The Schedule of Classes is a working document used by University of Waterloo employees to list upcoming class offerings. It is normally finalized about a week or two before the applicable term's Drop/Add Period begins. Until that time, data will fluctuate.
The Schedule of Classes is updated every 30 minutes between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m.
Schedule of Classes Field | Full Title | Description |

Subject | Subject | The subject is the area of study (e.g., ECON or MSCI). See the full course subjects/abbreviations list. |
Catalog # (number) | Catalog number | The three- or four-digit number that identifies a particular course (e.g., AFM 121). It sometimes has one or more letter(s) as a suffix (e.g., FR 192A). |
Units | Units | The credit value associated with a course. Unit weights are used in the calculation of averages for academic standing. Unit weights vary from 0 to 3.0 and most courses have unit weights of 0.5. |

Comp Sec | Component section |

Some example combinations:
|
Assoc. Class | Associated class number | The number assigned to each component (i.e., Primary Component, Related 1, and/or Related 2) that links the components together for selection purposes.
For example, if you choose a primary component with an associated class number of 1, the Related 1 and/or Related 2 components must be chosen from those with the same class association number. Note: An associated class number of 9999 means that any time slot can be chosen. In the above image, for GEOG 181, a student in LEC 001, must choose a LAB from 101 to 106 only (because the Associated Class number is 1). Whereas a student in LEC 002 must choose LAB 107 (because it is the only Associated Class with the number 2). . |
Rel 1 | Related component 1 | The second component of the course. It begins with a "1" in the leading position of the class section number (e.g., LAB 101). |
Rel 2 | Related component 2 | The third component of the course. It begins with a "2" in the leading position of the class section number (e.g., TUT 201). |
