Staff professional development & education opportunities

STAFF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT & EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES

Whether you are interested in taking professional development or non-credit courses, taking the leap into post-secondary education for the first time, or you’re interested in continuing your university or college education at Waterloo, the whole process can be daunting. We’re here to help clarify and support your decisions to educate yourself through explanations of policy and procedures around admissions, as well as some personal insights relating our own experiences as former and current students at Waterloo.

This session is geared towards staff members who would like to pursue professional development courses, an undergraduate degree, or undergraduate courses at the University of Waterloo. The Faculty of Arts has unique policies regarding staff pursuits of undergraduate education, with a special focus on mature students. Staff who have never taken post-secondary education as well as those who are desiring to continue their education at Waterloo are both welcome.

This session will be have three small presentations by staff in the Registrar’s Office (admissions), Human Resources (benefits), and the Centre for Extended Learning (online learning). Topics which will be outlined include admission requirements, part-time and online courses/programs that are offered, transfer credit policy, study advice, how to apply, deadlines, costs, eligibility for tuition benefit, open courseware, open enrolment, and other useful information. Questions throughout and at the end of the session are encouraged!

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 co-ordinated within our Office of Indigenous Relations
