Men's Rugby Admissions Process

New Students
Applying to University of Waterloo

If you are thinking of applying to the University of Waterloo, and are interested in the Warriors Men's Rugby Program, you should start by contacting Head Coach, Graham Stickler at uwmrugby@uwaterloo.ca as soon as you can.

Please send details of your rugby background, any rugby references, and ideally some video footage of selected highlights of you playing. If you already know the Course and/or Faculty you wish to apply to that will help also, along with your High School Grades.

If you have strong Rugby credentials, then the Men's Rugby Program will not only support and recommend your Application to the University but can also provide assistance from the Athletics Department to help you with all aspects of your Application and Admission from that point forward.  We will talk to your chosen Faculty and determine your academic suitability, help arrange tours, organizefor you to speak to students and staff (including current Rugby players) and generally assist you with all aspects of your Admission.

The University looks favourably on any application supported through the Athletics Department, provided the academic criteria for the chosen course is satisfied. Admissions deadline is normally around the end of January.  Offers may begin to appear a month or so after this, depending on the Faculty. 
 
Bursaries and Scholarships

Entrance Bursaries are available through the University for academic excellence, and if your grades are exceptional, we can assist you in applying for these.

In addition, Rugby Scholarships are available for candidates with a high-quality rugby pedigree.  These can be discussed between the candidate and the Head Coach once an offer has been received from the University.  For more details, please talk to the Head Coach.
 
Existing Students

Tryouts
We are always open for new players to help grow the depth and quality of our Program.  We encourage any existing student athlete to try out for, and join, the Program at any time, and to do so they need only to complete a partial registration.  Prior to training, a waiver and medical questionnaire need to be completed. This needs to be done a minimum of 3 days before attending practice.
 
Please contact the Head Coach for more information.
