Entry requirements

There are four points of entry into ICM. These entry points are:

Entry point 1

If you do not meet ICM’s minimum English language entry criterion, you may choose to enrol in the University of Manitoba's English Language Centre, here at University of Manitoba, to improve your English language proficiency. ICM staff will discuss such arrangements with you on an individual basis.

Entry point 2

If you only marginally do not satisfy ICM’s minimum English language entry criteria, you – in your first semester of enrolment at ICM – will be enrolled in the ICM Mixed Program.

This program requires you to study 15 hours per week of English and a maximum of two academic units. The ICM Academic Advisor will assist you to select your academic units on an individual basis. Entry to the Mixed Program requires an IELTS score (or equivalent) of 5.0.

Entry point 3

UTP Stage I. This program is designed specifically for students who require additional academic support prior to commencing the full degree-equivalent program (referred to below as UTP Stage II).

In many instances, you will be enrolled in UTP Stage I if you have completed Year 11 studies only and/or if you have completed Year 12 but with marginal success.

If you have completed Year 11 studies only, you will be required to study all eight courses of the UTP Stage I over two semesters (four courses in each semester).

If you have completed Year 12 with marginal success, you may be permitted to transfer to UTP Stage II after completing four courses with a 70% average in those courses.

Entry point 4

UTP Stage II. This program is equivalent to Year 1 of selected degree programs of the University of Manitoba. Completion of UTP Stage II requires you to have a Grade Point Average (GPA) of at least 2.0 and satisfy relevant entry requirements to progress to the University of Manitoba with a minimum of 30 credit hours of standing. Under normal circumstances, these 10 courses would be completed over two semesters.

On completion of UTP Stage II, ICM will assess your transfer arrangements to Year 2 of selected university degree programs. In the event that your transfer is not approved, it may be possible for you to continue studying at ICM to improve your Grade Point Average (GPA) and to complete further courses as approved on an individual basis.

The entry requirements for the entry points listed above are:

• English language requirements
• Academic requirements
• Mathematics requirements
• Engineering requirements
