Academic advising

We are here for you throughout your undergraduate program. Our advisors can help you make the best decisions regarding your program options, and they can find the right resources to help you reach your goals.

Program requirements

Here are the recommended progressions to meet requirements for each Agricultural and Food Sciences degree program. These are updated each year to reflect any course changes and updates. Students are required to follow the program of their admission year and can refer to past versions of the Academic Calendar. You may also contact Student Services at aginfo@umanitoba.ca for a planning sheet from your admission year. 

Program planning resources

Run a program check with UM Achieve

UM Achieve is an excellent planning tool for your program. Run an audit to see if you are on track to meet your program requirements and determine which courses you still need to take.

You can also run a What-IF audit to see your progress towards a possible Minor, Concentration or a different program!

For the Human Nutritional Sciences - Dietetics Preparation and Pre-Veterinary programs, please see an advisor for complete course details.
