Reminder - Applying to Major in Psychology and Plan Selection
Students interested in applying for a Major in Psychology (either BAH or BScH) are asked to register by May 7 at 4:30 pm EST via a form on the Arts and Science website. Admission is not first-come-first-serve during this window - admission is based on grades. Once final grades are released on May 12, the Faculty of Arts and Science and Department of Psychology will be admitting students to the Psychology Major based on PSYC100 grades and cumulative GPAs.
Students will be notified regarding their acceptance into the Psychology Major before the plan selection window opens in SOLUS. Students who are not admitted to the Psychology Major will be able to apply to other plans, including the Psychology Art Medials and Biology and Psychology Specialization plan, during the plan selection window.
The period for selecting your Degree Plan via SOLUS will take place from May 17 to 28. If you have 24.0 units or more of complete courses, you must select a Plan or you will not be able to register for courses for the 2021-22 academic year. Please make sure you review the Plan Thresholds on our Plan selection webpage (under What It Takes to Be Accepted to a Plan).
Have less than 24.0 units of passed courses? Email asc.registration@queensu.ca or passhelp@queensu.ca.

The Bachelor of Arts (Honours) Major and Medial in Indigenous Studies have been approved and are available for Plan Selection in May, along with the Minor in Indigenous Studies. Consider selecting one of the plans, which aim to:
-
provide students with core knowledge of the histories and cultures of Indigenous peoples in Canada and globally;
-
ensure that students develop skills to work with Indigenous knowledge systems and Indigenous methodologies, framed through Indigenous pedagogies and learning practices;
-
introduce students to Indigenous worldviews, histories, geographies, law, politics, education, spirituality, and art, as well as concepts of colonization, decolonization, and Indigenous-settler relations;
-
engage students in land-based learning; and to introduce students to local Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe communities.
