As a general policy, applicants to Waterloo must present an academic background at least equivalent to the admission requirements as specified for Ontario secondary school students. It is important that this background includes courses equivalent to Ontario Grade 12 U and/or M courses or equivalents specific to the various programs that are offered at Waterloo. Minimum requirements also include an overall university average of C (65%) and "good standing"; some programs require a higher average or additional background.
See "Advanced Standing/Transfer Credit" in this chapter for more information. Students are also advised to refer to the Faculty sections in this Calendar.
