An application, or Animal Use Protocol (AUP), must be completed by researchers or instructors who plan to use live non-human vertebrate animals in research or teaching projects. The Animal Care Committee (ACC) reviews and approves all AUPs before the study begins.
Please keep in mind the ACC meeting dates and submission deadlines when planning your study.
If you have any questions regarding this process, please email oreaupp@uwaterloo.ca for assistance.
