Updates to the Graduate Studies Academic Calendar
As of April 2, 2024, the Graduate Studies Academic Calendar has a new look and feel. A new software system is being used to publish the academic calendar, resulting in a few key changes.
New website link (URL)
-
Old Calendar URL: https://uwaterloo.ca/graduate-studies-academic-calendar/
-
New Calendar URL: https://uwaterloo.ca/academic-calendar/graduate-studies/catalog#/home
-
Redirects have been added so that any old Calendar links will continue to take you to the content, but you will want to update any bookmarks you might have saved.
New navigation and look/feel
-
Content is grouped by programs, courses as well as regulations
-
All archived Calendars are available on the archives section of the Calendar website
-
Content is displayed within the shell of the WCMS 3.0 look/feel; the navigation remains on the left-hand side as it did in the previous Calendar and content is displayed in the most intuitive way possible.
Search
Overall search will search all content at once, no longer excluding courses, and the three main areas (Programs & Plans, Courses, Regulations) have additional searching and/or filtering options.
The spring 2024 version of the Calendar is effective May 1, 2024 - August 31, 2024. You're encouraged to review the updated version of the Calendar for course listings and regulations, but continue to follow the requirements for your academic program in the Calendar of the term you're currently following. As a reminder, students follow the program requirements listed in the Calendar of the term they began their degree. The list of archived Calendars is available in the archives section of the Calendar website.
