As a general policy, applicants to Waterloo must present an academic background at least equivalent to the admission requirements specified for Ontario secondary school students. It is important that this background includes courses equivalent to the required Ontario Grade 12 U and/or M courses.
The minimum requirement for admission consideration is an overall university average of C (65%); however, many programs require higher averages or additional academic background.
See "Advanced Standing/Transfer Credit" in the Admissions section of the Undergraduate Calendar for more information. Students are also advised to refer to the Faculty sections in this Calendar.
