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 universities 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 university transfer policies.
