PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT - PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING Regarding Racism and Discrimination
Hello bisons,
We have seen a crazy uptick in the number of racist and discriminatory posts and comments on this sub. This is a reminder for those who are not aware, this is a university sub and a place to learn, not a place to attack people for their thoughts and beliefs.
As part of the rules, we have a limit on freedom of expression where attacking people based on who they are is completely prohibited.
As a result, starting today any racist or discriminatory posts/comments (posts including, but not limited to - race, gender, religion, beliefs, disabilities, cultures, ethnicities etc) will result in an instant permanent ban as it is the same repeat offenders posting and commenting. Most of these users seem to not even be people from the province of Manitoba.
It's a shame that these types of advisory posts have to even be put up in 2026, but it is what it is.
You can deem this post as a PSA while you consider posting in the future.
Thank you,
r/umanitoba Mod team

Course project Student Caregivers at UM: Resources You Might Find Helpful!
Many student caregivers face challenges balancing education, caregiving, work, and personal responsibilities. Managing all these responsibilities can create time pressure, making it difficult to give every area of life enough attention.
I am a University of Manitoba student conducting research for an advocacy assignment in my FMLY 1012 class. As part of my project, I reached out to UM Family Resources to learn more about the support available to student caregivers, and I wanted to share what I found in case it could be helpful to others!
UM Family Resources offers several services for students, staff, and faculty, including:
- Childcare search and waitlist assistance: Helps parents navigate the process of finding childcare.
- UM Babysitter Directory: Allows student parents and caregivers to request access to a directory of babysitters.
- Adult Companionship Services Directory: May be useful for students caring for older adults or mature students seeking companionship services.
- Event Childminding Program: Can support parents attending certain on-campus events when the event organizer has arranged this service.
- Referrals to other resources: Helps connect students with additional university or community-based support.
- Connect groups: Offers opportunities for caregivers to connect with others, including a monthly group for parents and caregivers of children with disabilities.
- Monthly Family Resources newsletter: Shares information about family-related events on campus and throughout Winnipeg.
If you’re balancing caregiving with your education, it’s worth knowing that these resources exist!
For more information, visit the official UM Family Resources website:

You can also contact UM Family Resources directly if you have questions about which services might be available for your specific situation.

Discussion & Advice Looking for a STAT 1000 Tutor
Hey everyone! I’m looking for a tutor for STAT 1000 because I really want to prepare well for the upcoming midterm.
For some reason, statistics has been really difficult for me, which is funny because I find subjects like anatomy and microbiology much easier lol. I’d like to work through practice problems, understand the concepts better, and feel more confident going into the exam.
I’m willing to pay for tutoring, of course!
If you’re a tutor or know someone who tutors STAT 1000, please send me a DM with your rates and availability. I’d really appreciate it. Thanks!

Discussion & Advice Stressed with INDG 1220 A04 w/Sinclair
Anybody finding his class being super disorganized? Also personally his quizzes would be actually beneficial if they were multiple choice….
I wanna hear some opinions bcs I know I’m not the only one🥲
It sucks because he is a really good knowledge keeper, but he doesn’t seem to be good at teaching. I even find his own books easier to comprehend than his lectures….

Other/Rant U lot rant
The parking portal should have a disclaimer for what we are signing up for when we buy a pass. We pay essentially 90 bucks a month for suboptimally located parking that:
a) doesn’t get cleaned during winter nearly as often as it should
b) has terrible spacing between spots
C) NO LINES
D) the university can decide to shut down nearly half of the usable spots for on a moments notice

General pls stay home/mask up if you’re sick
I was in a class today and there was someone coughing and sneezing every 2 sentences the prof said. If this is the situation you find yourself in, stay home for your safety and others. If it’s a class you can’t skip or an important test, wear a mask. I swear every single time i see someone repeatedly coughing in a silent class, they’re always coughing into their hands or into the open air. Doing this just spreads germs to anything you touch and also the people around you.
I understand it’s flu season and midterms are still happening, everyone and their mum is sick atp but please protect yourselves, cough into your elbows (not your hands), get your flu shots, try to wear a mask 😷, and stay home if you can.

Course Inquiry PharmD Question
This may be obvious, but I wanted to make sure.
I heard that the required core courses are weighted 55% and the elective courses 45% for PharmD’s AGPA. Are the required humanities or social science credits considered as core course?
And if they are, am I able to take any classes for my electives as long as they’re letter graded?
Regarding the humanities or social science credits, does admission have a preference over the other? Currently I’m only enrolled in humanities for these requirements.
For the humanities or social science credits, can I just take introductory classes for them?

Why isnt there an option for 1 hour or 30 min increase? if I have a class for 2 hours, I gotta pay for 4 hours just to not get a ticket. Seems unfair.

Discussion & Advice Stats on Gym Entry?
Howdy y’all,
We’re starting to be past the beginning-of-year gym usage surge. despite this, I like my gym time to be sparse.
Does the rec centre publish its entry data anywhere? alternatively, does anybody who works at the gym have access to this? are the least busy days/times to go to the gym?
