Engineering non-degree is a temporary status that allows students to enrol in an academic term for the purpose of facilitating a transfer or retaking 1A courses prior to repeating 1B.
You can arrange for a non-degree term by completing a Plan modification/Internal Transfer form.
Transfer students must have the advisor from the program of interest sign the second page of the Plan modification/Internal Transfer form indicating their approval of the course selection.
The advisor from the program of interest may have to override specific courses listed in the table to allow enrolment in restricted courses. Approval can be given directly on the Plan modification/Internal Transfer form, via an email of approval, or through the completion of a Course Override.
Contact the academic advisor of the program of interest to discuss their transfer options and the program's transfer procedures.
Students should first attempt to make the change on Quest. If the Quest system does not permit the student to make the change, then they should review the Course Enrollment page and contact the SE advisor for assistance.
The deadline for a non-degree term is two weeks prior to the start of term. Stream-8 students requesting a voluntary strengthening term are asked to submit the form on their first day back in January.
Students are permitted to take one non-degree term, however on occasion a second may be required for transitional purposes only.
Students wanting to voluntarily strengthen their 1A background and/or clear 1A failures can enrol in a non-degree term provided they take at least one 1A engineering course or equivalent. Students can take non-engineering electives for a total of three courses. (Students enrolling in a voluntary strengthening term prior to a QPR term must score 50% or greater in each course. Scores below 50% will disqualify students from QPR).

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Office of Indigenous Relations.
