Academic advisors
Students in Science and Business programs are supported by a team of advisors:
- Students in their first year should contact their coach, Luke Balch
- Upper-year students with questions about the following topics should contact scbus.advisor@uwaterloo.ca and the email will be answered between Luke Balch, Lori Labelle, and Stephen Woods in the Science Undergraduate Office:
- International exchanges
- Letters of permission
- Requests to change system (regular to co-op; co-op to regular)
- Work/study sequence
- Plan modifications and advising between specializations and programs
- Course enrolment and override form submission questions can be directed to science.advisor@uwaterloo.ca
Use your @uwaterloo email account and include your 8-digit student ID number and term of study. Please don’t send multiple emails on the same subject or from using your personal email addresses, as it will delay our response to you. If your question needs to be addressed by a different person, we will refer accordingly.
