June 1, 2026 is the last day to accept your offer and begin studies in Fall (September) 2026.

Submit the First-Year Guarantee Residence application and non-refundable deposit by June 8, 2026 at 11:59pm EDT. All students who submit this application along with the deposit by the June 8 deadline are guaranteed a spot in residence in first year. The application is the first step in the housing application process for the University of Waterloo.

Attend a course selection webinar in mid-June 2026 to answer some of your pressing questions. An email with a registration link will be sent in early June to all students who have accepted their offers to Math for Fall 2025. 

On June 17, 2026 at 9:00am EDT you will need to select your courses for Fall 2026 and choose which co-op sequence you wish to have (if applicable). Choosing your co-op sequence is first-come-first-served, but course selection is not (you just need to complete it by the deadline!) Further details will be shared by email closer to the date. 

June 22, 2026 at 4:30pm EDTis the deadline for the course and co-op sequence selection for Fall 2026. Further details will be shared through email closer to the date. 

If you miss this deadline, you will be able to add courses yourself during the drop/add period from July 23 to July 28, 2026. It may be quite difficult to find classes with space, so please be mindful of these deadlines.

You can make changes to your schedule and electives in Quest during your appointment time between July 23 to July 28. Your appointment time is when adding/swapping/dropping courses can be done in Quest. For example, if your appointment time is 9:00am on July 24 then you will be blocked from any enrolment activity in Quest until that time. If you miss your appointment time, do not worry as courses can be added, including swapping to a different section of the same course, until 11:59pm on the last day to add a class.

You need to be 'fees arranged' for your Fall 2025 tuition fees by August 25, 2026. Late fees will begin on August 26, 2026. If you have questions about your tuition fees then contact the Student Centre at askthecentre@uwaterloo.ca

September 9, 2026 is the first day of class for Fall 2026.

September 22, 2026 is the last day for all students to add classes to their schedule and/orswap to a different section of the same class.
