International Students

Visiting Students

Students from other countries can enroll in The University of Winnipeg as 'Visiting Students' and transfer the credit back to their home institution. Most Visiting Students attend for one or two terms.

Who should follow these steps and use this application form? 

Any international student who wants to enroll at The University of Winnipeg as a Visiting Student should follow the steps below. 

(International students interested in pursuing a degree from The University of Winnipeg should go to International Application for Undergraduate and Transfer Students.)

Academic Options

A list of our departments and subject areas can be found under Areas of Study in the Course Calendar. Pre-requisites are listed for each course. 

Required Documents for Submission of Application

Before an application can be processed, the following four documents must be received:

1. A completed Visiting Student Application

2. Application Fee of $100 Canadian

3. Official copy of your university transcript(s) sent directly from your home institution

Required Documents for Registration

4. Course Selection [PDF] or Letter of Permission [PDF]

Please note: Depending on what was indicated on your application, a Course Selection form should be completed by all accepted visiting students who are not required by their home university to have University of Winnipeg courses pre-approved.

The Letter of Permission should be completed by all visiting students who are required to have their home universities approve courses.

This document must be submitted by the following deadlines:

Fall and Winter Terms - May 31

Spring Term - TBA

As a Visiting Student, you will not need to register for courses - International Admissions will take care of that for you, once we receive the Official Letter of Permission/Course Selection from your home university. A copy of the University of Winnipeg's Letter of Permission/Course Selection is included in your Acceptance Package.

To see what courses are being offered in an upcoming Term, go to WebAdvisor, choose "guest" and search for course sections; then check for pre-requisites in the "Areas of Study" section of the Course Calendar.   When filling out the Letter of Permission/Course Selection, please choose courses without pre-requisites or courses with pre-requisites that you have already taken at your home university.  Make sure your course choices are approved by your home university - if this is required by your institute.
