The cause of the outage, which began Sunday and required students in residence to be relocated, remains under investigation.
As of 9 a.m. Monday, U of M staff said engineers were working to determine if the electrical failure was internal or a Manitoba Hydro issue.
The university said power should be restored later in the day and expected classes would resume Tuesday.
