Instructions for transfer students

Transferring from another institution

If you’re transferring to the University of Waterloo from another university, you may need to change the fall-term schedule that has been prearranged for you depending on the transfer credits you are awarded. Contact one of your academic advisors for assistance with choosing your courses and updating your fall schedule.

Potential transfer credits are only assessed after accepting your offer of admission. Please monitor your email account for additional details regarding this process.
