Promissory Note for Winter 2012
This form can be submitted electronically beginning November 21, 2011 until midnight January 31, 2012. After that, you can complete the form itself online, then print it, attach your proof documents and submit it at one of the dropboxes outside our office, or by expressmail.

You can pick up a Fall 2011 Promissory Note at the Student Accounts office if you still need to become Fees Arranged for the Fall 2011 term.

Undergraduate Petition to Registrar to Register Late
Undergraduate students need to submit this form if you are registering after October 31 for the Fall term, after January 31 for the Winter term or after June 30 for the Spring term . You'll also need to attach a certified cheque, money order, bank draft or proof of a bank payment, &/or a completed Promissory Note with proof of financial aid to fully cover the balance outstanding on your student account for the term for which you wish to register.

"Do I really need to submit a Promissory Note?"

We need to know how you're covering your fees for the term. Once we know how you're paying your fees, your registered status at the top of your student account details page for the term on Quest will say "Fees Arranged."

You can do this by paying your fees in full. If you pay your fees in full by the due date, you don't need to submit a Promissory Note. All the financial aid you're eligible for that term will still be available to you.

BUT,

if you want to use--

uWaterloo scholarships,
uWaterloo bursaries,
external scholarships, awards or bursaries payable to University of Waterloo,
provincial or Canadian government student loans,
GRS, TA, RA,
Tuition Benefit,
Senior's Bursary,
Third Party sponsorship

--so that you don't have to pay in full right at the due date, you have to let us know by submitting a Promissory Note.

Since financial aid isn't available to you until after the start of term, the Promissory Note lets you just pay any “remaining balance” calculated on the Promissory Note by the due date. A balance will then remain on your student account after the due date, representing the amount of financial aid you claimed on the Promissory Note.

The Promissory Note is a commitment from you that if any of the funding you've claimed on the form is no longer available to you after the start of term (for any reason) you accept responsibility for paying your fees from your personal resources.
