We will send students SOLUS access information after they apply.

Offers of Admission

All offers of admission made to Ontario high school students by Queen's University, prior to receiving final grades and completing the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD), are conditional. Decisions can be based on final Grade 11 results (with registration in appropriate Grade 12 courses), final first semester Grade 12 results and/or Grade 12 interim results.

Basic Requirements for Admission

The OSSD and six 4U/M courses, including English 4U, are required. Please review the specific program requirements for more details, as some programs require additional courses at the U-level. Average calculation is based on prerequisite subjects, plus the next best 4U/M courses, for a total of 6 courses.

Note: The Engineering admission average is calculated using only the 5 prerequisite courses.
