Resources for returning to campus

Update for employees

The University’s Return to Campus group continues to review proposals to manage more employees returning to campus. As these plans progress and fall term approaches, we look forward to welcoming more employees and students back to our campuses.

As we navigate the changing realities of education and research during a global pandemic, the health and safety of our students and employees continues to be our primary focus. Teams across the University have been working diligently to prepare for a safe and gradual return, informed by public health advice and best practices.

Reducing student incidental fees for fall 2020

Update for employees

We know that COVID-19 continues to have a significant effect on our students’ University experience. We want students to know that we are doing everything we can to give them the support they need to keep studying towards their degrees. 

Recognizing that we have changed some of our student services and that some are not accessible to students studying at a distance from our campuses, leaders from the Waterloo Undergraduate Student Association (WUSA), the Graduate Students Association (GSA) and the University have again reviewed all incidental fees.
