Get Ready for Winter Term 2025 at the UM
Welcome to Winter Term 2025 at the UM. 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.
Key Dates to Remember
Stay organized by familiarizing yourself with important dates for the Winter Term. Be sure to check the Important Dates and Deadlines for a complete list.
The registration revision period, often called the “add and drop” period, runs until January 20, 2025. This is your chance to finalize your course schedule without academic or financial penalties.
- Drop deadline: January 17, 2025
- Add deadline: January 20, 2025
If you are on a waitlist, you should monitor course openings closely and drop any courses they don’t plan to take, freeing up spots for others. After January 20, course withdrawals will appear on transcripts, and full fees will apply.
Tuition Deadline Approaching
To avoid late fees and holds on your account, ensure that your tuition is paid by the deadline of February 5, 2025, 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.
Photo identification (ID) cards
If you need a Student ID card, stop by UMSU University Centre, room 102B, during these dates and times:
- January 2nd 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM
- January 3rd 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM
- January 6th – 10th 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Students can check in online for faster service. ID cards are also required to obtain Winnipeg Transit U-Passes.
UM Achieve
UM Achieve is your essential degree planning tool, designed to help you track your academic progress, map out your degree program requirements, estimate your time to degree completion, and explore other degree programs. Access UM Achieve through UM Achieve for Students, and if you have any questions, contact your Academic Advisor.
Verify your Social Insurance Number
The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) mandates that the university collect Social Insurance Numbers (SINs) to issue T2202 tax forms. You can verify your SIN on your Aurora homepage under “Verify my SIN card.” Those needing corrections can contact Registrar.Office@umanitoba.ca for assistance
