Questions about University of Waterloo's breaks
Does University of Waterloo have a fall break?
Yes. Fall Reading Week runs from Saturday, October 10, 2026 to Sunday, October 18, 2026 (9 days, including both weekends).
How these dates are counted
- Each range covers every day with no classes: from the day after the last class or final exam to the day before classes start again.
- Each range includes the weekends on both sides of the break.
- Single holidays like Labor Day aren't listed unless the school calls them a break. Short breaks of 1 to 4 days are usually long weekends.
- We use class and exam dates, not residence-hall move-out or office-closure dates.
