Whether you are new to Queen's, or are a returning student, your academic year begins with your registration.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic - Current Services and 2020-21 Dates and Deadline AdjustmentsThe Office of the University Registrar (OUR) is here to provide service to you.
We continue to offer online and remote service delivery to help reduce the global spread of the COVID-19 virus.
Our commitment to provide support to you remains our priority during this time and our core operations will continue. As many staff within the OUR are working remotely, we would ask that your inquiries be directed as follows:
If you need a completed form (e.g. Verification of Enrolment required by an RESP provider to access funds) or letter (e.g. degree certificate) from us, go to our Document Request page for easy instructions.
We are regularly updating our website and will be adding “how-to” videos to help you get what you need as quickly as possible.
Please continue to monitor the Queen’s University’s COVID-19 webpage (https://www.queensu.ca/covidinfo/) for the most up to date information.
Winter 2021 Process Changes and Deadline AdjustmentsIn response to operational changes at the university due to the ongoing global pandemic, the university has implemented initiatives and process changes to help smooth out tuition and fee payments, awards disbursement and registration processes for students.

Your 'Enrolment Appointment' is your specific time to enroll in your courses. Your Enrolment Appointment will appear in your SOLUS Student Centre beginning August 4th. When your Enrolment Appointment time begins, you can access the SOLUS Student Centre to enrol in your classes. Please note that you will be enrolled in those selected classes IF there is space available. Your first enrollment appointment will end at 11:30 pm EST on August 26th. Please be aware that, if you have an outstanding debt, you will NOT be able to participate in the course selection period. All outstanding debts must be paid by August 4th.

For more information about who is eligible, and how to apply for an APA, please visit the APA Information page. |
The final step of registration is to ensure you have a validated student card (new students) or your current card validated (returning students). Students at Queen’s are issued a Photo ID Student Card at the beginning of their studies to be used for the duration of their program. The card is validated at the beginning of each academic year. As a result of COVID-19 in-person student card pick up and validation will not take place in the fall of 2020. Please ensure your current mail address in SOLUS is up-to-date – wherever you are living at the beginning of September. Providing you are enrolled in courses in the fall term either your validated student card (new students) or a validation sticker (returning students) will be mailed in September to your CURRENT MAIL ADDRESS in SOLUS. For more information on Student ID Cards, including schedules for distribution, as well as replacement costs for lost cards, please visit our Student ID Card information page here. |
