Each year, nominees for the Alumni Gold Medal who are considered, but who are not selected to receive a medal will be awarded the designation as a “University Finalist for the Alumni Gold Medal”. Recipients will be selected by the Advisory Committee on Graduate Scholarships and Awards and the Associate Vice-President, Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs and will receive a certificate.
In 2018, the Outstanding Achievement in Graduate Studies Designation was renamed and made into two separate designations: University Finalist for the Governor General's Gold Medal and University Finalist for the Alumni Gold Medal.
This is a special designation in lieu of a medal.

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.
