As we are preparing to welcome you to the 2020-21 academic year next week, I would like to request that you update your address for the fall term, as well as your cell phone number and emergency contact information, by the end of this week.
 
The health and safety of our entire community is my top priority and I require your help to ensure that I have emergency contact information for everyone in our Faculty. We are all in this together, so please take a moment to update your contact information and encourage others to do the same.
 
To update your contact information, please log in to SOLUS and look for the link in your "To Do" list at the top right of the page. You can also watch this video  for instructions. If you have questions, please email solus@queensu.ca or contact me by responding to this email and I will ensure you get the help you need.
 
Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I cannot wait to welcome you to the first day of classes next week!
 
Please stay healthy and safe.
 
Sincerely,
Barbara

Are you trying to add an online class to your schedule that appears to have space but are still receiving an error message? 

All of the online classes offered through the Arts and Science Online course catalog (found in SOLUS by searching through the "undergraduate online" career) have a small percentage of seats reserved for our Arts and Science Online students who are completing their degrees 100% online. This is our standard practice to ensure that those students can access the courses they need to graduate on time. 

All other students will be able to add themselves to these classes if there is space or to the waitlists (if available). The reserves will be removed on the first day of classes on September 8, so any remaining spaces will be opened to those on the waitlist or become available to add at that time.
Do you want to know if you are on the right path to graduate? Having an advisor run a degree audit is an important part of making sure that you are on track to complete your degree. We highly recommend that students complete a degree audit with an advisor or run an Academic Advisement Report once a year.  

Fill out this form and we will get back to you with degree audit reports by email. 
 
Note that you can also run an Academic Advisement Report to see what you have completed and still need to complete in order to meet your degree requirements.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our first Coffee and Conversation with the Dean event on August 24.

We would like to invite you to our next informal event, which will be a brown bag lunch with the Dean, faculty, staff, and students, at 12:00 noon on October 14, via Zoom.
