F,W,S Terms: F=September-December; W=January-April; S=May-August
1,2,3,4,5 plus A or B Denotes academic year and term.
WT Minimum number of credited work terms required for graduation (four credited work reports are also required for graduation for all co-op students; an employer evaluation is required for each work term students undertake).
WR  Denotes the minimum number of work-report (WR) credits required for the co-op designation.
PD Denotes the minimum number of professional development (PD) credits required for the co-op designation.
• Denotes number of scheduled work terms per sequence.
off Denotes a term in which students are not registered at the University of Waterloo for classes and are not on a co-op work term.
Ф  Three work-report credits (in addition to PD 20 and 21).
