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 level) and/or M (university/college level) courses. Find out more about program-specific requirements for Quebec Collèges d'enseignement général et professionnel (CEGEPs).
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 transfer policies.
