This website is moving to a new version of The Centre website on August 27 and forms will be temporarily closed August 23-27. Learn more.
You can request a deferral from the fall 2024 term to the fall 2025 (September) term for all programs.
Winter deferrals (beginning in January) are possible for a limited number of programs. If you do not see your program offered in the winter deferral drop-down list, we are unable to accommodate this request.
If the program you have been admitted to allows for a winter deferral and you are interested in a January start. We highly suggest you contact your academic advisor to discuss the possible sequencing of courses and what this will mean for you before submitting the form.
Do not submit a deferral form unless you are absolutely sure you will not be joining us for the fall 2024 term.
Deferrals will be approved as quickly as possible as long as all grades have been received and conditions have been met.
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.
Email myapplication@uwaterloo.ca if you have questions about completing this form.
Information and privacy: questions regarding the collection of information on this form can be directed to the form administrator.

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.
