All students new to the University of Manitoba who have completed less than 24 credit hours at another post secondary institution are required to apply to University 1. University 1 is the first year of most degree programs. It provides the freedom to choose from a variety of academic disciplines, or the opportunity of satisfying established entry requirements to a desired faculty or school.
Students who have completed 24 credit hours or more of course work elsewhere can apply directly to a faculty or school.
Mature Students are those who do not meet the normal entrance requirements; are 21 years of age on or before May 1 (to be eligible for courses starting in May or June, or by July 1 for courses starting in July or August); are Canadian citizens or permanent residents.
Individuals seeking admission as a mature student are advised to contact Enrolment Services for information and regulations concerning mature student admission.
Visiting students are those who wish to enrol in a course(s) at the University of Manitoba with the express purpose of having the credit transferred to their home university.
a) New Visiting Students
Normally, New Visiting Students apply for admission to General Studies (Extended Education). You must submit with your Application for Direct Entry Programs form a letter of permission from the Registrar of your home university, stating the specific course(s) desired. Admission must be completed prior to registration.
b) Previous Visiting Students
Visiting students previously admitted to the University of Manitoba who have not changed their home university are not required to reapply for admission.

Students who have attended another university since last attending the University of Manitoba are required to reapply for admission. See final dates for admission on this page.

Auditing students are those who wish to be admitted for the purpose of auditing a course(s) only (not for academic credit).

Written consent of the instructor of the course(s) which the student wishes to audit must be obtained before registration can be approved by the Dean/Director’s representative.
Special students are those students who typically hold a first degree and who wish to take credit courses without pursuing a degree at the current time.
All students who were previously admitted but did not register must reapply for admission.
