Queen's University Admissions & Deadlines

Current requirements, averages, supplement, and deadline guide

Queen's University admission requirements for 2027

Ontario applicants need an OSSD and six Grade 12 4U/M courses, including ENG4U and every prerequisite for the chosen program. Queen's publishes the minimum average needed for consideration in the previous September cycle, not a guaranteed Fall 2027 cut-off. Competitive programs also use mandatory supplementary information, and the academic floor can rise with applicant strength and available space.

If by “enrollment requirements” you mean what is needed after an offer, admission eligibility is only the first gate. Ontario students must also satisfy the OSSD and final-average conditions printed in the offer by June 30, meet any course-specific minimums by August 1, send final grades by the stated deadline, and accept the correct program through OUAC. The individual offer and SOLUS record control.

Queen's prerequisites and competitive averages

The academic levels below are Queen's latest published minimums for consideration in the previous September cycle. They are historical planning evidence—not promised Fall 2027 cut-offs—and applicants still need the exact prerequisites and any mandatory supplementary assessment.

How to use Queen's SOLUS after applying

For OUAC and Common App applicants, Queen's says the acknowledgement email normally arrives five to seven business days after applying. It includes an eight-digit Queen's student number and instructions for activating the NetID. Applicants using the Queen's International Application follow the applicant portal and the To-Do List attached to each application.

1. 1. Activate the NetID

   Use the student number and activation instructions in the acknowledgement email. Add Queen's to the safe-sender list and continue monitoring the email address used on the application.

2. 2. Wait, then sign in

   Wait at least 30 minutes after activation. At my.queensu.ca, choose SOLUS Student Centre and sign in as NetID@queensu.ca. Incoming first-year students use that format even before their Queen's email account activates in June.

3. 3. Check every application

   Review admission status, supporting-document information, and the individualized To-Do List for each program choice. A To-Do List appears only when SOLUS has an incomplete checklist or activity, so an empty list does not mean the application is complete.

4. 4. Allow updates to post

   Follow Queen's instructions for each requested document. Received documents can take three to five business days to update on the To-Do List. Keep checking SOLUS and official email rather than treating one screen as final confirmation.

Use the official high-school applicant sign-in steps, SOLUS help, and document submission instructions.

When does Queen's send offers?

Queen's says it makes decisions from early December through mid-May. Early review can use completed Grade 11 results together with the appropriate Grade 12 course registrations; later rounds use more Grade 12 interim or final results. Applicants who met the January 15 deadline can expect an Ontario-university response by May 28, 2027 under the OUAC schedule. Queen's does not make alternative offers, so every backup program must be listed as its own application choice.
