CMU aims to create events that are welcoming, accommodating, and supportive of diverse accessibility needs. Where possible, CMU Admissions will provide accommodations or alternative programming to support attendee participation in Discover Day events. Please request accommodations through the Discover Day registration form or contact Emily (Admissions Events Coordinator) for more information.

A few notes about Discover Day:

• Discover Day is hosted across campus in a variety of locations and may require participants to walk from one building to the next,
  • Outdoor pathways are paved and all buildings have first-floor accessible entrances or ramp access.
  • Elevators and wheelchair lifts are available in both the Assiniboine Castle and South Hall buildings where stairs are present.
  • Alternate programming may be provided for attendees unable to walk or stand for long periods of time.
• There are accessible and gender-neutral washrooms on the first-floor of both the Assiniboine Castle and South Hall buildings.
• Full-day participants will experience lunch in our residence dining hall, while CMU Food Services takes food allergies seriously and makes efforts to accommodate when possible, our dining hall is not allergen free.

Discover Weekend was designed for our out of city/province guests in mind! You might want to consider Discover Weekend if:

• You are a current high school student (or under 19 years of age).
• You live far away.
• You are interested in living on campus and want to know what it's like.
• You want to spend some time in Winnipeg.

While we welcome supporters (parents, guardians, siblings) at this event, we encourage prospective students to attend by themselves or with a friend to give them the most authentic residence experience.
