| Parents
At
the University of Manitoba, we understand that making the choice
to go to university is a big decision both for students and their
parents. We hope that the following information and links provide
parents with the guidance and support they need to help their child
make their post secondary decisions.
Learning
More About Our University
The
Parents
Program is a University of Manitoba service designed
to deliver support to parents of children who are entering our
university for the first time. A parents orientation is offered
each May to give parents the opportunity to experience campus,
ask questions, and to meet other parents of students who will
be coming to our school for the first time. The Parents program
also offers you a referral service, newsletter and the Parents
program handbook-a great resource guide.

Our University section for more information on how
both you and your children can learn more about us.
Paying
for University
One of the major questions that parents usually ask is "What
is this going to cost me?" Follow the links below for information
on our average tuition fees and costs as well as how we might
be able to help students through scholarships, awards, and bursaries.
Choosing
the "Right" Courses
Many
students get caught up with trying to choose the "perfect"
program, the "right" courses, and the "hot"
job. Making the right course choices is really about finding out
what program best suits each individual and then determining which
courses are required to apply. Not every programs requires grade
12 physics or university entrance math courses. Our Student Counselling
& Career Centre provides personal and career counselling to
students and a Career Resource Centre to help students explore
their career options.

Accessing
Your Child's Admission/Registration Information
Once
a student submits an application, their information remains confidential.
The University of Manitoba is precluded by the Freedom of Information
and Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA) from releasing information
on any applicants to anyone other than
the applicant themselves or members of educational institutions
such as high school counsellors or principals.
The status of an application or any other applicant information
is not public information. Unfortunately, the University of Manitoba
cannot release any applicant information to parents, family members,
or friends without prior written consent of the applicant.
In order to release information to a second party, a student must
present the Admissions Office with a consent form. A separate
consent form must be handed in to the Registrar's Office to access
registration and other current student information.

Consent Form or contact
