SUMMER COURSE ENROLMENT

Course enrolment for the Summer 2022 term is now open. You can now view available summer courses and register through your SOLUS student center. This list may be updated as the Summer term draws closer, so consult SOLUS regularly for the most up-to-date course list. As a reminder, if you are trying to register for an online course, but getting an error saying that the seats are “reserved for students in other programs”, that is because all of the remaining seats in these courses are being held for students enrolled in a Distance Career. This restriction will be removed on the first day of Summer term and you may enrol in these courses at that time provided there is still space available. There is no waitlist option for online courses, so be sure to check back in SOLUS. If a space becomes available between now and the last day to add classes, you can add it to your schedule.

For more information about enrolling in courses, visit the Course Registration webpage.
THRIVE WEEK

Taking place from November 1 to 5, Thrive Week is a campus-wide initiative designed to promote positive mental health for all students, faculty, and staff and includes a series of events focused on building positive mental health. Thrive is also a mindset. We all have mental health, and we can each strengthen our mental health by learning about it, thinking about it, talking about it, and discovering new skills and resources to help us Thrive all year long.

Learn more on the Thrive website.
MOVIES FOR MENTAL HEALTH

This event will feature award winning short films, activities, and a panel discussion with students and resources.

UPDATE ON PROVINCIAL GUIDELINES

The provincial government recently announced the Plan to Safely Reopen Ontario and Manage COVID-19 for the Long-Term. This plan outlines Ontario’s approach to slowly lifting remaining public health and workplace safety measures over the next six months. As of October 25, capacity limits have been lifted in most settings where proof of vaccination is required, such as restaurants and sports facilities.

Below is a summary of the upcoming changes at this time:

  • Athletics and Recreation Centre (ARC) - As of Friday, October 29, masks are required in the ARC at all times, except while performing physical activity. Please see the ARC website for further changes to facility protocols.
  • Eating and Drinking on Campus - Seating capacities in dining halls and retail food outlets will be increased over the next few weeks. The new regulations may make it possible for more options for eating and drinking in certain buildings; however, vaccination status will need to be confirmed to access these spaces. Further details on additional designated eating and drinking spaces on campus will be communicated by faculties and schools as soon as possible.
  • Student-Led On-Campus Activities - As the university has now successfully transitioned to in-person academic activities, the Co-Curricular Restart Advisory Group (CRAG) will be dissolved and approval of student-led co-curricular activities and events will follow the usual event sanctioning process through the AMS and SGPS. The AMS and SGPS have worked closely with the Executive Director, Risk and Safety Services to develop additional criteria, in alignment with the government regulations under Step 3, for their non-academic activity approval process to help mitigate the risk of COVID-19 transmission. Please note that on-campus non-academic activities continue to be limited to 25 people indoors and 100 people outdoors for the time being and all attendees must comply with Queen’s COVID-19 Vaccination Policy. Review of the new government regulations will direct any changes to the criteria for non-academic activities on-campus and the Queen’s Fall 2021 Event Planning Guidelines.
