When you're evaluated

Gated at the doorinferredanalysis

Decided before you arrive.

You are admitted to Kinesiology and you graduate from Kinesiology. Co-op and regular are two systems of study under the same OUAC code, not a later competitive gate.

No post-admission academic gate is documented anywhere in the data for this program. That is the basis for the classification — not a statement by the university that no gate exists.

You are admitted to the program you will graduate from. There is no second competitive filter on university grades.

Supplementary application

No AIF or supplementary application. Kinesiology is not on Waterloo's list of programs requiring the AIF.
ContradictionSources disagree

The contradiction concerns which other programs use the AIF (Waterloo's AIF page vs OUAC's Waterloo guide); both agree Kinesiology does not.

No AIF, interview or supplementary application

No supplementary application.

Waterloo calculates the admission average using the top six Grade 12 U/M courses, including all required courses (p.124).

Waterloo Kinesiology page (15 Sept 2026): "Six Grade 12 U and/or M courses including — Any 4U English (minimum final grade of 70%) — Advanced Functions or Calculus and Vectors (minimum final grade of 70%) — Any two of Biology, Chemistry, and Physics (minimum final grade of 70%)".

Alternate offer

If an applicant is not admitted to the co-op stream, they may be automatically considered for the regular stream where space is available.
ContradictionSources disagree

The PDF's own advice on p.126 ("should not rely on receiving an automatic alternative offer from Co-op to Regular") is qualified by Waterloo's wording.

  • Enrolment: not published
  • Minimum average: no published cutoff

Where sources disagree

  • Waterloo: which programs require the AIF (Waterloo AIF page vs OUAC guide)

    unresolved

    • University of Waterloo — AIF page

      "All Engineering programs (excluding Architecture)", "All programs in the Faculty of Mathematics", "Computing and Financial Management"; "Conditional Admission to Pharmacy (CAP), Optometry, Pharmacy, and Social Work — Instead of the AIF, you'll complete a series of short supplementary forms."; "Faculties of Arts, Environment, Health, and Science: The Admission Information Form is not used"

    • OUAC — Waterloo guide

      "We require an Admission Information Form (AIF) if you are applying to our Engineering, Mathematics, Science and Aviation, and/or Geography and Aviation programs."

    Both sources agree Kinesiology does not use the AIF.

  • Waterloo Kinesiology: automatic consideration for Regular if not admitted to Co-op

    explained

    • PDF p.117 (reference section)

      If an applicant is not admitted to the co-op stream, they may be automatically considered for the regular stream where space is available.

    • PDF p.126 (advice)

      Applicants interested in both should not rely on receiving an automatic alternative offer from Co-op to Regular.

    • OUInfo WK (Waterloo's text, 16 Sept 2026)

      "If a program is available in both co-op and regular systems of study and you are 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."

    Not a hard conflict: consideration is possible but not guaranteed ("may", "provided spaces are available").
