In addition to submitting an application form (see umanitoba.ca/admissions), all applicants are required to attend a writing session where they will be asked to write a brief essay on an assigned topic. Forty-five minutes will be allowed to complete this requirement. Applicants will be assessed for English usage and style (specifically, grammar, vocabulary, sentence and essay structure, spelling, etc). A maximum of twenty points will be awarded.

You may sign up for any date listed below, but
you must submit your application form and fee by the Wednesday, February 15, 2023 deadline

The writing dates are as follows:

These sessions will be held in the Education Building at the University of Manitoba, Fort Garry Campus.

Applicants residing in Winnipeg or surrounding areas (within a 2 hour drive to Winnipeg) are asked to attend one of these sessions. Applicants who do not reside in Winnipeg or surrounding areas are permitted to complete the writing skills exercise at a centre closer to them. In addition, an applicant may request the services of Student Accessibility Services. Contact the Coordinator for Admission to the Faculty of Education, Desiree Kennedy (Desiree.Kennedy@umanitoba.ca), to make arrangements for these situations. Applicants must present photo ID for entrance to the writing session. In addition, applicants should be reminded that they can only attend one of the sessions scheduled.
