The University of Waterloo’s admission process involves several key steps. Applicants must first choose a program and review specific admission requirements, which typically include high school transcripts, prerequisite courses, and minimum grade thresholds. Some programs may require supplementary applications, interviews, or portfolios.
Prospective students submit their applications through the Ontario Universities’ Application Centre (OUAC) by the stated deadlines. English language proficiency tests (e.g., IELTS or TOEFL) are mandatory for non-native speakers. After submission, applicants may receive conditional offers based on pending grades. Final admission decisions are made once all documents are verified.
