Become a member

St John’s College invites any student who has been accepted by a faculty or school of the University of Manitoba to become a member of the College. College members receive their degrees from UM, and enjoy complete access to all courses, services and facilities of both the University of Manitoba and St John’s College. 

Benefits of membership

St John’s College is a small college situated on the north perimeter of the University of Manitoba’s Fort Garry campus. We at St John's College focus on fostering a community among our students, offering a number of added services to enhance their education at the University of Manitoba. St John’s College is governed by its own Council and Assembly, but in all academic matters other than the Theology program, the College is subject to the regulations of the Senate of the University of Manitoba.

Benefits include:

  • Participation in the academic community of one of the oldest educational institutions in Western Canada
  • The opportunity to meet other students in a smaller community within the larger campus
  • Eligibility for College scholarships, bursaries, prizes and awards
  • Academic advising and registration assistance, on request, from the Registrar
  • Access to a computer lab, lockers and study facilities (including study carrels)

Membership fees

Once you've registered as a member, a membership fee will be added to your tuition fees. You should reassess your fees to find out how much you owe. The fee must be paid to the Cashier’s Office in University Centre by the tuition fee deadline (it cannot be paid directly to the College). In the Fall and Winter Terms, students enrolled in nine or more credit hours in a term will be charged $10 for that term. Students enrolled in eight or fewer credit hours in a term will be charged $5 for that term.

Membership sticker

After you have registered as a member, bring your student card to the General Office to get your annual membership sticker. You can use the sticker to get a 10 per cent discount at the Daily Bread Café and Soup4U, and to use empty classrooms in the College.
