Course planning

Curious about your future courses and co-ops in your academics? Thinking of making a change to your normal sequence of studies by adding a minor, international exchange, or co-op opportunity? Our course planning resources can help you to map out your studies and help you realize opportunities to explore.

Select the year of the undergraduate studies academic calendar that you are following and discover the resources under each calendar to help you plan your courses and sequence: 

  1. Recommended sequence of courses
  2. Pre-requisite sequence of courses
  3. Limited-term course offerings

Which academic calendar should I follow?

Unless you are choosing to a follow a specific calendar, it is recommended that you use the calendar for the year that you began your studies in Computing and Financial Management (CFM). For example, if you began your studies in 2024, refer to the 2024-2025 calendar. All of your requirements can be found in the Undergraduate Studies Academic Calendar.

In choosing a calendar, it is important to note that...

  • You may choose to follow any undergraduate calendar issued during your studies starting from the year that you began at UWaterloo.
  • You are required to meet ALL of the conditions and requirements of ONE calendar, including any new academic policies. You may not pick and choose requirements from different calendars. 
  • The calendar changes each year and defaults to the newest version of the calendar. Make sure to navigate to your calendar in the Undergraduate Studies Academic Calendar under "Archives" (at the top of the page).
