Frequently Asked Questions-Spring Term

When a spot becomes available in a course, the first person on the waitlist is sent an email to their UWinnipeg webmail account notifying them that they have about 3 days to claim the reserved seat by registering in the course.

This process is continuing even now that Spring Term has begun. Each section's waitlist will run until the last day to drop that section for full refund - see Withdrawal Schedule.
Example: The last day to add CJ-2101-001 or drop it for full refund was on May 5. So its waitlist ran for the last time on May 5.

Check your University email daily. Only students registered in a course on WebAdvisor will have access to the course materials lectures on Nexus. Nexus access will be given the next business day after registration. Only students registered in a course on WebAdvisor are permitted into the classroom for an in-person class. www.uwinnipeg.ca/waitlists

NOTE: Spring Term courses are usually condensed and as such, move at a faster pace. Consider whether it is advisable to register in the course for which you have received permission. How far into the course is it? Do you have the time and ability to catch up? Did you miss any potential marks already? How many other courses are you taking?

 

Fees are due May 17, 2023, no matter the start date of the course from May-August. This date is NOT the same date as the refund-eligible date for a given course. Check the Withdrawal Schedule to find out whether you are eligible for a refund if you drop a particular course. 

Students pay through online banking bill payment (Canadian financial institutions) or flywire.com (international financial institutions).

Online banking bill payment (NOTE:  UWinnipeg does not charge any extra fees to pay this way):

1. Login to your Canadian bank or credit union's website
2. Add The University of Winnipeg - Tuition as a bill payee
3. Use your seven-digit student number as your account number

Please keep in mind that payments made through online banking take 1-3 business days for the University to receive.  See Fee Payment Information

You need to request a certified letter of enrolment through Student Central. Letters are $12 each. Order forms are available at Student Central.  See further details here: https://www.uwinnipeg.ca/student-central/enrolment-confirmation.html

 

Spring Term classes are scheduled at various times between May and August. Before the class starts, please consult the Withdrawal Schedules for each course in which you are registered. Spring Term classes fly by so it is important to note the dates NOW!

Normally, three-credit-hour courses are scheduled for three hours per week over 12 weeks and six-credit-hour courses are three hours per week for 24 weeks. Spring Term courses, however, are often scheduled in a condensed manner. Regular-status students cannot register for more than the equivalent of 15 course hours per week at any time. Students on probation status may only take the equivalent of 9 course hours per week.

Local students can choose to pick up a student card from Student Central after emailing a photo for the card to studentcard@uwinnipeg.ca. Student Central will reply back when the card is ready for pick up. Photo parameters can be found here: https://www.uwinnipeg.ca/student-id-card

For asynchronous courses, there is generally not a specific day and time in which all students must login and be online. Your professor should post details about the class at the beginning of the course.

TIP: For in-person classes, check WebAdvisor for the classroom number on the day of your class. There have been some classroom changes in recent days.
