You are joining a vibrant community of more than 21,000 students and 5,000 academic and support staff members that emphasizes excellence in teaching, learning, and research. The U of M is a community of people who study, teach, conduct research, and create music and art, and whose ideas and accomplishments have an impact on our society and culture both here in Manitoba and in the wider world. The University of Manitoba is the province's largest university and it was the first to be established in Western Canada. The majority of new U of M students will enter University 1, an innovative program that was specially designed to provide choice and flexibility. University 1 gives you the opportunity to begin your university studies with a year of personal and academic exploration.
Advisors are always available to provide academic advice and assistance.
During the University 1 Orientation that begins your first academic year, you will be introduced to the wide range of campus support services that can help you with all aspects of student life. If you are joining the University of Manitoba after completing some college or university courses at another institution, you are equally welcome as you continue your studies. The Undergraduate Calendar , along with its companion publication, the Registration Guide , provide the basic information you require to apply, register, and complete your programs. In addition, there are advisors in the general offices of all academic units who are ready to answer your questions and to help you understand policies and regulations that affect you. Again, welcome to the University of Manitoba.
