Applying for readmission

If you’ve been away from your Engineering program and would like to return, you can apply for readmission. You’ll want to contact your academic advisor to discuss the process and timing. Once you’re ready, complete the online readmission form for the term you are applying for. 

  • If you had a promoted academic standing or failed required to repeat, and have been absent from studies, you will need to complete an application for readmission to return to studies
  • If you were required to withdraw from Engineering, you must complete an application for readmission. You must include a current resume, a list of any institutions you have attended since you were last at Waterloo and a letter outlining:

    • What caused you to receive an unfavourable academic decision,

    • What have you done to address those problems mentioned above,

    • What is your plan to avoid a repeat of the previous circumstances, and

    • Why are you sure that this time you will succeed.
