The University of Waterloo is situated in Waterloo, Ontario, The university received its official flag on Friday, 19 November 1999, and although I have not yet been able to find an image of the flag, a complete description of it can be seen at the university website.
The University of Waterloo's newly created flag will be run up the flagpole at the campus entrance on University Avenue. David Johnston, UW president, will do the honours and raise the flag for the first time, assisted by Sgt. Wayne Shortt of the UW Police Service.
The campus flag, displaying UW's colours of gold, black and white, contains chevrons and three red lions similar to the UW shield. It will fly next to the Canada and Ontario flags at the reconstructed entrance to the university.

My colleague, who spent a year of his undergraduate degree as an exchange
  student at the University of Waterloo, says: "I think there's usually
  one [flag] flying next to the main entrance (alongside the Canadian and
  Ontario flags). It may just have been the university crest on a white
  background."
