Got accepted into UW?! Then, Congratulations!
You're just starting your first year and graduation seems thousands of miles away but every journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. The University of Waterloo Muslim Students' Association wishes you well on this journey and is here to support you every step of the way!
The Muslim Students' Association is as vibrant as the Waterloo campus itself. We offer many services such as jumah prayers, halaqas (study circles), on-campus iftars, several social events, an annual Islam awareness week and much more. We'd like to welcome you to our community with events designed specially for you!

 UW Orientation 2009Many new Muslim students will be attending Orientation Week 2009 from Monday September 7th until Saturday September 12th. We've compiled a large list of common questions and concerns students have during their first few weeks.
Questions include: Where do I make my suhoor? Where do I pray taraweeh? Where can I find Halal food?
 Mentorship Program The transition into University life can be difficult and it's often difficult to meet others. It's important to have a group to study with and surround yourself with good company. That's why we've started the Mentorship Program!
The MSA's Mentorship program is designed to help you form study groups and social circles with other first years in your facultyand to link you to upper year students so they can serve as useful resources for you in providing advice and sharing experiences. Throughout the term, we will organize events that focus on your academic life, career planning, social atmosphere and life skills.
