HIGH SCHOOL UPGRADING COURSES

If you are missing a prerequisite high school course or achieved an insufficient grade for prerequisite purposes, you
have the option to upgrade your high school courses through the University of Manitoba.

You may take these upgrading courses simultaneously with other university courses, as long as they do not require
the course you are upgrading as a prerequisite.

Most upgrading courses are not worth university credit (i.e. they are 0 credit hours), and will not count in your overall
course load. Be mindful of this when considering the minimum course load required for: admission to a program,
your financial aid (e.g. student loans, bursaries, scholarships), your study permits, etc.
