Readmission and Program Plan Change

Waterloo undergraduate students in satisfactory standing who were previously registered and wish to resume their studies in the same program/plan must apply for readmission if they have been absent for a number of terms (e.g., Arts - 3 consecutive terms; Math - 5 consecutive terms; Science - 3 consecutive terms) or are returning after having been required to withdraw. Please see the Undergraduate Calendar for individual faculty rules.

Students with satisfactory standing who are currently enrolled at Waterloo and want to request a program/plan change, must submit a Plan Modification/Application for Internal Transfer form (Enrolment section of the Registrar's Office Forms site).

The following information will help guide you through the readmission process: submitting the Application for Undergraduate Readmission form with an indication of class selection and arranging for any required documentation, if applicable.
