Nomination Deadlines

HOUSING

Due to the high demand for on-campus housing, the exchange program would suggest that students apply to either Speechly/Tache Hall or the Arthur Mauro Residence at least 4 months in advance of each term. If students apply using these time lines, there is a greater possibility that they will be accepted to the residence of their choice. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee on-campus housing.

OTHER OPTIONS FOR ON-CAMPUS HOUSING

There are also 3 other residences on campus that students can apply to however they are not located right beside the Asper School (similar to Mary Speechly/Tache Hall and the Arthur Mauro Residence). These residences are:

1. St. Andrew's College (separate application)
2. St. John's College (separate application)
3. University College (same application as MS/TH/AMR)

Students may be allowed to move in early due to an orientation or other academic commitment but must receive written permission from the Residence Office. To request an early move-in, send an email to residence@umanitoba before August 1st, 2008 indicating the academic reason you need to move in early and the time and date you would like to move in. If your request is approved, you will need to pay for the extra nights when you arrive.

JANUARY ARRIVALS-SPEECHLY/TACHE HALL/ARTHUR MAURO

Due to the holiday closures at The University of Manitoba, all students who are arriving for a January start date cannot arrive more than a few days before classes starting due to fewer staff working during the holiday season. The move in date is normally scheduled for the Saturday prior to classes starting.

Spring Move-in Date (Term Two): Jan. 4th. 2010 (earliest date)

HOUSING DEPOSITS-SPEECHLY/TACHE HALL/ARTHUR MAURO

Students are required to pay $1000 prior to their arrival. Students will be notified by both mail and email to pay for these fees.

The Exchange Coordinator will register student in their courses 3-4 weeks prior to the start of each term.
