Your professors are planning for high quality remote course delivery in the fall. As they work to put the finishing touches on courses, the schedule for course registration has been pushed back a little. Registration will officially start on Monday, August 10 and enrollment appointments can be viewed in SOLUS starting on August 4 . Information regarding the course timetable for fall/winter, and on how to enrol, will be sent to you shortly. You can also learn more at queensu.ca/artsci/undergrad-students/course-registration

Thinking about taking an online course this summer to get ahead or catch up? It's not too late to enrol! The last date to add a July - August course is TODAY, July 8.  Keep in mind that some courses are already full.

See the  full list of our online courses and, when searching for an online summer class on SOLUS, make sure to change the term to "2020 Summer" and the Course Career from Undergraduate to "Undergraduate Online". Before enrolling on SOLUS, we recommend reviewing course information (such as prerequisites and exclusions) on our  online course pages . 
 
With most classes being offered online this fall, alumni volunteers will be reaching out to many upper-year Arts and Science students to connect this summer. These alumni volunteers are excited to remind you that you are part of the larger Queen's community - now and in the future as alumni - that can't wait to welcome you back to (virtual!) class this fall. 

Please don't be surprised if a grad reaches out to you, and take the opportunity to ask them about their Queen's experience or their favourite Queen's memory. Queen's has an extensive alumni network that is always here to support you!
