COURSE PLANNING BASICS

Here is some basic information about courses to help you in your planning:
Courses are offered in two different terms during the Regular Session (September to April).

»» Fall Term runs from September to December.
»» Winter Term runs from January to April.

Each course has a credit hour value: usually 3 or 6.
»» 3 credit hour courses run over one term.
»» 6 credit hour courses run over both terms and are called ‘spanned courses’.
»» You can take a maximum of five courses per term, which would give you 30 credit hours completed
in one Regular Session. This is considered to be a full course load.

You may take as few as 3 credit hours per term (1 course) to as many as
15 credit hours per term (5 courses).

6 UMANITOBA.CA/FIRSTYEAR | JUNE 20, 2019

DETERMINE YOUR COURSE LOAD

Determining the number of courses you will take in your first year will depend on many factors.

SOME CONSIDERATIONS INCLUDE:

WHAT ARE THE ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS OR THE FIRST YEAR COURSES FOR YOUR TARGET DEGREE
OR PROGRAM?

»» If you are in University 1 and wish to qualify for admission to your intended degree program in the
shortest amount of time possible, you need to take at least an 80-100% course load (24-30 credit hours)
in your first year. Refer to the first tip in the Tips for Choosing Courses section for each program in this
guide to confirm the required credit hours for admission.

DO YOU NEED TO MEET COURSE LOAD REQUIREMENTS TO RECEIVE FUNDING?
»» If you have been awarded a scholarship, student loan, or other type of funding, it is important that you
know the course load amount necessary to meet your funding requirements.
»» Funding from government student loans, sponsorship agencies and university bursaries or scholarships
will likely have minimum course load requirements that stipulate the number of courses you must take
in a term or over the entire academic year (September to April).
»» Check out Financial Aid and Awards to learn more about the various funding options and their
requirements before you plan the number of courses you will take in your first year.

DO YOU NEED TO UPGRADE YOUR HIGH SCHOOL PREREQUISITES?
»» Some university level courses may require the completion of Grade 12 level Biology, Chemistry,
Mathematics, and Physics.
»» If you did not complete these requirements in high school, you may take these courses as part of your
schedule at university or at an Adult Education Centre. See Upgrading Courses for complete details on
how to upgrade your high school courses.
»» Please note that these upgrading courses are not considered for university credit and will not count in
your overall course load total.

HAVE YOU TAKEN ADVANCED PLACEMENT (AP) OR INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE (IB) COURSES?
»» If you completed AP or IB courses in high school, wrote the exams and attained the minimum score,
you may be eligible for transfer credit to reduce your first year course load. Learn about which AP or IB
courses are equivalent to U of M courses and the minimum grades required on the Admissions Office
website.
»» AP or IB credits are not automatically transferred. If you decide that you want to transfer your credit,
you must claim your credit by submitting a form to Enrolment Services. This form can be found on the
Admissions Office website.
»» Contact an academic advisor in the First Year Centre if you are not sure whether you should transfer
your AP or IB credit.

WHAT OTHER COMMITMENTS DO YOU HAVE?
»» Balancing your university courses with your co-curricular involvement, volunteering, sports, employment
and family or social commitments will also be a factor in determining how many courses you should take.

UMANITOBA.CA/FIRSTYEAR 7

CREATE YOUR TIMETABLE

After you decide which courses you want to take, you will need to create a timetable. There are a
variety of times in which you may schedule your classes, from morning to afternoon, and evening.
It is up to you to make a schedule that best suits your lifestyle and commitments.

1) DOWNLOAD OR PRINT A TIMETABLE PLANNING FORM

The timetable planning form is designed to accommodate courses during the Fall and Winter terms. Classes
are offered at various times throughout the week.

Lecture periods are usually three hours a week:

»» Mondays/Wednesdays/Fridays (MWF) 50 minutes (10 minute break in between class times)

»» Tuesdays/Thursdays (TR) 75 minutes (15 minute break in between class times)

»» Evening classes 3 hours, once a week

Some classes also have a lab component:

»» Labs for Science courses Generally 3 hours, once a week
(e.g. biology, chemistry, physics)

»» Labs fo r Mathe matics or Arts course s G(ee.gn.emraaltlyhe1mhaotuicr,so, lnacnegauawgeeesk)

3) FILL IN YOUR TIMETABLE

Plan your timetable by adding each course to the Timetable Planning Form. When building a timetable, it is
critical to prioritize your courses.

PRIORITIZE:
»» Cmoourreseqsutichkaltyare offered with the least number of sections, as these offer less flexibility and may fill up
»» tCimouertsaebsltehat require both a lecture and a lab section, as these can be challenging to fit into a full
»» Spanned courses, as these will take up the same day and time in both fall and winter terms

»» Required courses, as these are higher priority than those you are choosing as electives
