Alternative Offers of Admission If you are not admitted to the program you applied to, you may be automatically considered for admission to an alternative program, provided you meet the minimum admission requirements and spaces are available. If a program is available in both co-op and regular systems of study and you're not admitted to the co-op version, you may be automatically considered for either the corresponding regular program or another related program, provided spaces are available. If you're interested in both the co-op and regular systems of study for Health Sciences , we recommend that you apply to both streams. Timing of Admission Decisions Offers of admission are made on a rolling basis between December and May as we receive updated grades from schools. The date you may receive an offer of admission depends on the program you applied to, the grades we have received, your grade average and any special entrance requirements (such as video interviews, Admission Information Form and portfolios for some programs). The Faculties of Engineering and Mathematics, as well as the Accounting and Financial Management and Sustainability and Financial Management, make admission decisions beginning in February and ending in May. We want to consider all students fairly, so we may wait for updated grades from schools before making many of our admission decisions. Most scholarships and bursaries are awarded in May once we receive updated grades from schools. Applying You can apply to a maximum of 3 programs at Waterloo, including 1 Engineering program. Applying to Engineering programs You may apply to 1 Waterloo Engineering program on your application. If you are not admitted to the Engineering program you applied to, you may be considered for admission to another Engineering program. Using a supplementary information form, you can request consideration for admission to an alternative Engineering program. You will receive instructions for completing this form once you have applied. Biomedical Engineering and Software Engineering are not available as alternative choices, so you will need to apply to Biomedical or Software Engineering directly if either program is your main interest.
