Get started with UM Intranet

UM Intranet serves as your portal to conveniently and quickly access faculty and staff resources and materials needed for your career, life and work at UM. 

Accessible only to those with a @umanitoba.ca email address (faculty, staff, nil appointments and affiliated partner employees), UM Intranet is hosted on SharePoint Online (SPO), a Microsoft 365 application commonly used for intranet sites.

Migrating to UM Intranet: Project information

The UM Intranet project was initiated under the Next Generation Website Experience (NGWE) project. Guided by an intranet working group and in close consultation with staff across UM, the goal of the project is to exceed expectations and deliver an exceptional user experience for internal-facing content.    

Support throughout the three phases includes project communications, user training and the UM Intranet support site.   

Phase 1: Fall 2020 – Spring 2021  

Content from intranet.umanitoba.ca and umanitoba.ca including Registrar’s Office, Human Resources, Faculty of Arts, Faculty of Social Work and Rady Faculty of Health Sciences migrated in the first launch.  Additional intranet sites to be launched in Phase 2 and 3.   

Phase 2: Spring 2021 – Spring 2022  

Phase 2 will focus on remaining migrations to UM Intranet. Content governance and guidelines will be further developed, and a full roadmap for other intranet sites will be released. 

Phase 3 

Phase 3 will finalize intranet migrations and also explore integrating with other M365 power applications and collaboration tools. 

 

Our faculty/unit would like to have an intranet site, who do I contact? 

Contact your Marketing and Communications Office (MCO), Communications Officer to find out when your faculty/unit is scheduled in the release roadmap for Phase 2 of the project.
