Registration and Course Selection

Registration consists of three steps:

- Payment of Tuition and the Student Assistance Levy (SAL); and,
- Receiving your Student Card / Validation sticker.
Please remember that you have not completed the registration process until you have completed all steps.
Please be aware that, if you have an outstanding debt, you will NOT be able to participate in the course selection period. All outstanding debts must be paid before you can register. Log on to SOLUS to view your account and see if you have any outstanding debts. |

To see how much you owe, log on to the SOLUS Student Centre via the MyQueen’sU Portal. Under the 'Account Summary' click on ’CHARGES DUE BY DUE DATE’. |
Challenges meeting the Tuition and Student Assistance Levy (SAL) deadline for Winter term? |
To assist students who cannot meet the January 10th payment deadline for winter term, but have a proven source of funding, an Alternative Payment Arrangement (APA) Program has been developed. The APA allows students, upon approval, to defer payment of their tuition without penalty, to January 31st for winter term fees. An APA request must be submitted no later than December 15th for winter term. APA requests must be sent from your @queensu.ca email address and must include your student number. |
Submit an APA request if you will be receiving the following sources of funding that prevent you from paying your Winter tuition by January 10th. |
