FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

General Questions I need confirmation of my enrolment. How do I get this done?

• If you need a letter written, complete the online request form available at www.cmu.ca/confirmation

• If you need a form completed, send the form to the Financial and Student Services Advisor. Where do I find my student ID number?

• New Students – Your Student ID number is on your admission letter. • Returning Students – If you forgot your student ID, look on your CMU Student Portal or on your

CMU Student Card. The grade statement, the transcript, and the bill statement all indicate your CMU Student ID number.

What is the CMU Student Portal? The CMU Student Portal is your online tool that gives you access to your:

• Registration • Bill statement (a bill statement will not be mailed to you) • Timetable • Class information that your instructors post such as the syllabus, announcements, assignment

descriptions, notes, etc. • Your grades and an unofficial transcript

How do I access my CMU Student Portal? New students are given a CMU Student Portal User ID and password prior to registration. Returning students – If you forget your User ID or password, contact South Side Reception at 204.487.3300 ext 363.

• Open Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer. Other internet browsers are not as compatible. • Go to: www.cmu.ca • Scroll over the “Current Students” section at the top of the page • Choose “Student Portal” from the menu • Enter your user name and password

Note: First time users must set up security questions How do I access CMU computers and my CMU Email? New students – will be issued a User ID, password, and CMU Email in late August.

I think I am eligible to graduate. What do I need to do? Read the information in the “Graduation Information” section of this registration guide. Financial Questions To whom do I talk about student loans? Contact the Financial and Student Services Advisor regarding student loans. There is further information in the “Financing Your Education” section of this registration guide. When are fees due? How do I pay? For information on when fees are due and how to pay, go to the “Student Payment Methods” section in this registration guide. Advising Questions How many credits do I need to take to be a full-time student? Full-time status is defined as 18 credit hours per calendar year with a minimum of 6 credit hours in the fall semester and a minimum of 6 credit hours in the winter semester. A full-time course load ranges from 18 credit hours to a maximum of 30 credit hours. Student Loans requires that a student register for 9 credit hours in a semester to be considered full-time for that semester. Note: Some scholarships and bursaries require students to register in more than 9 credit hours per semester. Why should I register early?

• Early registration is needed to ensure adequate student numbers to offer the course. • For intensive courses, early registration is necessary for students to accomplish readings and

assignments prior to the start of the classroom portion of the course. Why should I get to know my faculty advisor? Your faculty advisor is available to meet with you about courses, future academic and career plans, or personal/spiritual issues. Faculty advisors take a special interest in their students’ needs and concerns, and can help to give perspective and advice. What are credit hours? Credit hours are a standard measure used in determining how much academic material is covered. A course of three credit hours normally requires three hours of lectures per week for one semester. Thus, if you choose five courses of three credit hours each, you will be in class for fifteen hours.

TAKING COURSES ON A LETTER OF PERMISSION AT ANOTHER INSTITUTION In consultation with your faculty advisor, you may decide to register for courses offered through another university or seminary. Please complete the “Request for a Letter of Permission” form at the back of this registration guide. The Director of your Program of Study must approve the form prior to processing. If you need to take a course (courses) at another university or seminary for credit at CMU, here are the STEPS to follow:

1. Apply to be a Visiting Student at the institution where you wish to take the class. 2. Choose the course(s) you want to take. Ensure that your choice is appropriate to your academic

needs. Ensure you have met the prerequisites. 3. Fill out the “Request for Letter of Permission” form. Submit it to the Program Director for the

Program you are taking at CMU. If your request is approved, CMU will: a. Send an official Letter of Permission to the appropriate university or seminary and email a

copy to you. b. Add the approved courses to your CMU transcript.

4. Register for the course(s) at the institution where you are visiting. 5. Confirm with CMU the courses for which you registered and for those you did not. Email Maria

Shokpeka at mshokpeka@cmu.ca to confirm the courses. 6. You are responsible to pay the fees at the university where you are visiting, in accordance with

that institution’s due dates and procedures. 7. After you complete your course(s), request an official transcript from the institution where you

have been visiting to be sent to the Registrar at CMU. When successfully completed, the course will receive a grade of “TR” (transfer). If a transcript is not received one month after the semester ends, a grade of “F” will be recorded until Registrar’s Office receives a transcript with an official grade.

Additional Notes:

• Be aware of application deadlines when you apply at an institution to be a visiting student. • You may register only for the courses listed on your letter of permission. • CMU cannot register you at another institution. The letter of permission allows you to

register for courses; it does not register you in courses. • To withdraw from a course at another university, you must withdraw at that university according to

their procedures. CMU cannot withdraw you from a course at another institution. After you withdraw from courses, inform CMU of the withdrawal.

FINANCING YOUR EDUCATION For more information contact CMU's Financial and Student Services Advisor. Tuition Tax Credits Canadian students that enroll through CMU will pay all fees through CMU, and will receive in February the form T2202A (Tuition, Education, and Textbook Amounts Certificate) that can be used to claim federal and provincial non-refundable tax credits.

• For further information on claiming your Tuition, Education and Textbook amounts please refer to the Canada Revenue Agency website – www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tx/ndvdls/tpcs/ncm-tx/rtrn/cmpltng/ddctns/lns300-350/323/menu-eng.html.

• For assistance on filing your income taxes while a student please refer to this section of the Canada Revenue Agency website – www.cra-arc.gc.ca/E/pub/tg/p105/README.html.

Each province uses different tax rates and the amount of credits you can claim based on your T2202A varies by province; prospective students should check their provincial tax forms to find out what amounts they would be able to claim. Manitoba Tuition Rebate Advance If you are a resident of and file your taxes in Manitoba while you are studying you might be eligible for the tuition rebate advance, which is a refundable credit of up to 5% of eligible tuition paid for the year. For more information visit www.gov.mb.ca/tuition. Government Student Loans Student loan applications open in June for the fall and winter semesters. You must apply to the province of your permanent residence. Go to www.CanLearn.ca and follow the links to

your province. A percentage course load calculation is needed for your student loan application. To calculate the percentage

course load, divide your credit hours for the year by the number of credit hours you need to take each year to complete your degree. It looks like this: % Course Load for a Master of Arts= Credit hours for year/30. Student Loans require that you maintain a minimum of 9 credit hours for full time status in the semester in which the loan is being requested for.

Not from Manitoba? If you are getting your student loan from a province that is not Manitoba, CMU needs to complete a Program Information Form for you. Contact the Financial and Student Services Advisor to have one completed as soon as you apply for your loan.

Do you have an outstanding student loan and will not be applying for one this year? Contact the Financial and Student Services Advisor to complete the necessary forms for provincial and national student loans. If these are not completed, your loans will go into repayment and you will be required to start making payments on them.

You will receive 60% of your loan in the fall semester and then 40% in the winter semester – budget accordingly.

All students receiving a Government Student Loan must provide a copy of their Notice of Assessment to the Financial and Student Services Advisor in September. This is the only way CMU will know that you are expecting a Government Student Loan for the year.

Make sure your contact information, such as permanent address, is kept up to date with your provincial student loan office.

Loans for Full-time Students You must maintain full time status according to Canada Student Loans definition of 9 credit hours in each

semester (not averaging over semesters) in order to obtain and/or to keep your loan in an interest free state. If you are only studying for one semester you still need 9 credit hours in that semester.

Loans for Part-time Students Loans for part-time studies are available but are not interest free.

BTS-5310 Topics – Practices, Rituals, and the Christian Imagination (Dual track, 3.0 credit hours): The most vital and subtle lessons of the Christian faith and life are conveyed in practices, rituals and gestures. From the early church on, Christian practices and rituals have been places of encounter and revelation of God and function as a prism allowing Christians to view the world through a particular lens, providing a new frame for interpreting life and imagining the world. Practices and rituals are formative and powerful because they are embodied theology – they refuse to separate the mind, the heart and the body. This course will explore the nature of Christian practices in general and inquire into the Christian use of rituals in particular. Ancient Christian practices as well as new rituals will be examined and practiced throughout the course. BTS category: Practical Theology. Instructor: Irma Fast Dueck BTS-5530 Topics – Continuity and Change in Anabaptism (Dual track, 3.0 credit hours): This course explores the dynamic and evolving character of Anabaptist identity over a 500-year period.

BTS category: History of Christianity. Instructor: Karl Koop PCD/BTS-5590C Topics - Peace Resources in Islam and Christianity (3.0 credit hours): This is a course on inter-religious dialogue. It is taught by two professors: an Iranian Shia Muslim and a Canadian Mennonite Christian, who have collaborated over 10 years in giving expression to their respective faiths in the presence of scholars for the other religion. This course will examine the rich resources that each faith tradition offers on the important topics of peace and justice, focusing on both the practices and the theological resources that undergird these practices. We will discuss the history of how peace and justice are embodied within our respective communities as well as theological convictions like God, sin, redemption, forgiveness, mercy, war, and so on. The course will include more than a presentation of ideas and beliefs. It will also seek to embody and model interfaith dialogue itself and invite class participants into a respectful process of engagement with difference. The course will bring into the class a small cohort of students (approximately 6-8) from the International Institute for Islamic Studies in Qom, Iran, several local Muslim students, and perhaps students from Hutterite communities in Manitoba.

BTS-5080 Topics – Theology of the Book of Exodus (Dual track, 3.0 credit hours): One could argue that the book of Exodus is the central book of the Old Testament because it depicts God’s primary act of salvation in Israel’s history. This course will use careful exegesis as a springboard for exploring Exodus’ understanding of human enslavement, the nature

20 | P a g e

of salvation, the character of God, the shape of the redeemed life, covenant and obedience, and proper worship. The course will also examine how Exodus themes and theology are utilized in other biblical traditions, especially in telling the story of Jesus. BTS Category: Bible.

Instructor: Gordon Zerbe BTS-5080M Topics – Principles of Biblical Interpretation (Dual track, 3.0 credit hours): Biblical interpretation is both a science and an art. In this course, we will examine the “science” part of biblical hermeneutics. Whereas the process of interpretation cannot be reduced to a series of mechanical steps that will always provide the “right” reading, it is crucial that the student of the Bible master the basics of the discipline. We will therefore study the fundamental components and techniques of biblical exegesis with a special focus on grammar, semantics, genre analysis, biblical theology, and contextualization.

BTS-5820 Contemporary Theological Themes – The Church and the World (Dual track, 3.0 credit hours): Throughout the ages Christians have struggled with the question of the church’s identity and place in the world and created order. In the social realm, some Christian traditions have advocated nonconformity, and have been drawn to the maxim that the church is “in the world but not of it.” With respect to the realm of nature, there is also a long tradition that does not know what to do with the created order except perhaps to dominate it. This course will challenge students to think about a “worldly theology” that in various dimensions is at once biblical, orthodox and radical. BTS Category: Theology. Instructor: Karl Koop

BTS-5830 The Gift: Philosophical and Theological Investigations (Dual track, 3.0 credit hours): Much contemporary philosophical and theological reflection proceeds by examining the category of the gift. The concept of the gift is seen as an alternative to the preoccupation with debt and sacrifice characteristic of certain readings of the atonement.

Consumers benefit from access to necessities as well as increased comfort, convenience and choice. Producers benefit from opportunities to innovate and invest, while also providing employment and generating returns to investors. The question many are asking, however, is simple: Can the current system be sustained in the long run?

Register through the Canadian School of Peacebuilding. Dates: June 12-16, 2017 Instructor: Odelya G. Kraybill PCD-5190C Topics – Practices for Transforming the Peacebuilder (Dual track, 3.0 credit hours): To an unusual degree, those involved in peacebuilding operate in environments that impose high stress on peacebuilders, physically, emotionally and spiritually. This often involves high levels of competition and conflict within and between peacebuilding organizations themselves. Given that little support is provided for meeting these stresses, peacebuilders need to equip

26 | P a g e

themselves with strategies for personal growth and coping with stress. This practical course will explore self-care and personal transformation of peaceworkers as a fundamental requirement of transformation of our world. Major themes will include acknowledging stresses and distractions/temptations common in peacebuilding work; the development of disciplines for sustaining hope and vision; finding grounding in calling, vision, and faith as motivation for peacebuilding; and developing a repertoire of routines for self-care and personal transformation, including physical, mind-body, and spiritual disciplines.

The course will include rigorous critical thinking about law that can support the building of non-colonial relationships among Indigenous peoples and between Indigenous peoples and Canada. All legal traditions, including indigenous legal traditions, are deeply rooted and comprise historically conditioned attitudes about a) the nature of law, b) the role of law in the society c) the proper organization and operation of legal orders, and d) about the ways law is or should be made, applied, studied, perfected, and taught. Indigenous peoples have many intellectual resources, legal and political, that are available to us from our own histories and societies and that are needed for reasoning through today’s complex struggles. It is integrally connected with how we imagine and manage ourselves both collectively and individually. In other words, law and all it entails is a fundamental aspect of being collectively and individually self-determining as peoples. Indigenous law is about building citizenship, responsibility and governance, challenging internal and external oppressions, safety and protection, lands and resources, and external political relations with other Indigenous peoples and the state. Indigenous legal traditions also contain conceptions of human rights, and procedural and substantive rights PCD Category: Peacebuilding and Conflict Resolution.

PCD Category: Peacebuilding and Conflict Resolution. Instructor: Wendy Kroeker PCD-5210 Seminar in Social Change (Dual Track, 3.0 credit hours): In this seminar, students review and compare inter-disciplinary and discipline-based approaches to social change, including issues in peacebuilding and conflict transformation, social and economic development, environmental sustainability, and democratization and social movements.

The course will also consider how these Scriptures and theologies continue to shape contemporary practices and inter-group dynamics today. Instructor: Gordon Zerbe PCD-5610 Development Theory for Practice (Dual-Track, 3.0 credit hours): This seminar takes an interdisciplinary approach to the study of theories that have shaped the conceptualization and practice of development around the world. This includes critical attention to the nature of development theory, the processes through which theory is generated, and the context in which different theories have emerged and in which some became dominant. The seminar focuses on current versions of general development theories such as: modernization, structuralism, Marxism, dependency theory, neoclassical and neoliberal theory, alternative development, and post-development. Examples of current theories that focus on key development issues are also covered. PCD Category: Theory in Peacebuilding and Collaborative Development Instructor: Ruth Rempel PCD-5790 Topics – Conflict and Construction of the ‘Other’ (Dual track, 3.0 credit hours): This seminar addresses a central question raised in post-colonial theory about the way humans construct and maintain an understanding of the Other. We ask the question, "Have scholars found the idea of the Other useful as a synthesizing concept?" This problem-based, interdisciplinary seminar considers particular sites of struggle in cultural, social, and individual contexts. Finally, we

28 | P a g e

ask about the implications of this inquiry for our cultural, social, and individual circumstances. PCD Category: Theory in Peacebuilding and Collaborative Development. Instructor: Jobb Arnold PCD-5990 Topics in Methods Research, Planning, or Evaluation (3.0 credit hours): Examination of principles and procedures for conducting qualitative research in the social sciences. Topics include: the assumptions that inform qualitative research designs; procedures for gathering meaningful data through interviews, observation and textual archives; the analysis of such data; and ethical issues pertaining to the research endeavour. PCD Category: Research in Method, Planning, or Evaluation. PCD-5910 Program Planning in Development and Conflict Resolution (Dual Track, 3.0 credit hours): Program planning is a critical first step in most interventions by development and conflict resolution organizations. This course covers blueprint planning required for preparation of funding proposals and various forms of strategic and participatory planning required for the application of results-based management and learning approaches during program implementation. Current debates regarding approaches to planning are also reviewed. Students acquire skills necessary for conceptualizing and implementing international or domestic projects undertaken by non-governmental organizations: needs assessment, goal and purpose identification, formulation of logframe, work plan and budget, and preparation of a funding proposal. PCD Category: Methods in Research, Planning, or Evaluation. Instructor: Susan Maxson PCD-5920 Program Evaluation in Development and Conflict Resolution (Dual Track, 3.0 credit hours): Evaluating programs is a means of systematically assessing interventions designed to promote development and conflict resolution. This course covers formative evaluations required for program decision-making and summation evaluations applicable for analyzing outcomes and impacts to determine relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, sustainability and potential for replication of programs normally implemented by non-governmental organizations. Current debates in approaches to evaluation are also reviewed. Students acquire skills in: selecting relevant quantitative and qualitative indicators, various approaches to obtain measures for the indicators selected, approaches to analyzing collected data, and effective presentation of evaluation conclusions and recommendations. PCD Category: Methods in Research, Planning, or Evaluation Instructor: Jerry Buckland

BTS/PCD-5700C Topics – Justice and Peace –Ecumenical Horizons (3.0 credit hours): This course will give attention to the themes of Justice and Peace in light of ecumenical dynamics, realities, and possibilities. Lectures, readings, and class discussions will address themes such as the kingdom of God, the cross and its interpretations, justification by grace, and the final judgement. Further subject areas will include issues related to restorative justice and transformative spirituality. PCD Category – Theological and religious encounters with Peace-Justice Dates: June 18-22, 2018 Instructor: Fernando Enns PCD-5390C Financial Empowerment for Development and Peacebuilding (3.0 credit hours): In the rapidly changing world of consumer finance, vulnerable groups are particularly in need of financial empowerment. But how do we make sense of this complicated sector? Why is microcredit praised and payday lending vilified when these credit products share many features? This course examines the community development and peace-building consequences of, and responses to, the rise of growing consumer debt and the proliferation of products such as microcredit loans. This course will be valuable for participants engaged in a variety of sectors, including community development, family mediation, and international development. It will assist in exploring how consumer finance can cause real or perceived harm to citizens that might have gender, class, or identity dimensions. The course will engage social change theory in order to identify and evaluate responses to challenging consumer finance issues through mediation, negotiation, financial literacy education, and the creation of community banks/credit unions. PCD Category – Collaborative and Transformative Development Dates: June 11-15, 2018 Instructor: Jerry Buckland PCD-5190C Topics - Peacebuilding Approaches to Violent Extremism: (3.0 credit hours) This interactive, case study-based course will explore violent extremism (VE) through an ecological peacebuilding lens. Comparing different

29 | P a g e

definitions, geographical expressions, root causes, and responses to VE, the course will provide participants with a conceptual, legal, and practitioner-oriented understanding of VE. Using a systems-based approach, participants will explore the dangers, risks and unintended impacts of interventions to stop violent extremism. In particular, the course will look at the impact of violent extremism and counterterrorism on civil society space and identify the roles of civil society in addressing violent extremism. Participants in the class will practice using planning tools to identify complementary and coordinated programs to respond to violent extremism. PCD Category – Peacebuilding and Conflict Resolution Dates: June 11-15, 2018 Instructor: Lisa Schirch PCD-5190C Arts-based Approaches to Social Change (3.0 credit hours): This course seeks to explores the idea that the ‘arts are powerful’ in peacebuilding from multiple perspectives and hold potential for enhancing our peacebuilding work. How are arts-based efforts creating works of meaning, beauty and imagination while also contributing to the challenges of building peace and justice? Using case studies from indigenous and non-indigenous settings, the interactive course uncovers the strategies as well as underlying theories of change that guide artists and art-based efforts. In this experiential learning process, participants will also engage in skills practice and, more importantly, draw from their learning and experience to propose initiatives relevant to their community or other setting. The course is designed for anyone involved in social change processes which may include training, facilitation of peacebuilding processes, research and advocacy, amongst others. PCD Category – Peacebuilding and Conflict Resolution Dates: June 18-22, 2018 Instructor: Babu Ayindo PCD-5790C Topics - Trauma, Peace-building and Resilience – Level 1 (3.0 credit hours): When individuals, families or communities have been impacted by trauma, there can be ongoing vulnerability, post-traumatic stress as well as opportunities for strength and post-traumatic resilience. This course presents an approach that integrates both the theoretical and practical as it applies to trauma, violence, conflict and peacebuilding. The life experiences of migration, life stage, cultural meaning and world events also contribute to the unfolding of any person’s or community’s story. This five day training provides a collaborative setting for participants to explore their own contexts for supporting others’ healing from trauma. They will gain skills and resources towards interrupting the cycle of violence and trauma, learning key components for supporting movement through the effects of trauma toward transformative growth, resilience and efforts towards sustainable peacebuilding. This training is developed and offered in partnership between the Canadian School of Peacebuilding and the Crisis & Trauma Resource Institute (www.ctrinstitute.com). PCD Category – Peacebuilding and Conflict Resolution Dates: June 18-22, 2018 Instructors: Vicki Enns and Wendy Kroeker PCD-5790C Topics - Who Is My Neighbour? Ethics in a Bordered World (3.0 credit hours): This course is a practical and political inquiry into the ethical significance of borders in a time of apparent contradictions. On the one hand, we hear about resurgent nationalisms, walls, and sharper distinctions between insiders and outsiders. On the other hand, we hear about global economies and cultures, a worldwide web, human rights, and the synchronization of emotion – especially fear – through our screens. What is the ethical significance of borders and the states they demarcate? What do they permit, require, and excuse? How do they construct identities, belongings, responsibilities, and vulnerabilities? Who are “we,” and what do “we” owe “them”? Who is my neighbour, and whose lives should we grieve? The course will consider the ethical questions that lie at the modern tension-point between the claims of citizenship and the claims of a universal humanity. It will also ask how those questions get framed and who gets to ask them. This course invites conversation and self-reflection and seeks to equip its participants to reflect more deeply on the moral horizons and modes of ethical thinking that orient us for living and doing peacebuilding work in complex, challenging times.
