Important dates for undergraduate students

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

Specified enrolment reserves - used to save seats for students in certain programs during theearly stages of the Drop/Add Period - on most classes will be removed on this date, opening remaining seats in classes to all students. See the Schedule of Classes for the updated remaining spaces.

Any reserves not removed from undergraduate courses will be listed on The Centre website after this date.

Students can view their official and complete term grades, along with their academic standing decision, in Quest.
