Credit Tracking

Each student’s credits have been checked to ensure that they are sufficient for graduation. Students have also been advised as to their scholarship eligibility with the University of Winnipeg and the University of Manitoba.

 

Interim Reports

Students with an average of 60% or lower were issued an interim report. These are designed to allow students to make adjustments before the end of Term 1, which is on November 18.
