January 5, 2023: Face coverings now optional. Renison continues to maintain a supply of face coverings. Employees are invited to order their face covering through the online order form.  Students can pick up masks in the Registrar's Office, Moose Tracks and the English Language Institute (ELI) Hub.
If you're looking for a small, close-knit residence or academic home base that is a five-minute walk to most buildings at the University of Waterloo, then Renison may be for you!
Renison is a smaller community with its own character and distinctive programs where you can get involved. For students pursuing a University of Waterloo degree, you can live and study at Renison while having access to all of the services and facilities on the main Waterloo campus. Think of it like a small, friendly neighbourhood, within a larger city - it's the best of both worlds!
