- Your Social Insurance Number
- Your Brandon University, Collège universitaire de Saint-Boniface, University College of the North, University of Manitoba, University of Winnipeg, Assiniboine Community College or Red River College student number (if you have ever been student at one of these institutions).
- The university or college you have chosen as your 'home institution'.
- You may also need to order supporting documentation; such as High School transcripts, change of name documentation to support your application.
Can I change which University I apply to?
Question:
I've applied to Campus MB already and I'm not sure if I want to go yet. I was wondering if I could switch to the U of M. If I can, I was wondering what would happen with my application (if I'd have to apply again or not) because of scholarship money.
Answer:
When you make application to Campus Manitoba, you choose one of Manitoba's Universities or Colleges as you home institution. Campus Manitoba, however, is not a home institution. One of the partner institutions admits you. You may, at any time, choose to register for on campus courses at that institution, since you are one of their students. You may change institutions. If you wish to do so, speak with your Campus Manitoba coordinator. He or she will help you with the transition. A new application will need to be submitted to the new institution, but you will not need to fill out a new application, because we administer that process from the Campus Manitoba database. As far as scholarships are concerned; any scholarships from the institutions are applicable through Campus Manitoba. There may be a limitation in regard to your courses needing to be from the institution offering the scholarship.
Who do I contact if I have a complaint or concern about a Campus Manitoba service or course?

What is a "home institution"?
Question:
What is a "home institution"?
Answer:
Despite the virtually seamless transfer of credits, Campus Manitoba students must choose a "home institution". That institution will evaluate and approve your admission application, hold all your earned credits, and will be the institution from which you expect to graduate. Your transcripts will be issued by your "home institution". At the end of your studies, students graduate from their home university or home college ("home institution"), not from Campus Manitoba.
Are course credits fully transferrable between "home institutions"?
Question:
Are course credits fully transferrable between "home institutions"?
Answer:
All CMB university courses have "course credit equivalency". For complete information click on Course Credit Equivalency.
If you want to transfer credit from university to college or from college to university, you will need to contact your home institution and talk to a student advisor. In almost all cases credit transfers are possible. For example: If you completed a two year Business Administration diploma at Assiniboine Community College (ACC) or Red River College (RRC), you would recieve full credit for those courses, if you enrolled in a university business administration degree program.
What courses are available at each CMB centre?
Question:
What courses are available at each CMB centre?
Answer:
Since all CMB courses are delivered by distance education, every course is available at each centre. Over 50% of CMB courses are now online, so students, if they have a computer and internet access in their home, can take these courses from home without going to a centre. The remaining courses are delivered to the CMB centres using interactive technologies, so students travel to their nearest CMB centre for "live" lectures and in the case of science courses for "labs".
What library services does CMB provide?
Question:
What library services does CMB provide?
Answer:
Off-Campus Library Services (OCLS) is a service established by CMB in partnership with Brandon University (BU) to provide students enrolled in Campus Manitoba courses with materials needed to conduct research. Often students outside of urban centres do not have access to essential books, journal articles or government documents and publications. OCLS exists to provide all CMB with timely access to the information necessary to do university and college level research and writing.

What is a "dual credit" course?
Question:
What is a "dual credit" course?
Answer:
Academic credits acquired from and applied towards studies at one institution that are also applicable towards the fulfillment of academic requirements at another institution are ‘dual credits.’ The Province of Manitoba now permits high school students to seek post-secondary and senior years dual credits by allowing successfully completed university-level courses to be counted towards senior four graduation requirements. Individual students, high schools, and school divisions are known to be interested in the potential of dual credit studies.
What does dual credit admission for high school or adult collegiate students mean and what are the criteria?
Question:
What does dual credit admission for high school or adult collegiate students mean and what are the criteria?
Answer:
Students wishing to obtain university credits through Campus Manitoba while completing S4 may apply for dual credit admission. Courses are chosen from the first level offerings.
Brandon University applicants must meet the following criteria as set out in the BU General Calendar:
- They are in good standing in that they have completed or are enrolled in or have pre-registered for all compulsory courses required to meet high school graduation requirements;
- They have a cumulative average of 80% across all S3 and S4 courses completed at the time of application;
- They have been highly recommended (in writing) by their secondary school principal or equivalent or designate to pursue dual credit studies.
BU dual credit students may attempt a maximum of 9 credit hours before graduating with a high school diploma. No credit for the attempts is granted until the student meets admission requirements under the Regular, Mature or Transfer categories. Students who have registered for at least one course with Brandon University will be allowed to register as a returning student for a maximum of 30 credit hours in the Regular Session following their high school graduation. Registration as a dual credit student must have the approval of the Dean of the appropriate faculty or school. BU’s dual credit offerings will exclude any 090 level courses.
BU will waive tuition fees for a maximum of 3 credit hours of BU course work completed, as long as Brandon University is designated as the student’s home institution. Dual credit students are responsible for payment of all other assessed fees.
University of Manitoba dual credit applicants must have a letter of support from their secondary school principal or designate to pursue dual credit studies, and must submit a transcript for high school work completed at the time of application. The student may be admitted to General Studies under the Special category for one session only, and course registration is restricted to 6 credit hours for the session, or 3 credit hours per term.
A second application for admission to University 1 (or direct entry faculty) must be submitted after completion of high school.
University of Winnipeg accelerated status admission is restricted to a few Winnipeg and area schools for admission to a partial first year Arts or Science while completing high school subjects necessary for Regular status admission. Further details can be found at: http://www.uwinnipeg.ca/index/future-admis-status
University College of the North
At the University College of the North (UCN), Dual Credit courses are defined as UCN foundational courses that give students the ability to earn both Senior Years (high school) and post-secondary level course credit. UCN supports the guidelines developed under the Dual Credit Initiative by Manitoba Advanced Education and Training, and Manitoba Education & Youth.
UCN believes that Dual Credit courses are designed for high-achieving learners who have the demonstrated motivation and ability to take post-secondary level courses prior to achieving the requirements of their high school diploma. Dual Credit courses are meant to enrich and extend school curriculum, to avoid unnecessary duplication in coursework, and to challenge students who require more rigorous coursework than the current Senior Years curriculum provides. UCN requires that Dual Credit courses be taught at a post-secondary level by instructors who have the appropriate and approved academic credentials. Although UCN Dual Credit courses may be available in a variety of locations, both within and outside of UCN, their academic rigor will be comparable, regardless of location.
To be eligible to enroll in a Dual Credit Course, students must meet all of the following criteria:
- Maintain a 70% grade level (a ‘B’ average) in Senior Years (high school) courses taken to date.
- Meet any specific UCN admission requirements to courses, including prerequisites and corequisites.
- Be recommended by his or her Senior Years principal or school designate.
Assiniboine Community College (ACC) offers students the opportunity to take college courses that count for both college credit and high school completion.
For more information and a list of courses available, please contact us at 204 725 8735.
Articulation Agreements also exist between high schools and ACC. Agreements allow high school students to transfer specific high school courses into ACC programs at no charge. Agreements also exist between ACC and many universities, which allow ACC graduates to block transfer their ACC credentials.
Red River College
A number of Red River College courses have been registered with Adult Learning and Literacy (ALL) as dual credits. Adult students who have not yet achieved a high school diploma may take up to 6 of these post-secondary level courses and apply the credits to the attainment of the Mature Student High School Diploma (MSHSD). For further information on RRC dual credit courses, please contact Pat Zwolak-Ross, Program Manager of Red River College Adult Learning Centre, 632-3791.
