  1. How do we get our tuition tax receipt (T2202A's)?
Answer:

Tuition tax receipts for college courses are issued by the colleges through the colleges’ online systems. Information on accessing the online systems is provided directly to students at the time of registration.

Instructions for accessing T2202As for university courses through the CMB online system follow. The receipts are available in late February. Students who have taken courses other than CMB courses will receive a separate T2202A from the institution offering the courses, generally through online access.

T2202A forms are only available electronically. Paper copies will not be sent to students.

This is the official receipt for tuition fees paid in full, the official receipt for the number of months of full time or part time study and for the designation of amounts that may be eligible to transfer to a qualifying individual.

For information on claiming qualifying tuition and education amounts or transferring amounts to a spouse, parent or grandparent please contact Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) at 1-800-959-8281.

  • your CMB username

  • your CMB password, and

  • Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer.

  1. How can I register when the coordinator at my centre is not available?
Answer:

If you are currently a CMB student, you can log onto our online registration system and register for your courses directly. If you have questions about course offerings, or would like to become a CMB student, refer to our website, www.campusmanitoba.com or contact the CMB centre nearest you or call our toll-free number: 1-866-445-0063.



  1. Does Campus Manitoba charge an application fee?
Answer:

There are no application fees for Campus Manitoba, and the 'home university or college' application fees are waived when you apply as a Campus Manitoba student. The current course fees are viewable at:

http://www.campusmanitoba.com/main_courses_fees.asp



  1. What documents and other information do I need to complete an application with Campus Manitoba?
Answer:

You will need the following information when filling an application form:

  1. An account name and password for the online application system (Contact your Campus Manitoba Coordinator to obtain this)

  2. Your Social Insurance Number

  3. 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).

  4. The university or college you have chosen as your 'home institution'.

  5. You may also need to order supporting documentation such as High School transcripts, change of name documentation to support your application.


  1. Can I change which University I apply to?
Answer:

When you make application to Campus Manitoba, you choose one of Manitoba's Universities or Colleges as your 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 Campus Manitoba 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.



  1. Who do I contact if I have a complaint or concern about a Campus Manitoba service or course?
Answer:

You would contact your Campus Manitoba centre coordinator or the Director of Campus Manitoba at our toll free number 1-866-445-0063.



  1. 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.



  1. 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 receive full credit for those courses, if you enrolled in a university business administration degree program.



  1. Does Campus Manitoba offer students any help with writing skills?
Answer:

Yes, Campus Manitoba has contracted with Brandon University to offer students several online tutorials.



Writing Skills Topics in the Academic Skills Centre:

Writing Skills Moodle Classroom:

  • Essay Structure
  • Critical Reviews
  • Plagiarism and Paraphrasing
  • Evaluating Electronic Resources
  • Punctuating Between Sentences and Around Quotation Marks
  • APA Style (American Psychological Association) and APA Reports
  • MLA Style (Modern Language Association)
  • CMS Style (Chicago Manual of Style)
  • ASA Style (American Sociological Association

All students can access these resources through Moodle. In Moodle, go to Communication Websites, then to the Academic Skills Centre: Writing Skills Classroom.



  1. Does Campus Manitoba have learning resources and study skills materials and resources for students?
Answer:

Yes, CMB students have access to an amazing range of online resources to help them succeed as a post secondary student.

The process for logging on to the UM Virtual Learning Commons is as follows:

  1. Open your web browser to this address: https://www.umanitoba.ca/virtuallearningcommons/login

  2. The username and password will be the same ones used for the Campus Manitoba admission and registration system.


If you do not remember your Campus Manitoba username and password simply contact your Campus Manitoba Centre coordinator, who will provide you with the login information or call our toll-free number 1-866-445-0063.



  1. 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 "scheduled" lectures and in the case of science courses for "labs".



  1. 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.



  1. How do I get my textbooks for Campus Manitoba courses?
Answer:

Students may order books with the assistance of the coordinator. Order forms for university course texts are sent to the centres by Campus Books, Brandon University. Book orders can be placed in the following ways, depending on method of payment:


Campus Manitoba does not accept cash payments for texts.


Orders paid by cheque or money order are sent by buspack by the centre coordinator to CMB Brandon along with the orders.


For sponsored students, the appropriate sponsorship information is completed on the book order form and the centre coordinator can either send the orders by buspack to CMB Brandon or fax them directly to Campus Books. The sponsor will be billed.


Orders paid by credit card must be ordered online on the Campus Books secure site at:

   www.brandonu.bkstr.com

Due to new security regulations, credit card information must no longer be sent by fax.


Books will be individually shrink-wrapped with the student receipt enclosed and sent to the centres. When notified by the coordinator, students can pick up books at the centres. In order to guarantee receipt of books by the first day of classes, orders and payments must be received by the due date indicated on the order form. Shipping charges will not be applied to book orders received by the order deadline. Late orders must be received complete with payment and will be sent to the centres as the orders are processed by Campus Books.


Texts that are returned must be in perfect condition (no markings, bent corners, etc.) and be accompanied with a copy of the receipt. Students are responsible for returning their own texts to:



Campus Books
Brandon University
270-18th St.
Brandon, MB
R7A 6A9



The refund deadline is on the order form.

  1. 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.



  1. 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
   Red River College Adult Learning Centre
   (204) 632-3791



  1. What is the "Courses in the High School" program? (University of Manitoba)
Answer:

Students may earn dual credit through the Courses in High School program. The Courses in High School program allows grade 12 students to take university courses while still in high school and receive university credit. Students have an opportunity to find out what a university course is like and get a head start on university studies. Courses count for credit in University 1. Course selection varies and courses offered typically do not require high school prerequisites.



Students applying to the Courses in High School program are required to meet the following admission criteria:

  • Completed a minimum of 20 high school credits, including English 30S, Mathematics 30S and one of Geography 30S or History 30S with an overall average of 80%; or

  • Completed a minimum of 22 high school credits including two 40-level courses with an overall average of 70%; and

  • Receive a written recommendation of academic ability from their high school principal; and

  • Registered in high school on a full or part-time basis.

Students will be admitted to the University of Manitoba as Special Students. Course registration is restricted to 12 credit hours for the Program. Another application for admission to University 1 (or direct entry faculty) must be submitted after completion of high school. Students will normally be accepted to the Courses in High School Program for the Fall Term, but applications to start in the Winter Term (January) will also be considered.

  1. Some of the universities and colleges belonging to Campus Manitoba (CMB) have different Spring Breaks. Which dates apply to the CMB students?
Answer:

The dates for Spring break are course specific and would follow the university/college delivering your course. For example, Bonnie is enrolled in two winter courses in 2009. One course, XZEA 21:3121, is offered by the University of Manitoba and the other course, YBUN 21: 2142, is offered by the University College of the North.

Spring break for UM students is in a different month than the spring break for UCN students. Since Bonnie is enrolled in two different courses offered by two different universities, her two winter term courses will have two different spring breaks.



Please check your course materials, the web site of the university delivering the course, or ask your CMB centre staff.

    • Macintosh: Firefox 1.x and later, Safari 3

    • Linux: Firefox 1.x



  1. As a Campus Manitoba student, do I get a Photo Student ID card?
Answer:

Students are eligible for university/college student ID cards from their home institution. The following procedures indicate how a student would receive this card.

Assiniboine Community College: Students who have ACC as their home institution are entitled to a Student ID free of charge. When students register they are sent an email detailing that they are registered, and that if they wish to have an ID, they must contact ACC’s Registrations and Admissions department with that request. Once ACC is contacted with that request, the students will be mailed an ID without a photo. If they require a photo student ID, they will need to come to the Victoria Avenue East Campus during the hours of 8:00-4:30 with 1 piece of Government Issued Photo ID.

Brandon University: Brandon University ID cards are produced in the Housing Office, 270-18th Street, Brandon, MB R7A 6A9, 204-727-7394, or residence@brandonu.ca. The cost is $34.65 (subject to change). A CMB student should take along proof of registration in order to get a card. In the absence of proof, the housing office will contact Finance and Registration to confirm registration.

Red River College: Students can obtain photo ID from Red River College if they are active students. This does require that they have their picture taken at one of RRC’s Student Service Centres in Winnipeg or one of RRC’s four Regional Campuses (Portage, Winkler, Steinbach or Gimli). If taken at one of the Regional Campuses, the digital picture is emailed to Winnipeg and the card is mailed back to the Regional Campus approximately one week later. If the picture is taken at one of the Winnipeg campuses, students can wait for their ID. There is a fee of $5.00 for the card.

University College of the North: Any students not on one of the two main campuses get their pictures taken by the UCN Centre Coordinator at their site. The coordinator takes the photo and emails it to StudentCard@ucn.ca. The enrolment services clerks then take the photo from the email and create a card using the standard system. The clerks then mail the cards to the Centre Coordinator.

University of Manitoba: Students can get a UM ID card by submitting the form found at umanitoba.ca/distance. Click on Forms on the left side and scroll down to ID Card Request. There is no charge for this card.

University of Winnipeg:

   Criterion:
      You MUST be an off-campus distance student at the University of Winnipeg.

Answer:
  1. BU scholarships do apply to the BU courses done through Campus Manitoba. BU applies the scholarship to BU students taking 24 credit hours (for most scholarships) and then prorates the amount of the scholarship to the number of credit hours from BU CMB courses.

    For example, if a student takes 24 credit hours over the course of the year with 12 credit hours from BU CMB courses and 12 from other institutions, the student would receive 50% of the full amount of the scholarship. For further information, contact:

       Registrar

    The courses completed through Campus Manitoba for University of Winnipeg "home" university students show up in the University of Winnipeg system as University of Winnipeg courses. Students are, thereby, evaluated for University of Winnipeg continuing, undergraduate scholarships in the same manner as are all other students. For further information, contact:
