). The Advanced degree differs from the General degree by requiring more courses in the Major field of study – giving a greater degree of specialization. Choose the B.A. Advanced if you want to develop a degree of specialization in one area of study, or if you plan to enter an academic program that requires a four year degree. Graduates of the B.A. Advanced degree who demonstrate a high level of academic performance may be eligible for admission to graduate programs.

B.A. Honours: The Honours degree ranging from 108 to 120 credit hours, provides a rigorous examination of a particular subject area. It differs from the B.A. Advanced degree by requiring more courses in the Honours field and by providing a greater intensity and depth of study. A Minor is optional in this program. Choose the B.A. Honours if you plan on continuing your education at the graduate level. Double Honours programs are available in some areas. See the Academic Calendar for details.

Note: The Advanced and Honours programs have admission requirements that differ from the General Degree requirements (see page 17). It is possible to enter the Advanced or Honours program upon completion of Year 2 or 3 if you do not meet these requirements at the end of your first year.

B.A. Integrated Studies: A 90 credit hour degree which provides a general education that includes 21 credit hours of required or foundation courses and 18 credit hours in an area of concentration. In this program, areas of concentration are all Minor programs offered by the Faculty of Arts and other faculties and schools as well as some areas not considered Minors. Choose the B.A. Integrated Studies degree if you are a working adult who has completed some post-secondary education and would like to complete an undergraduate degree.

The academic advisors helped to prepare me for my first year of university by helping me set academic goals. I am proud that I was able to navigate all the new experiences that come with university life, including being organized and independent enough to ensure my academic and social goals were met.

If you are admitted Direct Entry from high school to the Faculty of Arts, you should follow either the Focused or Balanced Approach for your course selection.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS FROM UNIVERSITY 1:Admission to the Faculty of Arts is an automatic process, referred to as a ‘transit’, and therefore does not require an application process for admission to the faculty. Once you have completed 24–30 credit hours of course work you are eligible to transit to the B.A. General degree. To be eligible for the B.A. Advanced and Honours degree you must satisfy the specific course requirements for each program listed on page 17.If you enter the Faculty of Arts under the B.A. General program you can always complete the specific requirements for the Advanced or Honours program following your transit to the Faculty of Arts and apply to the Honours or Advanced degree program in third year. In most cases, this can be done without additional years of study.

TIPS FOR CHOOSING COURSES:• Choose your W and M requirements from the list of

Recommended Introductory Courses at umanitoba.ca/u1• It is possible to satisfy the W requirement when you complete

the Humanities requirement.• It is possible to satisfy the M requirement when you complete

the Science requirement.• Your Humanities, Social Sciences and Sciences selections

can also be used to fulfill the five subject field requirements. E.g. PSYC 1200 is 6 credit hours of Social Sciences or ENGL 1200 is 6 credit hours of Humanities and satisfies the W requirement.


• An Inter-faculty Option in Aging is available to students in this faculty. See page 67 for more information.

• Students interested in the B.A. Integrated Studies Degree should contact an Academic Advisor in the Faculty of Arts for assistance with program planning.

You really have to watch your deadlines; no one is looking out for you. In fact, in some cases they are competing against you. Also, talking to an advisor can really help you, even if you don’t think you need help.

I wish I would have known that I needed to begin studying early and often rather than cramming before a test. My first term

I did exactly this, and the following term I began studying from day one and began to see my marks improve.

THE FACULTY OF EDUCATION (B.ED.) OFFERS AN AFTER-DEGREE PROGRAM WHICH PERMITS STUDENTS TO SPECIALIZE IN ONE OF THREE PROGRAM STREAMS: EARLY YEARS STREAM (K–GRADE 4), MIDDLE YEARS STREAM (GRADES 5–8), AND SENIOR YEARS STREAM (GRADES 9–12). Additionally, there is a specialized option for an Integrated Music/Education program.

Special Study Features: The Education program offers inner-city, urban and French immersion practicums. In addition, opportunities to travel, study, and take service learning courses in places like Thailand, France, Ethiopia, India and Peru will broaden your cross-cultural teaching experiences.

CHOOSE THE FOLLOWING COURSES FOR YOUR FIRST DEGREEAdmission to Education is based on the completion of an undergraduate degree in which you must complete both a Major and a Minor in teachable subjects suitable for one of the three teaching streams: Early Years, Middle Years or Senior Years.

In addition, Early and Middle Years applicants must present breadth requirements as outlined:

• English or French Literature: 6 credit hours• Social Studies: 6 credit hours of History or Geography*• Mathematics and Science: 9 credit hours with a minimum of 3 credit hours from the departments of Mathematics or

Statistics and a minimum of 3 credit hours from the departments of Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Geological Science or Environmental Science. The remaining 3 credit hours can be from either Mathematics or Science as defined above.*

Use the chart on the following page to help you choose a stream, teachable subjects and a first degree. Then read the Start Book and follow degree requirements for your intended first degree.

Focused Approach Choose 30 credit hours of courses with 6 credit hours in each of two teachable subjects (your intended teachable Major and Minor). Consider choosing 6 credit hours in an alternate teachable subject, should you decide not to continue in one of your first areas of choice. Be sure to follow the requirements for your intended degree program.

Balanced Approach Choose courses from several teachable subjects. Choose remaining courses from your other target faculty or as electives.

Sampling Approach Choose courses from several teachable subjects.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS FOLLOWING THE COMPLETION OF A FIRST DEGREE:Minimum Credit Hours: 90 credit hours and graduation from an undergraduate degree, including 30 or 18* credit hours in a teachable Major and 18 or 12* credit hours in a teachable Minor.*18 for Major and 12 for Minor credit hours if you choose Early or Middle Years

Minimum Course Load: University 1 requirements may be met on a full-time or part-time basis. All admission requirements must be met by the end of April in the year of application.Written English (W) Requirement: Must be completed in your first 60 credit hours. Courses acceptable for the W requirement do not necessarily meet the Early and Middle Years breadth requirement.Mathematics (M) Requirement: Must be completed in your first 60 credit hours. Courses acceptable for the M requirement do not necessarily meet the Early and Middle Years breadth requirement.Minimum GPA: 2.50 with a minimum grade of ‘C’ in each teachable Major and Minor course (and breadth, if required). A higher than minimum GPA is often required and varies each year depending on the applicant pool.Additional Requirement: Writing skills exercise and references are required. All successful applicants will be conditionally admitted pending clearance of an official Criminal Record Check and clearance from the Child Abuse Registry.

THE FACULTY OF LAW OFFERS A BACHELOR OF LAWS JURIS DOCTOR (J.D.) DEGREE THROUGH A DYNAMIC AND INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH TO THE STUDY OF LAW. The Faculty of Law is nationally recognized for excellence and leadership in areas of teaching and research, and many graduates of the degree program go on to pursue illustrious careers in law and politics.

Special Study Features: There are numerous opportunities for you to put the skills and knowledge you learn in the classroom into practical action through involvement in a range of clinical programs. While in the program, you will participate in moot courts (fictitious trials) and appeals, work in legal clinics and represent real clients, and shadow judges in their courtrooms and chambers. In addition, you will also have the opportunity to compete in national and international advocacy and negotiation competitions.

CHOOSE THE FOLLOWING COURSES FOR YOUR FIRST YEAR:Eligibility for admission into Law requires a minimum of 60 credit hours of university degree level study, however the majority of students have a degree. In most cases you will complete your first 30 credit hours in University 1 and then continue your studies in another faculty such as Arts or Science.

There are no prerequisites or preferred courses for admission to Law. However, admission is very competitive, so try to choose courses in which you are interested and will be motivated to study and perform well. We strongly recommend that you register (if possible) for courses that have a writing component. This will help you to develop writing and research skills at the post-secondary level.

In choosing your University 1 courses, consider which faculty you may want to enter in Year 2. As many students complete a first degree prior to their admission into law school, it is a good idea to keep the degree requirements of your second year faculty in mind when choosing courses.

Focused Approach Choose 30 credit hours of electives.

Balanced Approach Choose a selection of courses from two or more degree programs.

Sampling Approach Choose a selection of courses from any number of degree programs.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS FOLLOWING SECOND YEAR OF STUDY:Minimum Credit Hours: 60 credit hours.Minimum Course Load: University 1 may be completed on a full-time or part-time basis. All admission requirements must be met by the end of April in the year of admission.Written English (W) Requirement: Not required for admission, but must be completed in your first 60 credit hours. Mathematics (M) Requirement: Not required for admission, but must be completed in your first 60 credit hours. Minimum GPA: In general, a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.90 and a LSAT score of 163/180 are needed to be competitive. A higher than minimum GPA is often required and varies each year depending on the applicant pool. Additional Requirements: Law School Admission Test (LSAT).Selection Criteria: An index score based on a combination of grades (50%) and LSAT score (50%). See the Applicant Information Bulletin for further details.


MINIMUM TIME TO GRADUATION:5 years – 2 years of University study (60 credit hours), plus 3 years in Law

TIPS FOR CHOOSING COURSES:• The Law School Admission Test (LSAT) does not presuppose

any specialized knowledge, but is designed to measure your abilities to read, understand, and reason. Choose courses that assist in the development of these skills. For more information on the LSAT see LSAC.org
