Offer Conditions: 
All offers made prior to an applicant graduating are conditional offers of admission. Each student’s conditions are outlined on their offer of admission, and we encourage all students to review their offer conditions closely.  If a student fails to achieve their offer conditions, it could result in the revocation of their offer of admission.  More information regarding conditional offers of admission can be found here: queensu.ca/admission/conditional-offers-admission 

Should a student recognize that they will not satisfy the conditions of their offer of admission, we ask that they contact us by June 30 at admission@queensu.ca.

NEW:  Update to Arts Admission Requirements for Ontario Secondary School Applicants 
New for September 2022 entry, the admission average for Ontario secondary school students applying to Arts-based programs will be calculated using English 4U and five additional 4U or 4M courses. This change will also be reflected in the average calculation for our automatic,
merit-based scholarships. 

REMINDER:  QuARMS Eligibility 
To reduce barriers to medical education, the Faculty of Health Sciences and the School of Medicine updated the eligibility requirements for the Queen’s University Accelerated Route to Medical School (QuARMS) pathway.

The QuARMS pathway selects up to 10 high school students who are Indigenous or who self-identify as Black African, Black Caribbean, Black North American or multi-racial students who have and identify with their Black ancestry.

REMINDER:  Supplementary Information 
Admission to Queen's is very competitive, and we may use Supplementary Information including the Supplementary Essay (SE), Audition, or Portfolio in addition to a student’s academic record to help make admission decisions.  Each applicant to Queen’s has a unique To-Do List, detailing exactly what we need to round out their application.  

For applicants to Commerce and Health Science, submission of the SE by February 15 required.  For applicants to Nursing, submission of the SE is optional but recommended. 

Applicants to Music, Concurrent Education/Music and Music Theatre are required to complete an audition.  Applicants to Fine Art and Concurrent Education/Fine Art are required to submit a portfolio.
