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 (university) and/or M (university/college) courses. Applicants from Quebec Collèges d'enseignement général et professionnel (CEGEPs) can review our specific program requirements and the CEGEP course equivalencies.
Applicants from CEGEPs who have met the minimum admission requirements for programs at Waterloo will be assessed for admission and possible transfer credit on an individual basis according to the faculty-specific CEGEP policies.
