"Under the auspices" of the University of Waterloo

University resources, including services provided by support staff, are to be used for the conduct of University-related activities. Members of the Waterloo community who wish to use University resources or facilities for private business or other purposes must first obtain the written approval from their department head. In seeking this approval, the nature of such purposes must be disclosed and the anticipated University facilities and resources to be used must be identified. Those approving such requests are responsible for ensuring that the University is reimbursed for any direct costs incurred (such as supplies, printing, photocopying). Policy 66 – Use of University resources and affiliation
