As a school counsellor, teacher, or educator, you play a vital role in preparing high school students for their future. The University of Manitoba is dedicated to providing you with the information you need to help your students transition from high school to university.
School counsellors, educators and career professionals are invited to join us in September for an annual professional development day focused on UM programs, services and important updates for the coming year. While our live events have concluded, you can watch any of our recorded sessions on-demand in our counsellor classroom.
Available to watch anytime, these short and informative sessions focus on important topics for the year ahead.
Help your students to discover all that the University of Manitoba has to offer. Encourage your students to attend our ongoing series of virtual presentations, organized by topic. We also host virtual campus tours and events for students and school groups throughout the year.
Encourage your students to attend a series of live presentations focused on our programs, how to apply for admission, the UM student experience and more. Refer to the schedule of upcoming presentations or to view recordings of past presentations.
Due to concerns about the spread of COVID-19, in-person campus visits or group tours of the University of Manitoba are unavailable until further notice. Refer to our Campus tours and events information for details about our tour offerings and upcoming events.
We offer a number of helpful tools and resources to ensure students are well-prepared to enter the university and succeed in our community.
The Indigenous Student Recruitment team is available to advise prospective Indigenous students whether they are applying directly from high school, coming from an adult learning centre or mature learners.
International students finishing their high school education in Canada may be required to demonstrate English language proficiency depending on their home country and the amount of time they have been studying in Canada.
Students and counsellors can use our career planning resources to explore occupations, interests and the different job outcomes and professional opportunities available to students in our programs.
Students with accessibility needs are encouraged to connect with Student Accessibility Services (SAS) to arrange a consultation. SAS can provide assistance for students with a wide range of accessibility needs, from note taking services to interpreters and counselling. Students are encouraged to contact SAS to discuss their accessibility needs well before the start of classes (at least one month prior is strongly recommended).
Applications for fall admission are available every year in October. Students will complete their application for admission online and should review the admission requirements and high school pre-requisites for their intended program prior to starting an application.
Please note that Direct Entry admission requirements have changed for Fall 2022 applicants. Review our Fall 2022 Direct Entry Admission Requirement Update (PDF).
High school students may apply via the direct entry route into a faculty/college or program. This means beginning their studies in University 1 (U1) or a program that offers a direct entry option. Encourage your students to review the Direct Entry admission requirements for their intended program prior to beginning their application to determine what high school courses are necessary for admission.
Counsellors and students can use the First Year Planning Guide to identify required first year university courses for any UM degree program – select the program name from the guide index and you will be taken to a page that lists course and elective requirements as well as information about high school course pre-requisites and minimum grades.
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.
The University of Manitoba provides more than $21 million in scholarship and bursary support to students.
