Public Health guidance and University of Waterloo operations may have changed. For the most up-to-date information, please visit our COVID-19 frequently asked questions.
This message was originally sent to undergraduate students by the Office of the Registrar.
To help stop the spread of COVID-19, we made the important decision to proceed with Spring Term 2020 with no in-person course activity. This means that we will hold all classes and exams online (with the exception of CLIN and PRA courses).
We want you to have a quality learning experience at Waterloo during these times of unprecedented change. We also want to make sure that you can continue to make progress towards earning your degree.
Your class schedule and your Drop/Add Period appointment time will be available in Quest on April 1.
Revised important dates to note:
In these challenging circumstances, we remain committed to bringing you the quality learning experience you expect from Waterloo. In order to support this commitment, tuition fees will not change.
As some of our student services have been modified or will not be accessible to those located at a distance from our campuses, we are currently reviewing all incidental fees. You should expect to hear about any changes in these fees by Friday, April 3.
Please visit the Student Awards and Financial Aid (SAFA) website for information about available financial aid, processes, and deadlines.
To ease the financial burden on students during the COVID‐19 outbreak, the provincial and federal governments will temporarily defer loan payments and interest accrual for six months for students borrowing through the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP).
These changes will come into effect March 30 and last until Sept. 30.
A few things to note about the Schedule of Classes:
With no in-person course activity this term (with the exception of CLIN and PRA courses), all classes and exams will be online. This may mean that some courses and/or labs will not be available. In light of this, departments and faculties are working on contingency plans to allow students to complete their programs as efficiently as possible.
You are encouraged to contact your academic advisor if you require guidance.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is co-ordinated within the Office of Indigenous Relations.
