Graduate student forms and resources

We represent our department in general meetings and sit in internal committees which provide responsibilities such as organizing internal funds or giving out student awards of the UMGSA.

The “Supp Regs” contain the Faculty of Graduate Studies’ Academic Guide along with the Department’s supplemental regulations. All the formal rules that govern the Masters and Doctoral programs are found here.

International Student Resources
Application Requirements
All graduate programs require at 3.0 incoming GPA, and some require higher. Please check with the individual programs.
Calculating an equivalent incoming GPA for the University of Manitoba can be difficult. Calculations are taken from the last two years of academic work, and some general instructions can be found below.
In addition, international applicants may be required to submit an English Language Proficiency test score. Please see below for acceptable tests and exemptions.
Funding
The Faculty of Graduate Studies lists scholarships and fellowships available for international students.
