The University of Waterloo’s Undergraduate Calendar should be your go-to resource for most academic matters as it contains a wealth of information outlining courses, degrees, programs, and course requirements and regulations. Often times, many of your questions can be answered by referring to the undergraduate calendar.

The Registrar's Office also publishes a list of important dates every term including various deadlines and university holidays making it a great resource for students to check periodically.
