Registration Information & Procedures
International students must submit an up-to-date copy of their port of entry letter of introduction or study permit before they are able to register. To avoid delays in your registration, please email these to graduateadmissions@uwinnipeg.ca as soon as possible. If you have not obtained a letter of introduction or study permit by August 31, please contact your graduate program chair for the next steps.
Registration Procedures
- Log in to WebAdvisor to view available course sections and choose your courses.
Students receive a letter with their WebAdvisor username and temporary password once they are admitted to their program. If you have not received this letter or require a new copy, please contact graduateadmissions@uwinnipeg.ca for a new copy. In the meantime, you may log in to WebAdvisor as "Guest" to view the available course sections. - Schedule a meeting with your advisor/supervisor to discuss your course selections.
Graduate students are required to meet with their advisor or supervisor to discuss their course requirements and options prior to registration. If you are unable to meet your supervisor/advisor in-person, you can consult with them via email, phone, or video call. - Register online through Student Planning.
To access Student Planning, log in to WebAdvisor and select Student Planning. Visit Student Planning: Getting Started for more guidance. - Your supervisor/advisor approves your registration.
Once you submit your courses, your supervisor or advisor will be notified and asked to approve your registration. - Enjoy your courses!
We recommend that students register well in advance of the registration deadlines. This allows their advisors/supervisors sufficient time to approve their registrations, and allows students time to ensure they are registered properly and avoid late fees.

The Government of Canada requires students who are neither citizens nor permanent residents to obtain a Study Permit to study in Canada. Effective immediately, The University of Winnipeg requires an up-to-date record of your Study Permit to ensure your eligibility to study in Canada at The University of Winnipeg. If you have not obtained a letter of introduction or study permit by August 31, please contact your graduate program chair for the next steps.
All registered international students at The University of Winnipeg must send a copy of their Study Permit to graduateadmissions@uwinnipeg.ca. Current records of this information are required to ensure your eligibility to study in Canada at the University of Winnipeg. Your registrations may not be processed until this document has been submitted.
It is important to renew your Study Permit well before it expires to ensure your continued eligibility. Upon renewing your Study Permit, please ensure that a copy is sent to graduateadmissions@uwinnipeg.ca to avoid having a hold placed on your account.
