COURSE PLANNING BASICS
Here is some basic information about courses to help you in your planning:
• Courses are o"ered in two di"erent terms during the Regular Session (September to April).
• Each course has a credit hour value: usually 3 or 6.
• You may take anywhere from 1 course per term (3 credit hours) up to 5 courses per term (15 credit hours)
during the Regular Session.
• Courses are also o"ered in summer. For more information, review the Summer Term Planning Guide.

Course(s) per Term Credit Hours for Credit Hours for Course Load (%) Student Status
One Term Both Terms
1 course 3 credit hours 6 credit hours 20% Part-time
2 courses 6 credit hours 12 credit hours 40% Part-time
3 courses 9 credit hours 18 credit hours 60% Full-time
4 courses 12 credit hours 24 credit hours 80% Full-time
5 courses 15 credit hours 30 credit hours 100% Full-time

DETERMINE YOUR COURSE LOAD
Deciding the number of courses you will take in your !rst year will depend on many factors, and it di"ers
for every student. After reviewing the program pages for each degree program you are interested in,
you should then review the considerations about course load below:
1-2 Courses Per Term (Part-Time)

• Can be a good option if you have signi!cant commitments outside of school (ex. a job or sports
commitment).
• Taking 1-2 courses (3 or 6 credit hours per term) means your student status is "part-time." This
may make you ineligible for certain types of funding (ex. certain scholarships, student loans,
sponsorships) or student bene!ts (ex. Health coverage, U-Pass).
• Contact the Financial Aid and Awards office to con!rm what course load meets your speci!c
situation.
• If you are an international student, please contact the International Centre to determine if you are
required to be a full-time student during the Fall and Winter Terms.
• You may not have enough credit hours to apply for your target degree program after your !rst
year.
3 Courses Per Term (Full-Time)

• 3 courses per term (9 credit hours per term) means your student status is "full-time."
• This is often a minimum requirement for government student loans, study permits for international
students or sponsorships.
• You are eligible for certain student bene!ts (ex. UMSU Health and Dental).
• You may not have enough credit hours to apply for your target degree program after your !rst
year.
4 Courses Per Term (Full-Time)

• 4 courses per term (12 credit hours per term) means your student status is “full-time.”
• Many degree programs at UM require that students complete a minimum of 24 credit hours to be
eligible to apply .
• Some scholarships (including Entrance Scholarships) require that students must take an 80%
course load, which is 4 courses per term.
5 Courses Per-Term (Full-Time)

• 5 courses per term (15 credit hours per term) means your student status is “full-time.”
• 5 courses per term is the maximum most !rst year students can register in.
• If you register in 5 courses per term, we recommended that other commitments (ex. employment,
social commitments etc) be kept to a bare minimum.
• It can be challenging to balance this course load while also adjusting to the new expectations of
university.
• There are some degree programs at UM where you must take 5 courses/15 credit hours per term if
you would like to apply by the end of your !rst year.

# If you have any questions about determining your course load, contact an Academic Advisor in the
First Year Centre.

STEPS TO CREATING YOUR TIMETABLE
After you decide which courses you want to take, you will need to create a timetable. Courses are
o"ered at various times throughout the week. It is up to you to make a schedule that best suits
your lifestyle and commitments.

1 DOWNLOAD OR PRINT A TIMETABLE PLANNING FORM

In Aurora, days of the week are listed as:
M = MONDAY T = TUESDAY W = WEDNESDAY T = THURSDAY F = FRIDAY

Lectures are usually three hours a week:

• Mondays/Wednesdays/Fridays (MWF) 50 minutes (10 minute break in between class times)
• Tuesdays/Thursdays (TT) 75 minutes (15 minute break in between class times)
• Evening classes 3 hours, once a week

Some courses also have a lab component:

• Labs for Science courses
• Generally 3 hours, once a week (ex. Biology, Chemistry, Physics)

• Labs for Mathematics or Arts courses

• Generally 1 hour, once a week (ex. Mathematics, Languages)

 3 FILL IN YOUR TIMETABLE
Plan your timetable by adding each course to the Timetable Planning Form.
Courses are offered in two different formats:
• In-Person sections of a course have speci!c meeting times and locations.
• Distance and Online Education sections of a course (ex. D01, D02) do not have a scheduled
lecture time when you need to be logged in. This allows you to go through the course
material independently on your own time.
• Term tests and the !nal exam will be at a set day and time scheduled in the Central
Standard time (CDT/CST) time zone.

When building a timetable, it is critical to prioritize which courses to add to your timetable
!rst.

Prioritize:
• Courses that are o"ered with the least number of sections, as these o"er less flexibility and
may !ll up more quickly.
• Courses that require both a lecture and a lab section, as these can be challenging to !t into
a timetable.
• Required courses, as these are higher priority than those you are choosing as electives.
• Spanned courses, as these will take up the same day and time in both Fall and
Winter Terms (ex. PSYC 1200).

UNDECIDED?
NOT SURE WHICH DEGREE IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
DON’T WANT TO RUSH INTO SELECTING A DEGREE?
THAT’S OK!
You can use your !rst year to test out courses, explore your interests, and research careers. By the time you
register for your second year, you should know which degree you want and will pick your courses based on
the requirements for that program.

What courses should I take in my !rst year?

• If you haven’t chosen a degree, you won’t have a list of speci!c courses to choose from when registering for
your !rst year. Instead, you can use the Recommended Introductory Courses List to identify courses you
are interested in and you can register in those courses.
• You can also view the Faculties and Programs List to see all the degree programs o"ered by the University
of Manitoba.

What is the Recommended Introductory Courses List?

• The Recommended Introductory Courses List contains all of the courses that new students have access to.
Some of the subjects are similar to those available in high school, while others will be completely new.
• The courses in the Recommended Introductory Courses List are grouped by the faculty that o"ers them.

How do I use the Recommended Introductory Courses List to pick courses?

• Browse through the courses in the Recommended Introductory Courses List (even the ones you are not
familiar with). If you are interested in taking a speci!c course, click on its course code ex. BIOL 1020 !to view
essential information such as a course description, prerequisites, and restrictions.
• Make a list of the courses that sound interesting to you and write the name of the faculty that o"ers the
course beside it. Be sure to include the course codes! You’ll need that information when it’s time to register.
• When it’s time to register, pick your courses from the list of courses you created.

What's next for me?

• Explore degrees that contain the courses you !nd most interesting and research the careers related to
those degrees.
• If you !nd that you are interested in several courses from a speci!c faculty, go to the
Faculties and Programs List. You can see all the degrees o"ered by that faculty, and review a degree's
speci!c program page for more information.

Things to consider when using your !rst year to explore

• Exploring courses and taking time to research degrees and careers can help you feel con!dent and excited
about your degree choice, but it can add time to your studies. Depending on the degree you choose and the
number of credit hours you take, you might not be able to apply to the degree after your !rst year of studies.
• Don’t forget to dedicate time during your !rst year to research degrees and careers. Taking a variety of
courses you are interested in is only the !rst step.

 HIGH SCHOOL PREREQUISITES FOR UNIVERSITY-LEVEL COURSES
Speci!c 40S courses may be required as prerequisites depending on the courses you choose. In the
Recommended Introductory Courses List, click the course code ex. BIOL 1020 !of a speci!c course to view
prerequisites.
If you are missing a high school prerequisite or did not achieve a sufficient grade for prerequisite purposes, you
have the option to upgrade your high school course.

Admission to the Western College of Veterinary Medicine (WCVM) requires at least 60 credit hours of
university-level study, including speci!c courses listed in the chart.
• CHEM 1120 is not included in the 60 credit hours required admission. UM applicants will apply to WCVM with
at least 63 credit hours, including CHEM 1120.
• All applicants must complete at least two full years of university courses. The de!nition of a "full year" for
this purpose is 24 credit hours in each of two Regular Sessions (i.e., September-April).
• CHEM 1120 will not count as part of the 24 credit hours for a full year of university courses. If a student
wishes to take CHEM 1120 during a Regular Session, they must take 27 credit hours total during a Regular
Session to meet the requirement of a full year of university courses.
• WCVM strongly recommends that applicants complete 30 credit hours a year to ensure applicants’
preparedness and future success.

26 07.17.25

recommended to complete one of these in !rst year as part of your electives.
• In lieu of AGRI 2400 (M), you may take STAT 1000 (M) to meet the statistics requirement for admission to the
WCVM. However, AGRI 2400 (M) is required for all degree programs in the Faculty of Agricultural and Food
Sciences.
• AGRI 2030 (W) meets the 3 credit hour English requirement. In lieu of AGRI 2030 (W), you may take ENGL

2030 (W) is required for all degree programs in the Faculty of Agriculture and Food Sciences.
• Choose electives from the Recommended Introductory Courses List.
• If you are not admitted to Veterinary Medicine after 63 credit hours, you may decide to complete an Animal
Systems degree. If you're planning to take the Pre-Vet pathway in parallel with an Animal Systems degree,
take the following recommended electives:
• ABIZ 1000 • AGRI 1600 • ECON 1010 • ANSC 2500 • ANSC 2510 • ANSC 2520 • HNSC 1200 or HNSC 1210

plan to enter an academic program that requires a three year degree such as Education, Occupational
Therapy, or Medicine.

B.A. ADVANCED – (120 CREDIT HOURS)

A four year (120 credit hour) degree which provides a general education in the Humanities and Social
Sciences with a concentration in at least two subject areas (the Major and Minor or a Double Major with
no Minor). Choose the B.A. Advanced if you want to develop a greater degree of specialization in one
area of study or if you plan to enter an academic program that requires a four year degree.

B.A. HONOURS – (120 CREDIT HOURS)

A four year (120 credit hour) degree, which provides a rigorous examination of a particular subject area.
It requires more courses in the Honours !eld and provides a greater intensity and depth of study. A

degree program, and can be in an area that is unrelated to your major. For example, you can major in
Psychology and minor in Biology.

and will grant university credit for a number of di"erent types of programs abroad.

FACULTY OF SCIENCE
DEGREES OFFERED IN THE FACULTY OF SCIENCE
[Link]. GENERAL – (90 CREDIT HOURS)
A three year (90 credit hour) general program provides students with general training in a number of diverse Science
disciplines. General programs are intended for:
• Students who are looking for a general education in the natural and/or mathematical sciences
• Students who are planning to enter a program that requires a !rst degree such as Education, Occupational
Therapy, or Medicine

[Link]. MAJOR – (120 CREDIT HOURS)

A four year (120 credit hour) major program provides students with in-depth study in a speci!c Science discipline and
prepare students for a career in that discipline.
Major programs are not intended for students who wish to pursue graduate studies (ex. Master’s or PhD). However,
if a student completes a Major program and wishes to pursue graduate studies, they can usually do so without
difficulty.

[Link]. HONOURS – (120 CREDIT HOURS)

A four year (120 credit hour) honours program provides students with extensive and rigorous study in a speci!c
Science discipline. Students are required to pursue this degree full-time, and there are higher grade requirements
compared to General and Major programs.
Honours programs are intended for students who wish to pursue graduate studies (ex. Master’s or PhD). Students
who are interested in an Honours program should connect with advisors in the Faculty of Science.

CO-OPERATIVE EDUCATION (CO-OP)

Co-operative education is a form of experiential learning which integrates academic, classroom-based learning and
relevant, paid work experience. Most Honours and Major programs in the Faculty of Science have Co-op options. For
more information, review the Science Co-op Program page.

MINOR (18 CREDIT HOURS)

Your major is your main area of study within your degree program. Most of the courses in your degree program will
focus on your major.
In contrast, your minor is a second, smaller area of study. A minor takes up 18 credit hours of your degree program,
and can be in an area that is unrelated to your major. For example, you can major in Biology and minor in Philosophy.
Students in the General program do not have the option of declaring a minor. Students in Honours and Major
programs have the option of declaring a minor.

PREPARING FOR A HEALTH-RELATED PROFESSION IN THE FACULTY OF SCIENCE

Science degrees o"er in-depth knowledge of the Science disciplines that help us understand bigger picture
concepts. Science degrees also o"er opportunities to take the courses you need to apply to professional health-
related programs.
In general, taking introductory courses in Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Microbiology, Physics, Statistics, and
Mathematics can lead to degree programs in the Life Sciences and are great preparation for admission into
professional health-related programs. In addition to speci!c courses, many programs require entrance exams/tests
and interviews.
If you are planning on applying for programs at the University of Manitoba, please see their program pages in the
First Year Planning Guide for further details:
• Dentistry • Pharmacy • Physical Therapy • Nursing
• Medicine • Occupational Therapy • Respiratory Therapy
If you are planning on applying for a program outside of the University of Manitoba, you are encouraged to
consult with each individual school’s website and admissions information as requirements vary from school to
school. A few programs commonly identi!ed are the Western College of Veterinary Medicine at the University
of Saskatchewan and the School of Optometry & Vision Science at the University of Waterloo.

UM COURSE OPTIONS FOR UPGRADING
If you are missing a high school prerequisite or did not achieve a sufficient grade for prerequisite
purposes, you have the option to upgrade your high school courses through the University of Manitoba.
You may take these upgrading courses simultaneously with other university courses, as long as they do
not require the course you are upgrading as a prerequisite.
Some upgrading courses are not worth university credit and will not count in your overall course load.
Be mindful of this when considering the minimum course load required for admission to a program, your
!nancial aid (ex. Student loans, bursaries, scholarships), your study permits, etc.

BIOLOGY 40S
