Top 10 thing to know while living in residence
Residents have the right to sleep and study in our residence halls, and to that end the community has set these quiet hours:
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.
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.
Residents are not permitted to lend their residence keys or fobs to anyone else.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Residents will be expected to assume all or a portion of the cost of damages caused by themselves or their guests.
For all general repairs or maintenance, please submit a request in your student portal.
Please do not submit your request to the work-order desk at Physical Plant, as this will only cause a delay with your issue being fixed.
If your request requires immediate attention, please contact your RA, or the AVM front desk.

How to pay your Residence Fee's
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.
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:
ICM students must pay all fees to Student Residences directly. We accept payment by:

Important: Please include your seven digit University of Manitoba student ID number when making payments. Do not use your ICM student ID number.
Effective 2025, we will no longer accept credit card payments over the phone. This decision is part of our ongoing efforts to enhance security and ensure compliance with PCI DSS recommendations.

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.
These amounts are for standard stays in Residence. Please consider your personal circumstances if using these statements to complete your Income Tax return. These statements should not be considered to be tax advice.

Please note the following parking arrangements for students moving into Student Residences (Arthur Mauro, Mary Speechly, and Pembina Hall):
As per residence contract, you will need to move out and return your keys to the residence office, or red drop box within 24 hours after your last final exam. A move-out declaration form will become available on the residence portal towards the end of the term.
When you move out, you must remove all personal items (including garbage and packing materials) from your room, leaving it in the same condition as when you arrived. Otherwise, you will be charged for all costs associated with cleaning the room and collecting personal items left behind. All items left behind will be discarded or donated to the Residence Give and Go Program.
During move-out, if you have items that you are not taking with you, you can donate them to the Residence Give and Go Program. This program will take gently used house-hold items and give them new life to students in need in future semesters. Items may also be donated to the UM Waste Prevention Re-Shop, the UMSU Foodbank and Diabetes Canada.
Please do not leave donation items behind in your room, the hallway, laundry room or residence garbage rooms.
All items should be donated to the designated Give and Go drop zones, these zones will be well marked with proper signage and blue bins:
Accepted items include:
If you are looking to donate your bedding, pillows, clothes, shows, towels, mattress toppers etc. Please donate them directly to the Diabetes Canada bins. These bins are located:
