Because The University of Winnipeg recognizes that coming to university represents so many changes in your life, there are integrated services in place to make your transition easier. Everything from study skills, academic advising, library tours and student counselling are available for the asking. If you are like most first-year students, you may find the range of choice available in university both exciting and a little overwhelming. An Academic Advisor can help you choose courses that will further your present interests, and help you work toward your long-term goals. An Advisor can help demystify the University's rules and regulations, and set you on the path to academic success.
Some students have problems with stress, depression, career-planning or study habits.
Staff in the University's Student Counselling Office can help you deal with these issues and increase your chances of a positive first-year experience. Mature Students Students returning to school who are 21 or older and do not meet the regular admission requirements are Mature Status students. The University runs preparatory group sessions prior to registration to familiarize Mature students with the campus and academic programs. Access The Access Recruitment Officer encourages the enrollment and success of non-traditional students at the University. The officer provides orientation, advice on admission procedures, general counselling on academic programs, and referrals to internal departments and external social agencies.
