Slightly useful for co-op information at the start of the semester. No need to attend if you know what's going on.

Failed Transfer Into Mechanical 1B 1 point, 6 comments
“I applied for a transfer after my 1A term (engineering) to mechanical engineering for 1B. Unfortunately they denied me before the marks even came out and when I emailed them back to ask for more …”
u/patricklam: “They are most likely to be full. If you look on the schedule of courses (http://www.adm.uwaterloo.ca/infocour/CIR/SA/under.html) for ME 100B, you'll see that it has cap of 125 and 129 students enrolled. Hence they're unlikely to be taking any transfer students.”

“Is there really seven courses?”
u/UWacademicAdvisor: “ME 100B is a Seminar Course worth 0 units. As MONOTONY said, there's really only six. You can click on the course names in the Undergraduate Calendar and it will take you to information about the course.”
