SOLUS Central: Managing Personal Information

The University relies on the contact information in your SOLUS profile for a number of activities. Listed below are easy steps to ensure that what we have is accurate and up-to-date.

Provincial law (FIPPA) and University Senate policy protect your right to privacy as well as restrict access to your personal information. The University will not release information on a student to a third party - including a parent or guardian - unless they have been given permission by the student. This can also be done via SOLUS by following the instructions below

Don't forget to check the side navigation bar as well!

PLEASE NOTE: The following is a navigation guide to using SOLUS.
