The Student Success Office is opening a call to student support units to participate in a new event for student-facing employees, such as academic advisors, program coordinators, immigration consultants and others who work directly with current students. As campus returns to primarily in-person learning for the first fall term since 2019, staff and faculty are working hard to re-orient students to our campus.

“As the fall term fast approaches, we eagerly await the arrival of the class of 2022," wrote Chris Read, associate provost, students in a memo circulated to faculty and staff on August 2, 2022. “Soon, new students will move into on-campus housing and make Waterloo their new home, and we'll see the return of in-person Orientation events. I invite you to join me, and many others in volunteering to welcome our newest Warriors and their supporters to the University of Waterloo.” 

As students continue their transition back to in-person learning and on-campus experiences for the spring 2022 term, the Student Success Office (SSO) will offer a variety of services and resources in a hybrid model to best meet their needs.

The Advising Community of Practice has extended the call for proposal deadline for the 2022 Advisor Conference: Riding the Wave of Change.

For many new and upper year students, February 7 will be the first time they step foot on Waterloo’s main campus. To provide support and a warm welcome, the Student Success Office is relaunching the Here to Help campaign and will offer wayfinding events during the weeks of February 7 and February 28.

The Advising Community of Practice invites you to submit a proposal to present at the 2022 Advisor Conference, scheduled virtually for April 27 and 28.

Waterloo Ready is the University's undergraduate transition program. Created in 2020 as a response to support the incoming fall cohort as they prepared for their first term to take place online, Waterloo Ready continues to be the primary pre-arrival transition program for new undergraduate students at the University of Waterloo.

The 2021 Waterloo Ready report provides details about the program's participation numbers, survey results and facts and figures.

The Student Success Office (SSO) will begin the winter 2022 term offering a variety of services and resources remotely. Students can connect with us online through our Live Chat Monday to Friday 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. and 1 – 4 p.m.
