Direct versus advanced entry classification

Canadian and international applicants, including external transfers, faculty transfers and second-degree applicants

  • Current secondary students and graduates with fewer than 24 postsecondary credit hours use direct entry, subject to the chosen programme’s available route.

  • International secondary applicants must also meet English proficiency, the applicable country/curriculum credential requirement and programme requirements. These linked credential inventories remain unreviewed. Advanced-entry applicants should provide secondary transcripts for registration prerequisites even where admission uses postsecondary studies.

Mature category with restricted programme choices

Canadian citizens or permanent residents at least 21 who do not meet regular high-school/transfer entry requirements

  • Have no previous college/university attendance or fewer than 24 completed credit hours. Published mature direct-entry choices are University 1, Engineering, School of Art and Music. Other desired advanced-entry programmes require University 1 and completion of the relevant first-year courses.
  • Engineering mature applicants must still satisfy its specifically published secondary subject and grade conditions. Programme minima, auditions and other prerequisites remain held separately. The mature category is not a universal prerequisite waiver.

Returning and continuing-student admission channel

Previously admitted UM students and students currently in University 1 or another UM faculty

  • Reapply after admission without registration, after study at another institution since last registration unless on a Letter of Permission, or after exceeding the programme’s permitted absence.

Degree requirements

Credits and degree requirements
  • Total Hours 37.5
  • The Preliminary Engineering Program is common to all programs in engineering. Students must complete a minimum of eight ( excluding CHEM 1122 ) to be eligible to apply to one of the five degree granting engineering programs. A student must complete the following list of 13 courses as part of their engineering program in order to graduate with a BSc degree in engineering.
  • All students are required to complete the University written English and mathematics requirement within the first 60 credit hours of their program. The requirement is described in the chapter General Academic Regulations and Requirements of this Calendar. In the Engineering programs the mathematics requirement is satisfied by one of MATH 1510 or MATH 1710 (or an equivalent); the written English requirement is satisfied by completing a course selected from the list of approved Written English Courses for Engineering Students listed below.
  • Applicants may apply directly to the Preliminary Engineering Program from a Manitoba high school (or the equivalent) and must meet the General Entrance and Specific Admission Requirements for the Price Faculty of Engineering. The General Admission Requirement is a Manitoba (or equivalent) high school graduation. The Specific Admission Requirements is a minimum 80% average over the following four subjects, with no less than 70% in each course: Chemistry 40S, Precalculus Mathematics 40S, Physics 40S, and English 40S. In cases where the number of eligible applicants exceeds the available spaces, applicants will require higher averages than stipulated to be successful in the admissions competition.
  • A student's academic status is based on academic performance. Students who feel that there are circumstances that have affected their academic performance should write to the Associate Dean (Undergraduate Programs), Chair of the Committee on Standing and Appeals, E1-262 EITC. Information regarding this process is available from the Undergraduate Student Services Office, E1-262 EITC and may be viewed through web site .
  • Regular attendance and participation is expected of all students in all courses. Excused absences for medical or compassionate reasons must follow the UM policies. When the number of unexcused absences and/or incomplete coursework in any course exceeds 10 percent, the instructor shall report the case to the Department Head. If a student’s attendance or work continues to be unsatisfactory, the case will be referred to the Associate Dean Undergraduate Programs who may initiate debarment of the student. Students who are debarred for inadequate attendance and participation prior to the VW deadline can choose to VW the course. Students who are debarred after the VW deadline will receive a failing grade.
  • In exceptional cases, students may make a written application to the Associate Dean (Undergraduate Programs) for a Leave of Absence from their studies when significant circumstances (i.e. parental, medical or compassionate) affect their ability to continue in their program. Supporting documentation may be required. Leaves of absence must correspond with the start and end of (an) academic term(s) for a period of time normally not to exceed one (1) year. The limit on a student's time to complete their Engineering program, as set out in Requirements for the Bachelor's Degree , will be extended by the duration of the approved Leave of Absence.
  • If you miss a final examination for medical or compassionate reasons, you may be granted a deferred examination. Applications for a deferred examination after the examination has been missed must be filed within 48 hours of the date of the missed examination. A medical certificate or other appropriate documentation may be required.
  • A continuing student who achieves a Term Grade Point Average (TGPA) of 3.50 or higher in their most recent academic term will be placed on the Dean’s Honour List. The assessment is based on a minimum of 12 credit hours completed in that term. In addition, a graduating student who achieves a Degree Grade Point Average (DGPA) of 3.5 or higher in their final academic evaluation will graduate on the Dean’s Honour List and receive a notation indicating this on their final term transcript.
  • In meeting the specific requirements for any minors available to Engineering students, no more than 50% of the credit hours required for a minor may be common with those forming part of a student's regular Engineering program. Normal pre-requisites and class size restriction apply to courses taken towards minors.
