Indigenous community programs and resources
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.
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.
*While students are encouraged to apply for admission to University 1 by March 1, the final application deadline for University 1 is May 1 for international students and August 1 for Canadian Citizens and Permanent Residents.
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 $35 million in scholarship and bursary support to students. High school students may be eligible for some awards automatically while others require specific applications. Encourage your students to familiarize themselves with our scholarship opportunities and prepare by taking the appropriate high school courses.
General entrance scholarships
General entrance scholarships ranging from $1,000 - $3,000 may be awarded to eligible students who meet the entrance scholarship requirements and apply for Direct Entry admission prior to March 1. Counsellors and educators are encouraged to use the Academic 40S course guide (PDF) to determine which senior level courses may be considered for general entrance scholarships.
