UM overview by the numbers • • Established 1877; first university in western Canada Fall term 2011 enrolment: 27, 992 students 24, 236 undergraduate and 3, 211 graduate 2, 638 international (9. 4 percent of total) Over 100 academic programs Over 200 summer research jobs for undergrads 183 exchange programs in 33 countries 95 Rhodes Scholars
How UM evaluates transfer credit 1/5 • Transfer credit evaluation for undergraduate programs is part of the admission process • Assessment before a formal admission application can often be accommodated • Students are asked to provide detailed course material issued by their prior institution for any course lacking a current evaluation
How UM evaluates transfer credit 2/5 • Credit hours are assigned based on official transcript information, or review of academic year and associated course contact hours • Course material is forwarded to the applicable academic teaching unit for consideration on a course-by-course basis • Course assessments are loaded in the evaluations area to the student record and maintained in our SIS database
How UM evaluates transfer credit 3/5 Course evaluations may be assigned one of the following: • Assigned credit: credit granted for a specific course—e. g. , PSYC 1200 Introduction to Psychology (6) • Assigned credit with a reduced number of credit hours: e. g. , PSYC 1200 Introduction to Psychology (3) • General (unallocated) credit: BIOL 1 XXX TRANSFER 1000 LVL (3)— 3 credit hours of 1000 -level Biology credit • No credit: STAT 9999 NO CREDIT (0)—course has been deemed “no credit” by applicable teaching unit
How UM evaluates transfer credit 4/5 • Course assessments are valid for five years before reevaluation is required • Transfer credit policies vary among programs (e. g. , some faculties may only consider courses completed within the last ten—or fewer—years) • A similar assessment process is maintained by the Registrar's Office for outgoing ‘letter of permission’ and ‘exchange’ students • All active assessments awarded credit may be viewed at www. umanitoba. ca/admissions/tc
How UM evaluates transfer credit 5/5 • Earned grades (Canadian and international) are included on the student record and used in academic standing regulations for most faculties • Established grade tables are consulted, as needed
UM transfer credit by the numbers; from fall term 2006 to the present • 36, 140 course evaluations completed; more than 6, 000 each year • 28, 412 of these are currently active • 19, 111 have been awarded undergraduate degree level credit; more than 3, 000 each year • TCEs have been completed for over 90 countries outside Canada

Inter-Universities Services (IUS) 1/2 • Mandate: “to deliver university credit courses to residents living north of the 53 rd parallel” • Consortium of four MB universities—BU, UM, UW, UCN • UCN handles administration; community volunteers provide support • IUS ensures the transferability of courses that are offered
Inter-Universities Services (IUS) 2/2 • Students pick a home university from among consortium members • Students select from courses taught in their home community or by distance • Residency requirements are waived (or considered met) by home university
Campus Manitoba 1/4 • “Designed to facilitate access to post-secondary education within the province of Manitoba. Campus Manitoba helps remove the potential barriers of time, geographical location, and to some extent, the cost. ” • “CMB reduces barriers to post-secondary education by coordinating the registration of students and the delivery of certificate, diploma and degree courses/programs offered by the participating universities and colleges. ” • Campus Manitoba (CMB) is a consortium of Manitoba's publicly funded universities and colleges. • Funded by the MB Council on Post-Secondary Education (COPSE)
Campus Manitoba 2/4 • CMB centres are located in various communities across Manitoba. • CMB coordinators provide academic and logistical support for students enrolled in Campus Manitoba. • CMB courses are delivered in two basic formats: live and online. • "Live" lectures are delivered on a predetermined schedule using either i. Linc or elluminate, real-time virtual classrooms that enable instructors to deliver live courseware to students and receive feedback via the internet. • "Online" classes are generally accessed using net-based interfaces called Angel, Moodle and Web. CT. Lectures are provided online, and can be supplemented by a combination of CDs, videos, printed manuals and posted information. Communication with instructors or other students takes place by email, bulletin boards and at times by phone.
Campus Manitoba 3/4 • Q: What is a "home institution"? • A: 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. • Quoted from http: //www. campusmanitoba. com/
Campus Manitoba 4/4 • Q: Are course credits fully transferrable between "home institutions"? • A: All CMB university courses have "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. • Quoted from http: //www. campusmanitoba. com/
Canadian Virtual University (CVU) www. cvu-uvc. ca • CVU is an association of Canadian universities specializing in online and distance education; member universities include: – – – Athabasca University Carleton University Laurentian University Memorial University of Newfoundland Mount Royal University Nipissing University Royal Military College of Canada Royal Roads University TÉLUQ, l'université à distance de l'UQÀM Thompson Rivers University of Manitoba University of New Brunswick
Prior Learning Assessment (PLAR) An example of PLAR: Certificate in Adult and Continuing Education (CACE) Relevant learning gained outside of the CACE Program may be eligible for credit towards the certificate to a maximum of 125 hours of credit. Recognition of prior learning may occur in several ways: • • • Exemptions/Transfer of Credit Exemptions may be granted against CACE courses for equivalent courses successfully completed and evaluated at recognized institutions. There is a $75 non-refundable fee for each exemption request for courses taken outside of the University of Manitoba and no fee for courses completed at the UM. Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR) Recognition of prior learning for credit in the CACE Program may be obtained by submission of evidence of verifiable learning. To be eligible for credit in CACE, learning must be both relevant and equivalent to the content of the CACE Program and be at a university level. The PLA assessment fee is $365. PLA is only an option at the start of the program. Credit for Seminar Study This is an option for those already enrolled in the CACE Program who would like CACE elective credit for a seminar or workshop taken outside of the Program. Approval for seminar credit must be arranged in advance of the seminar. (A statement of learning outcomes, proof of attendance and written assignment are required. The administrative fee for seminar credit is $125 for 20 hours or less and $200 for over 20 hours of credit to a maximum of 40 hours. )
Bachelor of Arts Integrated Studies 1/2 • The Bachelor of Arts Integrated Studies (BAIS) is a new degree program offered by the Faculty of Arts • BAIS is for working adults who have completed some postsecondary education and would like to complete an undergraduate degree; Extended Education helped with program development. • The BAIS requires concentrations of study rather than the traditional major/minor approach. These areas of concentration and elective components allow more flexibility in course selection based on interests and needs • The program is 90 credit hours divided into three components: – 21 credit hours of Foundation courses – 18 credit hours of an area of Concentration – 51 credit hours of elective courses
BAIS: Admission and TCE 2/2 • The Faculty will consider the completed certificate or diploma programs (listed below) or 24 credit hours of university level course work as the basis of admission even if courses were completed more than 10 years ago • Courses completed at community or junior colleges may also be used as basis for admission and possible transfer credit • Subject to admission and transfer credit conditions, students could expect to receive credit in the four certificate programs as follows: – – UM Cert. in Human Resource Management (HRM): 24 credit hours UM Cert. in Adult and Continuing Education (CACE): 18 credit hours UM Cert. in Financial and Management Accounting (FMA): 27 cr. hrs. Canadian Institute of Management Certificate Program in Management and Administration (C. I. M. ): 24 credit hours
