  • A high school transcript is just 1 piece of information Queen's University uses when making an admission decision. Each applicant to Queen's has a personalized To Do List, detailing exactly what is needed to complete their application. Students can review their To Do List (and associated due dates) on their Queen's SOLUS Student Centre. Applicants to Commerce, Health Sciences, and Nursing are required to complete a Supplementary Application. Students will receive instructions for accessing SOLUS and their Supplementary Application after they apply.
  • Alternative Offers
  • Queen's does not make alternate offers of admission. Applicants will be considered only for the program(s) to which they have applied (or amended) via the Ontario Universities' Application Centre (OUAC) by the published deadlines.
