Welcome To Residence!

Residence BIG 10

Top 10 thing to know while living in residence

1. Quiet hours

Residents have the right to sleep and study in our residence halls, and to that end the community has set these quiet hours: 

  • Sunday to Thursday, 11 p.m. to 8 a.m. 
  • Friday and Saturday, 2 a.m. to 8 a.m. 

2. Smoking and fire safety

Smoking is strictly prohibited in residence halls AND within 8 meters (25 feet) of any building entrance or exit. Use of candles or incense in residences is not permitted either in common spaces or private rooms. All occupants of the building must evacuate when a fire alarm sounds and cannot return until the alarm is off.

3. Hot plates

Hot plates, including induction hot plates are not permitted anywhere in residence, including Arthur Mauro sites. Hot plates found in use or possession will be confiscated and returned to the user upon move-out. 

4. Keys

Residents are not permitted to lend their residence keys or fobs to anyone else. 

5. Drinking games

Participating in “drinking games,” any activity involving skills, chance or endurance on the part of one or more persons who play according to a set of rules that consist solely or partially on the consumption of alcohol is not permitted.

6. Bullying and harassment

Harassment and bullying is not permitted on our campus. Harassment is defined as inappropriate comments or conduct in relation to a person or group of persons that has the effect or purpose of creating a hostile or intimidating living environment. 

7. Guests

Residents are responsible for the actions of their guests and will be held accountable for any violations of community standards. Any resident who facilitates access to a stranger or otherwise “un-hosted” person will be considered that person's host and will be held accountable their behaviour.

8. Roommates

Roommates each have a right to share in the determination of the use of the room. In particular, residents should consult one another before inviting a guest or guests to visit in the room and should obtain permission before allowing a guest to remain for the night.

9. Illegal drugs are prohibited

Use or possession of illegal, prescription, and/or non-prescription drugs for recreational purposes is prohibited on University property and is a violation of the Residence Contract. Evidence of drug traces or drug paraphernalia will be assumed to be conclusive of use or possession.

Smoking, growing, or preparing/cooking cannabis is not permitted inside of residence buildings or rooms.

10. Vandalism and damage

Residents will be expected to assume all or a portion of the cost of damages caused by themselves or their guests.

Payment information

How to pay your Residence Fee's

UM students

All residence charges, which include room, meal plans, fees and miscellaneous charge items will appear on a student’s Aurora account. The payment deadline for each term will be noted on a student’s Aurora account and must be paid in accordance with Financial Services’ payment options.

Credit card payment - available online through your Aurora account
Although you can pay your university fees by credit card, we recommend you first consider other methods of payment to avoid paying additional charges or convenience fees.

  • A non-refundable convenience fee of 2.5 per cent is added to your total payable.
  • You can only make credit card payments from your Aurora account.
  • VISA and MasterCard are the only accepted credit cards.
  • Maximum payment is the amount owing on your account.

Online or mobile banking: the preferred method
Make payments 24 hours a day, seven days a week, from anywhere in the world.

How to sign up:

  • Contact your financial institution to set up an online banking account if you do not have one.
  • Set up the "University of Manitoba" as a payee. You will need to provide an account number, which is your seven-digit UM student identification number.
    • If your financial institution requires more than seven digits as an account number, enter zeros as your lead digits (e.g., if nine digits required by your financial institution, enter 001234567).

International College of Manitoba (ICM residents)

ICM students must pay all fees to Student Residences directly. We accept payment by:

  • Cheque
  • Canadian Interac cards
  • Credit card (VISA or MasterCard ONLY)

Understanding the residence fees

Residence charges include room accommodation, meal plans (except for residents in Arthur V. Mauro Residence that opts for accommodation only), tenant insurance, council fees, and residence life programming fees. 

For more information, please reference 1.4 Residence Service Interruptions in the Residence Contract. 

In November, you will receive an email with instructions on how you can opt out of the holiday break fees. Credit adjustments for the opting out are processed in January. 

Please be advised that excluding any fees from your total payments due could result in your account being placed on hold and a $50 late fee added to any account balances over $500.

Miss a payment deadline?

  • If you miss a payment deadline, you will be charged a $50 late fee.
  • Students are responsible for checking their Aurora Student account, email and mailboxes on a regular basis for residence fee balances.
  • Unpaid accounts will result in your UM account being placed on hold, which prevents you from using most campus services, including libraries, and can result in eviction.
  • Due to privacy laws, the Residence Office cannot discuss a student's account with anyone other than the student. If a student wants the Student Residences Office to release information to a specified person, they must provide written permission to the Student Residences Office.
