Essential information for the start of your Fall Term: what students need to know
Welcome to Fall Term 2024 at the University of Manitoba. We want to ensure that all registered students have the necessary information to kick off the academic year smoothly. This information will help you navigate the beginning of the term.
Important dates and deadlines
Stay organized by familiarizing yourself with key dates for the Fall Term. Be sure to check the Important Dates and Deadlines page for a complete list.
Course adds and drops: The revision period
The registration revision period, commonly known as the ‘add and drop’ period, offers you the opportunity to fine-tune your course schedule without incurring academic or financial penalties.
The deadline to drop a course is September 17, 2024, and the deadline to add a course is September 18, 2024. During this time, you can add a class if a spot opens or if you change your mind about a course. If a space becomes available in a course you were waitlisted for, you can register for it. You may also update your residency status in Aurora to receive a fee adjustment if applicable.
After the revision period ends, course withdrawals will be noted on your transcript, and you will be responsible to pay for all fees for that course. For more details, visit our resources on dropping a course, changing a course, and cancelling your registration.
Fee information
To avoid late fees and holds on your account, ensure that your tuition is paid by the deadline of October 2, 2024, for the Fall Term. You can view your fee payment information by logging into Aurora and selecting “View Account Summary by Term Card.” For additional information, refer to Fee Payment.
Registrar’s Office services
The Registrar’s Office is your go-to resource for registration and academic records. Common start-of-term requests include enrolment verifications, personal information updates (such as residence status changes), and technical assistance with Aurora.
