We encourage students to apply at least 3 to 4 months before their desired Start Term. You may start in Fall (September), Winter (January) or Spring (May).

International applicants: We recommend applying as early as possible to allow enough processing time for admission and visa or study permit applications.  Deadlines are:

• Fall (September)     June 1
• Winter (January)     September 15
• Spring (May)          February 1

ALL APPLICANTS:  Late applications may be accepted, but we cannot guarantee that your file will be processed by the start of classes for the Term you want. Don't worry if you miss a deadline though, because if you don't start classes in Fall (September), you can start in Winter (January). Official Letters of Acceptance and Offers of Admission are issued for 2 start terms.

Transcripts:  We accept only official transcripts issued by the high school, university or college you attended.  You need to request your transcript(s) from the institution(s) and have the transcripts emailed directly from the institution to our Admissions Office from an official institution email:  intladmissions@uwinnipeg.ca.

Alternatively, if your school is unable to email your transcript, it could be mailed to the Admissions Office (see address below).

- Scans may be accepted for secondary school transcripts that can be verified online.  In these instances, they can be uploaded in the Application Portal.  For inquiries regarding this, email intladmissions@uwinnipeg.ca
