It is an applicant’s responsibility to ensure that all application information is truthful, complete, and correct. All documentation in support of an application for admission or readmission will be verified for authenticity. If evidence of falsified information and/or omission is found in the submission of an application for admission or readmission, the University of Waterloo reserves the right to deny admission, revoke any offer of admission (conditional or final), residence, and/or financial support. Previous submission of falsified or fraudulent documentation may be considered in future applications made to Waterloo.
Students are required to produce documentation verifying their identity to obtain their student identification. Should evidence of admissions fraud be discovered after registration, students are subject to Policy 71 (Student Discipline), and the penalty may be expulsion.
We may disclose evidence of any misrepresentation, fraudulent or falsified documentation to all Canadian universities, to Citizenship and Immigration Canada, and to law enforcement personnel when appropriate.
The University of Waterloo may verify your letter of acceptance (LOA) for Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and may provide information about you if necessary to support the integrity of the study permit application process. By applying for a study permit to attend the University of Waterloo, you authorize the University to validate information about you and your LOA with the IRCC.
