When a student’s academic career at the University of Waterloo has ended without degree completion, the student may in some cases seek to be re-admitted to the University. Normally, at the time of conclusion of the student’s previous academic enrollment at the Univesity, the student will be informed of their eligibility to apply for re-admission to their current Faculty.

The University reserves the right to refuse admission to any candidate and to refuse re-admission if, in the opinion of the Faculty Graduate Committee, the student's previous progress has not been satisfactory.

Students who reapply to a program and are approved for re-admission for the purpose of degree completion will be required to register for a minimum of one full term, without tuition refund.
