When you choose geography
At the end of first year, when you select your plan on SOLUS in mid-to-late May.
What to watch for
Confirmed by the department: "If your plan reads 'ASC1' at the end of first year and you are entering second year in the Fall, you must select a plan in SOLUS in mid to late May." Geography can finish as a BA or a BSc — for the BSc, enter through a Science pathway instead of Arts. The department also offers a Geographic Information Science Certificate (GISC), which is a certificate, not a major.
The same application also gets you to
Arts is the entry point for 9 other majors at Queen's. You are not choosing between these at application time.
