As a general policy, applicants to the University of 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. Applicants from college who have not completed a high school diploma and the required Ontario Grade 12 U and/or M courses or equivalents should contact admissions.
Applicants from college 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 college transfer policies. Each college attended will be verified for acceptable accreditation.
