• The application fee for Canadian citizens and permanent residents is $100.00 CDN.
• The application fee for international students is $120.00 CDN.

Students who apply prior to March 1 may receive a conditional offer of admission based on their self-reported grades. Conditional offers are provided for select programs between December and March depending on the date of application and are not to be confused with official admission offers, which are provided after first semester final and second semester interim grades have been assessed.

• Individual schools and school divisions will be asked to provide interim grades for all Manitoba high school students who have applied to the University of Manitoba by March 1. Final grades will also be requested in June.
• A key component of this process is the provincial ID number - please encourage students to include this number in their applications.
• As part of the application process, each Manitoba high school student gives the university permission to request grades on their behalf. A secure file is sent to school or school division contacts who create electronic grade files to submit securely to the UM servers.
• The school or school division can expect the grade request from the University of Manitoba at the end of March for students who apply by March 1. At that time, we expect all final grade 12 marks for courses completed up to that point as well as interim or mid-term marks for the second term. For schools that are not on a two-semester system, we receive some form of official mid-term assessment. We encourage grades to be sent by mid-April so decisions can be processed based on official grades.
• An additional grade request will be sent out in the middle of June. At that time, we expect all final grades and graduation details to be included.
• Students who apply in mid-or-late-June, or after their high school has closed for the summer, are responsible for personally submitting their official, final transcript – Admissions does not request transcripts from high schools for late applicants.

• Students who apply by March 1 and have submitted all required documents by the deadlines provided in their Application Portal should expect to be notified of their admission decision sometime in May or June. Most offers of admission must be accepted by June 1.
• Entrance scholarship offers are typically provided to eligible students in May or June, shortly after admission offers have been made. Students should follow the instructions in their entrance scholarship offer for details on how to accept their scholarship.

• A number of supports are available to newly admitted students to help them prepare for course registration, including tutorial videos, the First Year Planning Guide and orientation events. See our suite of Next Steps materials for information on making the transition from high school to university.
