Accredited educational providers:

Any student in a Canadian University degree granting program (Commerce, Law, Science…etc) qualifies for the student PMI membership rate.

Specific to the Project Management programs in Manitoba:

• The Red River College certificate program does qualify for the student PMI membership rate.
• The University of Winnipeg full-time Project Management Diploma program does qualify for the student PMI membership rate. The University of Winnipeg Masters Certificate in Project Management part-time program does not qualify.

Please note: Occasionally, students enrolled in the Project Management Programs in Manitoba who are attempting to register for a student membership run into a temporary road-block with PMI Global. Students who have applied online and are audited may be advised by PMI Global that the Red River College certificate program and UofW fulltime diploma program do not qualify for the student rate. This degree vs. certificate terminology from USA to Canada sometimes causes confusion at the PMI Global level & this issue comes up from time to time. Should this happen:

• Red River College students should print their student membership application and regular mail it to PMI Global along with a letter from Kirk Johnson, the Red River College Program Officer. To obtain this letter, please contact Kirk Johnson. Alternatively, should a student decide to apply from the onset via regular mail rather than online, by incorporating the letter from Kirk Johnson into their membership application, they will not have any issues should their application be audited.
• University of Winnipeg full-time Diploma program students should print their student membership application and regular mail it to PMI Global along with a confirmation letter from the university stating that they are enrolled in the Project Management Diploma program. Alternatively, should a student decide to apply from the onset via regular mail rather than online, by incorporating the letter from the University into their membership application, they will not have any issues should their application be audited. For the letter, please contact Colleen Little, Program Coordinator, Full-time Programs.
