Is eCourses for me?

eCourses Manitoba could help you complete your educational goals. See the questions below for your specific circumstances. 

  • Why eCourses?

    Now, students can access hundreds of Manitoba’s online courses in one place.

    Using this website also makes it easy to find transfer information. Many of the listed courses have pre-arranged transfer agreements, which means that you can transfer the course to your home institution. Always remember to contact your academic advisor to confirm that the course will transfer into your program of study.

    There is more good news! Existing college and university students can save up to $150.00 per course! Our partners have agreed to waive the fees for the Letter of Permission and visiting student application when you use this website to find their online courses.

  • Is online learning for me?

    Online learning requires more independence and motivation than other courses as you will work remotely from other students and your instructor. By scheduling time regularly to work on your online courses, you can succeed! Online courses also require that you have regular access to a computer with the Internet.

  • How are courses delivered?

    Most of our courses are delivered online through a learning management system (LMS) at the university or college where the course is offered. Online courses commonly include videos, shared files and articles, discussion forums, and quizzes. Some require textbooks. Assignments are submitted online through the LMS and you receive feedback and grades the same way. If you don’t know how to find the LMS for your course, check out this article. We also have more information about how exams work for online courses.

  • Can I take courses from more than one institution at a time?

    Yes! Just make sure you complete the process on How It Works separately for each course. In some cases, that means submitting multiple applications.

    Registering for too many courses may put you in an overload situation. If that’s you, you’ll need to get approval from your Dean or academic advisor.

  • Can I take on-campus courses too?

    Yes, you can register for on-campus courses at your home institution. You can also register for on-campus courses at a host institution, as long as it’s on a Letter of Permission.

    Registering for too many courses may put you in an overload situation. If that’s you, you’ll need to get approval from your Dean or academic advisor.

  • I’m in high school. Can I take courses listed on the eCourses website?

    It depends. Some of our partner institutions offer dual credit programs for high school students. These programs allow you to take courses toward both your senior year of high school and a university degree. We encourage you to explore your options and meet with your guidance counsellor for more information on applying to dual credit programs. Use the links below to help determine your eligibility. Your guidance counsellor will assist you with the application process.

  • My home institution is not an eCourses partner. Can I register for a course?

    If you are currently a student at a post-secondary institution and they are not an eCourses partner, you may be able to register for courses. You would need to speak with an advisor at your home institution to find out what the Letter of Permission process is and to determine if the course you want to take will transfer. After that, you would need to apply as a visiting student. Since your school is not an eCourses partner, you would not be eligible for the fee waivers.
