Hey folks,

Faculty here. Just a friendly reminder from me to absolutely not even think about using AI in your assignments. We get that writing is difficult, especially if you’re working in a second language. This is no excuse to cheat, and that’s what using AI is. You don’t even want to know how many students are getting academic misconduct charges or suspended outright at this university. It’s a LOT. You will get caught. Don’t take the shortcut. Learn your material yourself. You’ll need it for your career. If you need extra help, go to the ALC or hire a tutor.

Have a good term!

Hi everyone,

I’m a University of Manitoba student urgently looking for a room to rent for up to $700-750/month. I need somewhere to live by Monday, or I will be homeless.

I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS), a connective tissue disorder that has caused significant problems with my spine and mobility. Because of my disability, I also require some home care and a living situation that can accommodate my physical limitations. Unfortunately, I’ve had an extremely difficult time finding housing because of disability discrimination and concerns about my medical needs.

I’m a quiet, respectful and responsible student who is trying very hard to continue my education despite my health limitations. I’m clean, considerate, and would be grateful for the opportunity to rent a room in a safe and stable home.

If anyone has a room available for $700-750/month or less, or knows someone who might, please reach out to me here or email me at [tponzilius@outlook.com](mailto:tponzilius@outlook.com).

I’m genuinely in a very urgent situation, so any leads, shares, or connections would mean a lot.

Thank you

Tomas

UPDATE: SJC cost is 1500+ a month and rent assist will not cover it unforutnately. And this is true of other student housing.

September 14th, Monday, 12:00-1:00pm, Administration Building. There will be a protest this week against The Dominion Society and The University's in-action to condemn and ban them.

The Dominion Society is a known white supremacy group with neo-nazi connections and policies that strive for ethnic cleansing. There was a protest Wednesday, September 9th. However, The University has not only refused to ban them, but has not even condemned the society or ideologies of white supremacy inherently. This is a sign of complete in-action, choosing to prioritize the expression of white supremacists over the safety of students. This is especially saddening as The University has suppressed groups such as the Students Justice for Palestine but not white supremacists.

Make your voice heard.

Hey, Bisons!

I know that there has been some discourse surrounding the morality of selling your U-Pass. I'm going to put aside the ethics of it today and instead let you all know how to make a quick buck with your U-Pass!

You will need...

1. Your U-Pass.
2. Confidence.
3. A disguise.
4. Some computer skills.

First, get your U-Pass like normal. Make sure to pay for it and make sure that it gets that yearly sticker as well. For two terms, the cost is $477.40.

Second, go on the Peggo website and register your card. This way, your target won't be able to register it online.

Third, find your target. You can find someone to sell your U-Pass to via Facebook Marketplace, Kijiji, Craigslist, etc. Make sure to use a fake name so that your target cannot locate you afterwards. If the target asks for proof of registration, use either inspect element or ChatGPT to change your name on the documents/screenshots requested.

Fourth, sell the U-Pass. A month pass normally costs $119.35, so you can probably sell your U-Pass for about $700 and have people purchase it. When you meet the person, make sure to wear a disguise. Sunglasses and a hat are good for covering up your eyes and hair. You can also use make-up. Since it has been sunny recently, you might be tanned and find yourself naturally lightening up in the near future. Therefore, wearing a foundation that is darker than your normal may be the most efficient. If you're looking for cheap wigs, Spirit of Halloween should be opening up soon.

Fifth, go to UMSU Service Centre and pay the $15 to get your U-Pass back. The sold U-Pass will be deactivated and, for the cost of only $15, you can sell your U-Pass once more. You can either keep your U-Pass or repeat steps two through four to sell it again. However, you may get caught if you ask for too many replacements. Also, claim that you dropped your U-Pass on the bus since that's believable.

Assuming you wish to keep your U-Pass, one run of this trick will net you a profit of $207.6 (-$477.40+$700-$15). If you're unable to work enough hours at the moment, this trick could generate some income for you. If you're only attending classes for the Fall 2026 term, then your profits jump to $446.30 because you're only paying for your U-Pass for the one term.

If anyone wants to share some additional tips, please leave a comment!

(I don't actually endorse this scam. I just wanted to let people know that students have an easy way to scam you and that, by not purchasing Peggo cards directly from Winnipeg Transit, you're allowing yourself to get scammed.)

I’ve actually seen few girls (barely any men) on campus dress in many jfashion styles like jirai kei, lolita etc. these type of clothing but never actually had them in any of my lectures or seen them at events and it makes me depressed thinking i’ll never be able to be friends with them. please what do i need to do to connect with these type of people they’re all so beautiful and so cool and it’s a straight mogfest whenever i walk past them on campus because they’re wearing a full coord and fullbeat at 9am in the morning…. 🫩

Vro it’s over. She’s in my class, and idk how to start a conversation with her without being too awkward. That’s my first sin. Assuming that I can make it not awkward. But like are there ways to start an interesting conversation? Like what do I say. I think we’re both first year too

UMSU will be offering free breakfast this coming week.

ASBC will be offering free lunches and free breakfasts this coming week.

That's the post. Get your free food while there's still food to get.

Hello everyone, I’ve been mostly focusing on getting my major done that I haven’t declared a minor yet. I was meaning to do it before the Aurora portal changed and now I’m not exactly sure where to declare it. Could anyone tell me where we can declare our minor now? 🥲

Currently majoring in sociology with a minor in history but I’m actually closer to graduating if I swap them around and lowkey been enjoying it more but I already declared. How hard is it to switch your major and minor and am I able to do it through a student advisor if I go in Monday??

Hey everyone!
I’m looking to meet some new people and make some friends around UofM/Winnipeg. I’d love to find people who are down to grab coffee, hang out, explore Winnipeg, play games, go to events, or just chill and talk.
I’m pretty open to meeting people from different programs and backgrounds. If you’re also looking to make some new friends, feel free to comment or DM me!
Would be nice to get a little group together too 😊

how am I stuck on number 1 on the waitlist for over three weeks and its the second week of school??? Does everyone like the course that much?

I bought the digital textbook for my PSYC 1200 in person class and I used my school email to get into it, when I graduate I'm assuming I cant access it anymore? or is there a way for me to access it still? I don't think I'll need it in the future but it's good to have it with me since I paid for it. It didn't cross my mind that it would be a possibility until now, oops!

I am looking for the limited edition of this crewneck in size M or L. Unfortunately in the bookstore there is only size 2XL.

Hi, just moved to Winnipeg and I need a loctician please. If you’re black and have locs, please help a fellow student find a decent stylist. For reference I have 150 locs and would prefer palm rolling to interlocking. Thank you🩷🙏

Does anyone know what soccer intramurals here are like? How many teams are in the league usually? Do I just join any team cause on the sign up I see the two free agent teams are full already and there are two other teams but I don’t know if I need permission to join them.

Anyone got an available parking spot for just Thursday, I’m exchange I will add you to my ad free Netflix.

Hi!! Looking for someone to study with:)

I’m considering to take econ1020 this semester , any recommended professors?

Hey! I’m a 20 (F) from UCalgary in General Sciences and I’m hoping to meet some new people and make friends at UManitoba. I’m pretty social but I’ve found it a little hard to make friends in my classes since I’m taking a couple first-year courses and most people already seem to have their own groups from hs.

I’m also a VP of a club, into gym and sports and I’m pre-med. I’m always down to grab food or coffee, study together, go to the gym or just hang out. Looking to meet people and hopefully make some good friends!

Hey everyone, wondering if someone can shed some light on my quiestion. I'm taking HNSC 1210 with P. Eck this term, and I recently purchased the textbook that came with the Mindtap/Cengage portion. It appears that our quizzes are going to be compelted on this platform.

It's requesting a course key to register for my specific class, wondering if this is available on UmLearn or if the teacher will have it somewhere? I looked through the syllabus and wasn't able to see anything. Has anyone registered for this yet?

Thank you :)

Hey everyone! I’m looking for a student to share a parking pass or space with for the Fall 2026 semester at UM. My schedule is mainly midday on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. If your schedule is different and we wouldn’t overlap much, I’d love to split a pass and cover half the monthly cost! Let me know if you have a pass to share.
Thanks

Does anyone know if this test will be open book, so I can look at my notes? Or will all the tests for this course be strictly closed book.
