GREETINGS FROM DR. ANNETTE TRIMBEE PRESIDENT & VICE CHANCELLOR On behalf of our faculty and staff, welcome to The University of Winnipeg.

The University of Winnipeg is located on Treaty One land in the heart of the Metis nation. Our campus is in the center of downtown in one of the most diverse communities in Canada. We pride ourselves in having a welcoming community that embraces this diversity, making it a part of our identity. The combination of global and local cultures inspires creativity in our teaching and research. Your enrollment with UWinnipeg adds to our diversity; we are richer because you are here.

I graduated from UWinnipeg with a Bachelor of Science in biology. The education I received inspired me to pursue my intellectual passions. I hope that your experience will be similar to my own. I am pleased you chose to study at UWinnipeg and know that this will be a time of great personal growth for you.

At UWinnipeg our goal is to prepare students for success—while they are on our campus, in their careers, and in life. Student Services staff are focused on assisting you and are here to support your needs. I encourage you to connect with them at your earliest convenience.

There are countless ways to grow during your time at UWinnipeg. Our university community is made up of conscientious local and global citizens who make a positive impact wherever they go. We are connected to organizations in the city and throughout the country. We offer exciting opportunities to pursue hands-on learning experiences and co-op work placements. I encourage you to consider joining a student group; there are more than 50 on campus to match your interests. As you explore all that UWinnipeg has to offer you will increase your ability to collaborate with a variety of people, strengthen your leadership skills and make life-long friends.

Enjoy the journey and welcome to The University of Winnipeg.

TIPS FOR YOUR FIRST YEAR FIND YOUR BALANCE Living well is all about realizing balance between academics and your personal life.

Get sunshine and fresh air. Go to the gym and the art gallery. Plug into community organizations through the September Volunteer Fair. Get involved in the student associations that nurture your greatest passions. Connect with your classmates – all new students want to meet other students. Be sure to book some downtime too.

Cultivate a well-rounded campus life and enjoy!

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF As best you can, take care of all aspects of your health and well-being (eg. nutritionally, emotionally, psycho-spiritually, mentally, socially, fitness-wise, workwise, etc.) You need to be healthy and energized to be productive and successful in your studies. Take time for yourself. Turn off your phone. Get some sleep. Spend time with people who love and nourish you and stay active. It is common to feel stressed and overwhelmed, so don’t be afraid to ask for help! Keep in mind the list of support services available in this Resource Guide.

PARTICIPATE IN CLASS Optimize your success in courses by engaging in class discussions, creating study groups, reviewing your notes prior to class, and reading ahead to get your brain anticipating the next topic. Talk with your professors—they are real people who want to support your learning.

STUDY SMART Manage your time wisely and cultivate fabulous study skills by attending (up to nine different) free Study Skills workshops in September/October and January/February.

This will benefit you! See uwinnipeg.ca/study-skills for more information.

PLAN AHEAD Use WebAdvisor’s Student Planning module to map out your term by term degree timeline. Check your degree and major requirements and your progress towards graduation. Request a review of your plan from an academic advisor. View alternative degree programs in which you may be interested.

UWSA HEALTH PLAN The UWSA Health Plan is a service provided to students by the UWSA to ensure that all fulltime students have health insurance; the plan provider is Green Shield. All students taking nine or more credit hours in a single term and all International students on study permits longer than six months are automatically enrolled in the plan. Part-time students are not automatically enrolled, but are able to opt-in.

For more information about plan coordination, opt-out criteria, opt-in information and plan benefits, please visit: theuwsa.ca/healthplan Important Dates for the UWSA Health Plan: Fall Term Opt-Change/Opt-Out Date: September 19, 2016 (Opt-Outs will open Sept.1, 2016) Winter Term Opt-Change/Opt-Out Date: January 17, 2017 For questions about the UWSA Health Plan, email the Health Plan Coordinator at: health@theuwsa.ca

U-PASS The U-Pass is a universal bus pass program where students pay a fee at the beginning of each term for a bus pass that is valid between September—December and January—April.

This program allows students unlimited transportation across our city during our eight-month academic year. This is a mandatory program in partnership with Winnipeg Transit for all undergraduate students enrolled in nine or more credit hours in a term and all full-time graduate studies students. The U-Pass program is a student-led initiative where a vast majority of students voted in favour of having a highly subsidized bus pass included in their tuition fees.

The U-Pass fee is $130 per term for 2016–2017. Students will pay this fee with their other tuition fees at the beginning of each term. We are excited to launch the U-Pass program this fall. U-Pass is a cost-effective and sustainable program that allows students to invest in our city’s transit system as well as a step forward in making our campus more sustainable. Students must pick up their U-Pass from the UWSA Info Booth located on the first floor of Centennial Hall.

For information about the U-Pass program at The University of Winnipeg, visit: theuwsa.ca/u-pass.
