There are one or two study days each term, between the end of the Formal Lecture Period and the beginning of the Final Examination Period. No classes are to be held during study days, except where classes are rescheduled as the result of a campus-wide emergency closure.

Last day to drop a class and receive a WF (Withdrew/Failure, no credit granted, value 32) grade. To drop a class after this date, a petition (Policy 70) is required to request permission to drop the class.

The Final Examination Period begins on the first date listed, and ends with an emergency day. Students are expected to be available to write their final examination(s) for the entirety of the Final Examination Period, including the scheduled emergency days.

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
