Important dates for graduate students

Spring 2027 term dates; not all dates may be used.

Dates reserved to hold final examinations in the event the University is closed during the spring 2027 Final Examination Period: Examinations will be rescheduled on the next available day, including Sunday, on which examinations have not been scheduled.

Registered students can view their unofficial term grades in Quest. Note: Not all grades will be available on this date; instructors submit grades until the grades due deadline published in the Undergraduate Studies Academic Calendar. 

Each term, the Office of the Registrar provides instructors with several dates and times during the Final Examination Period, or shortly thereafter, at which they can register a student to write their deferred final examination. The registration process to attend will only occur after the student and the instructor have mutually agreed on the date and time. Any student who arrives to a make-up final examination session who is not registered to write at that session will not be permitted to write and will be directed to contact their instructor. Final examination make-up sessions are only available at the University of Waterloo campus
