About to graduate
Congratulations! You are about to join a prestigious network of more than 140,000 Waterloo alumni.
This checklist is based on Destination Graduation, an information session formerly offered by the Student Life Office. It is designed to provide you with resources and information to help navigate the graduation process.
General academic requirements:
1. Verify your degree requirements.
2. Check your unofficial transcript on Quest after May 22, 2012 to ensure you have been recommended to graduate in the “Degrees Awarded” section.
Student accounts:
3. Clear any outstanding fees on your student account, including parking and library fines by May 1, 2012. Your diploma and transcript will be withheld if you have any outstanding fees.
4. Update your mailing, home address and email addresses on Quest to ensure you receive your convocation invitation and information regarding tax receipts. Note: Alumni have access to Quest indefinitely to generate statements of account and access tax receipts.
Repaying OSAP:
5. If you have received OSAP during your studies, you are responsible for beginning to repay your loan six months after you have stopped being a full-time post-secondary student. You are also responsible for contacting the National Student Loans Service Centre and/or financial institution for repayment arrangements.
