Undergraduate Student Relations Committee

This Committee is a forum for communication between representatives of undergraduate student and senior University officers with responsibility for student relations and student life.

They inform campus-wide efforts to implement goals related to student engagement and review and recommend to the Vice-President, Academic and Provost new incidental fees and changes to existing incidental fees assessed to undergraduate students except for fees determined by the Waterloo Undergraduate Student Association (WUSA). These incidental fees are listed in the Undergraduate calendar but some examples include: health insurance, student society fees, student government and voluntary student contributions.

The Committee receives for information and comment proposed changes in tuition and co-op fees and is consulted on policies (Class Z) that are developed, or amended that affect undergraduate students.

There are two alternating Chairs of the Undergraduate Student Relations Committees – the Associate Vice-President, Academic and the President of the Waterloo Undergraduate Student Association.

The Secretary to the Committee is Tim Weber-Kraljevski

This Committee meets monthly and minutes of these meetings are confidential to the Committee.
