The Foundation Term is to assist students in continuing their studies at Waterloo with more success.
Ways to enter the Foundation Term:
- Students who are given a failed academic standing at the end of their first or second term of study who apply for re-admission may first complete the Foundation Term or sit out two consecutive terms as a condition of re-admission.
- Students who receive a Conditional academic standing at the end of their first or second term of study may, in consultation with their academic advisors, choose to enroll voluntarily in the Foundation Term.
- Students whose academic advisors feel they would benefit from the Foundation Term may choose to enroll voluntarily.
- Normally, students in 2A or above who receive their first Failed academic standing decision may apply for re-admission to the University of Waterloo after an absence of two consecutive terms (eight months).
