Availability and access to content is our priority. Everyone who visits a WCMS site should be able to consume as much as their browser is able to support.
The WCMS uses a graded browser support approach. Graded browser support allows us to focus on site content and use progressive enhancement to allow most browsers to improve the user’s website experience. With this approach, different web browsers receive different levels of support.
We call the group of browsers that we primarily support our “A-grade” browsers. If you use any of these browsers you should be able to reliably use and experience our WCMS websites.
If your browser does not fall into this category, you can consult the following table (or read the full browser support document (PDF)) to see the level of support available for your browser.
While we encourage the use of modern, reliable, safe browsers, we understand that some circumstances may not allow it. If you are in this situation, feel free to contact us. However, as outlined in the browser support document, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to address your challenge.

There are two lists of browsers, A-Grade browsers and B-Grade browsers; "Other browsers" refers to any browser or version not on either list.
The WCMS administrative interface, used by content authors, editors, and site managers, is supported only on A-Grade versions of Firefox and Chrome.

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.
