Important Dates & Deadlines

Invitation to the Dean's Lunch on October 27 

 

Dr. Barbara Crow, the Dean of Arts and Science, extends her invite to senior students who will be graduating this spring or next fall to have lunch with her on October 27. She hopes to hear about your cumulative experiences and reflections about your time in the Faculty of Arts and Science at Queen's. There is no formal presentation required - just general discussion. Lunch will be provided. Note that registration for this event is on a first-come, first-served basis, but there will be other opportunities in future.

Waiting Lists 

All single-term Arts and Science classes have wait lists. Multi-term, full year (A/B) courses cannot be set up with wait lists. The wait list option gives you an opportunity to join a wait list for a class that is full. 

 

A note about using the EDIT function in SOLUS: if you are enrolled in a class but want to change your lab or tutorial and the one you want is full, you can use EDIT to go on the waitlist. BUT.... If you do that, you will lose your existing registration in the class ! If the lab or tutorial you want is full and there is a wait list, SOLUS will drop you from the class and add you to the wait list for both the lecture and the lab/tutorial. Before choosing to EDIT or SWAP, it is a good idea to make sure that the lectures, labs or tutorials are open.
