WELCOME TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MANITOBA

Congratulations and welcome to our community of learning,
discovery and engagement at the University of Manitoba.

You are beginning a transformational adventure that is the launching point for life-long success.
Our visionaries, trailblazers and explorers have embraced the unexpected, defied convention and
carved new paths for nearly 140 years.

We recognize that the transition to university can be challenging, especially if you are coming
directly from high school or from a smaller community, you are an international student or you are
returning to university after taking time away to raise a family. Our staff is dedicated to helping you
overcome those challenges and take advantage of the outstanding student experience we offer at
the University of Manitoba.

This guide provides you an information toolkit about policies, procedures and people that will help
you get connected and involved with life on campus.

We wish you every success in your academic career.

Dr. David Barnard Susan Gottheil
President and Vice-Chancellor Vice-Provost (Students)
