SHS099 (Students Helping Students’ Transition to University Life) is a free non-credit optional online course for students who will be commencing studies with the International College of Manitoba (ICM) in the upcoming term. It is designed for students who wish to get a head start on their studies. The course is led by former ICM students, who serve as mentors to aide prospective international students navigate the complexities of their new education system. Units will be delivered over the course of five weeks and cover a variety of topics, including overviewing the learning management system (Moodle), connecting students with their future classmates, understanding essential elements of course outlines, planning for weekly and term schedules, introducing concepts of academic integrity, and more. Students have flexibility in choosing which units they wish to complete. For those who complete a pre-determined set of units, they will be awarded priority registration during enrolment.
