If you are an International Student:

Apply for a study permit. The Queen’s University International Centre (QUIC) is happy to answer your questions about this.

Visit http://quic.queensu.ca/incoming/studyingincanada.asp for more information.

If you do not have valid Canadian provincial/territorial health insurance:

International Students: You will automatically be charged for single coverage in the University Health Insurance Plan (UHIP), a mandatory health plan. Should you have dependents (spouse/children) residing with you in Ontario, you must visit the Queen's University International Centre to enrol your dependents in UHIP.

Returning Canadians: You must register in UHIP until your Canadian provincial/territorial health insurance comes into effect.  This must be done within your first 30 days in Canada.

UHIP is a primary insurance plan that provides basic medical coverage for most doctor and hospital services in Ontario. UHIP is administered for students by the Queen's University International Centre (QUIC), located in the John Deutsch University Centre.  Detailed information is available at: http://quic.queensu.ca/incoming/uhip.asp.

International students will be automatically billed.

Returning Canadians should register in their first few days at Queen's.

Are you a student with a disability?

Please note: Students with learning disabilities or attention deficit hyperactivity disorders will need to send in updated psycho-educational assessments well in advance to ensure that the documentation is reviewed by our Advisors prior to arranging an appointment.

For more information on documentation requirements for these disabilities and others please visit our website.  http://www.queensu.ca/hcds/ds/students/documentation.html

Getting Ready for July

Your OSAP or other provincial/territorial student government assistance application should be submitted by this date to ensure funding is available in September. Check the OSAP website for details.

If you are not an Ontario student, you should contact your provincial/territorial financial aid office.  A list of Canadian provincial application websites is available on the Student Awards office website.

Ontario Tuition Grant

If you are an Ontario student, not receiving OSAP, you will need to apply for the Ontario Tuition Grant and should do so prior to July 1. For further information about the Ontario Tuition Grand and eligibility, refer to the OSAP website.

Enrollment Appointment

Course Selection

There are two windows for Course Selection: 1) July 15 to 28, when some courses will have restrictions to ensure students who need certain courses receive priority, and 2) July 29 to August 2 (Open Enrollment), when all courses will be available to you as long as you have the right prerequisites.

Student Card

You will use your Student Card almost every day, when you're at Queen's. In July, watch for an email with directions for what you need to do over the summer to ensure your Student Card is ready for you in September.
