To be in satisfactory standing, a non-degree student must maintain a minimum cumulative overall average of 60% and a minimum cumulative Faculty of Arts average of 65%.
Even while otherwise in satisfactory standing, a student who fails two or more academic course units within the first five academic course units or fewer may be required to withdraw if the Arts Examinations and Standings Committee considers that the student will not profit by further study.
Non-degree students may take no more than ten academic course units at the University of Waterloo without permission of the Arts Examinations and Standings Committee.
Non-Degree Conditional
Students admitted on a non-degree conditional basis must achieve an average of 65% or above in their first four Arts courses to be considered for admission to degree studies.
