ReqCheck is a web-based academic audit platform built to help University of Waterloo students track and plan their progress toward graduation. Upload your unofficial transcript or manually enter completed courses, select your major, and instantly see which requirements you’ve completed — and what’s still pending. Then simulate future semesters with What-If Analysis, and even save your progress for later.
Choose your major and either upload your unofficial transcript (we’ll parse it for you), or enter your completed courses manually.
Instantly shows which degree requirements are complete and what remains.
Try out hypothetical course selections to simulate how future terms will impact your graduation plan — fulfilled requirements update in real-time.
Log in with Google and save your progress. Revisit your results later without needing to re-upload anything.
Let us know what you think with a star rating and message, sent directly to our inbox using EmailJS.
