The deadline to defer your offer to fall 2024 has now passed. If you are unable to arrive on campus due to visa/study permit delays and would like individual consideration for a late deferral, please email myapplication@uwaterloo.ca with proof of your visa application delay. We will only allow late requests up to September 15, 2023.
Do not submit a deferral form unless you are absolutely sure you will not be joining us for the fall 2023 term.
Deferrals will be approved as quickly as possible as long as all grades have been received and conditions have been met.
If your OSAP or government financial aid from your home province has been issued to the University of Waterloo, some or all of the credit balance on your student account may need to be repaid to the National Student Loan Service Centre (NSLSC).
Any funding that was sent to you should be repaid to the NSLSC. For assistance with this process please contact Student Awards and Financial Aid.
Bachelor of Social Work (BSW): The School of Social Work may, under very exceptional circumstances, consider deferring an Offer of Admission for the BSW program to a future entry point. For further information, contact renison.socialwork@uwaterloo.ca.

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 our Office of Indigenous Relations.
