Trans and Gender Diverse Students' Guide

This resource guide was developed specifically for trans and gender diverse students at The University of Winnipeg. It provides information and resources for navigating aspects of UWinnipeg’s systems and campuses, as well as links to services and supports outside of UWinnipeg that are relevant for trans and gender diverse students. This guide may also serve as a resource for those supporting trans and gender diverse students. 

This guide will continue to be updated to reflect accurate information on our programs, facilities, systems, and services and how they help to meet the needs and priorities of trans and gender diverse students.
