Degree Requirements
IMPORTANT NOTE:Students must normally fulfilthe degree requirements described in the undergraduatecalendar that isin effect at the time that they started the program.Most students in the class of 2020need to fulfilthe SE degree requirements described in the 2015-2016calendar. The defaults to the most recent one, but you can select a different yearin the top left of the webpage.The SE director has given students in your class the option to choose to satisfy the SE degree requirements in the.Note that you mustmeet all of the requirements of whichever calendar you choose.The main differences between the 2016-2017 calendar and the 2015-2016calendar are:
- ATE lists “tightened up” i.e. more restrictive lists
- 1 ATE converted to an open elective
- 1 list C LE converted to an open elective
- PD10 becomes mandatory
- the communication LE list changed slightly
If you wish to opt for the new (2016-2017) calendar, email se-advisor@uwaterloo.caand ask them to update your calendar year onseadvisor.uwaterloo.ca.

- There are eleven electives. As detailed above, these electives must include four advanced technical electives, two science electives, and four linkage electives. For their remaining elective, students may choose to take any of an additional advanced technical elective, an additional science elective, any course from the complementary studies electives lists, a foreign-language linguistics or grammar course, BUS 111W, BUS 121W (see ), , or any other course approved by the SE Program Advisor. Advanced Technical Electives may not be taken before the 3A term; 400-level Advanced Technical Electives may not be taken before the 3B term.
- Students enrolled in Software Engineering will only be permitted to use the WD and WF (see for descriptions) provisions used in the Faculty of Mathematics to withdraw from extra courses taken above and beyond the degree requirements.
- Foreign-language courses must be approved by the SE advisor.
- With the permission of the Program Advisor, may be swapped with a 3A or 3B technical elective if required as a prerequisite for an ATE.
