The first option should be “Submit to MSpace.” Clicking that will bring you to a page that asks you to choose a sign on method. Choose the first option that reads “click here to enter your UofM Email ID and Password.”
You should now be on the MSpace sign on page. Enter your UM email and password. Students and staff have specific email id formats. Students, enter in the format umnetid@myumanitoba.ca. Staff, enter in the format firstname.lastname@umanitoba.ca
After you log in, you should see a choice of submissions, one for a thesis/practicum and one for a research publication. Choose the second option.

Your document has to be a supported format, which are listed by clicking “click here for MSpace supported file formats.” The file must not be password protected or it won’t be ful text indexed and processed. You have the options to describe the file, and to set an embargo date, or a date from which access is allowed, along with an optional reason for an embargo.
Clicking Next will give you a page where you can review your metadata and correct any errors. Once you’ve completed everything to your satisfaction, you can click Next and read the distribution licence.
Read through the terms and, if you agree with them, check the box beside “I Grant the License” and then click the box that reads “Complete Submission.”
