Award Holders' Information

Update for those receiving award payments 2012

If you are scheduled to receive an award instalment  from an award administered by the School of Graduate Studies, in January 2012.  This is to let you know about the timing of this award instalment payment.

The January 2012 award instalments will be processed beginning January 3, the date the university reopens.  Queen’s University Financial Services has agreed to assist us in paying out these awards as soon as possible, by running an extra “posting” of bank transactions on Wednesday, January 4.  This means, provided students are registered and they have established a bank account of record, award funds should be in students’ bank accounts by Monday, January 9th which is 5 business days after January 1.

In order to be considered registered and eligible to receive this award payment, students must be registered in at least one course in Winter 2012.  Registration in the thesis or equivalent counts as a course registration.

Students who pay tuition fees via the Payment Plan, whereby tuition is automatically withdrawn from your bank account monthly, should have received an email from the Office of the University Registrar, about the timing of the January 2012 payment. The university will not be withdrawing a January 2012 payment until January 10, 2012. This is partially to allow time for January 2012 award installments to be deposited into students’ bank accounts.

Please contact the School of Graduate Studies if you have questions about this information.

Initiate Payment of Your Award

Payment of your fellowship through direct deposit

At Queen’s University, all awards (scholarships, fellowships, prizes, QGA, etc.)  administered by or through the School of Graduate Studies, are paid through direct deposit to the award holder’s bank account of record. 

The bank account of record must be held at a valid Canadian bank.  The bank account of record will receive award payments for any award you receive, for the duration of your enrolment as a graduate student.  This direct deposit method is only for those internal and external awards, fellowships, scholarships, Queen’s Graduate Award (QGA), etc. administered by the School of Graduate Studies. 

There is a separate process through your department to make arrangements for Teaching Assistantships (TAs) and Research Assistantships (RAs) to be deposited into your bank account. 

International Tuition Awards (ITA) are not deposited to your bank account; they are paid directly to your fees account, as a portion of your tuition assessment.

Using SOLUS to set up, change or verify your bank account of record

To set up, change or verify your bank account of record, log onto SOLUS through “My.QueensU/SOLUS” found on the main page to view your account. The “DATE POSTED” is the date that the direct deposit is INITIATED.  Please note that you must add 4 to 5 business days after the “DATE POSTED” date, or to the date that you have completed registration, set up your bank account of record, and/or met any other eligibility requirements, for these funds to appear in your bank account of record.
