Practical circumstances, such as significant budget shortfalls or the unavailability of qualified personnel, may result in restrictions in the choices available to students as compared with those listed herein or in other University publications. The University of Waterloo reserves the right to limit access to programs/plans or courses, and, at its discretion, to withdraw particular programs, plans/sub-plans/options/minors, or courses altogether. In the event that existing resources make it necessary to limit admission to a plan, sub-plan, option, or minor, the admission process will be based on competition for the spaces available.
