University 1—your plan, your way

University 1 offers the unique opportunity to plan for one or more target degree programs during your first year of university studies. This allows you to design your schedule to meet the admission and/or first year course requirements of your target program(s), meaning that you can focus on a specific path, or explore different areas. All of the courses you take in University 1 can become part of your degree program.

The First Year Centre—first year for all

As a first year student, there are many decisions and opportunities ahead of you, and getting started may require some guidance – whether you are starting in U1 or a faculty, the First Year Centre academic advisors are here to support you.

Advisors in the First Year Centre have created the First Year Planning Guide, your go-to resource as you get started with planning for your first year at the University of Manitoba. Use this guide to find out which courses to take in first year, how to plan your schedule, create your timetable, and register for courses.
