NetID

Your NetID is your passport to student online services at Queen’s, such as: your student email, your SOLUS Student Centre, and onQ. Without it, you will be unable to access these services, so setting up your NetID is the first step.

• If you do not yet have a Queen’s NetID and password,
• The password you set up for your NetID will be the same for SOLUS, email, and all services requiring you to log on. You should never give out your NetID and password

Queen's Email

In order to ensure that your information remains private and is secure, the university will only use your @queensu.ca email account to communicate with you, so be sure to use this email account when contacting us and to check it on a regular basis.
Find information on setting up your @queensu.ca email.

MyQueensU Portal

The MyQueensU Portal functions as a personal ‘home page’ for students. After logging into the Portal with your NetID and password, you will be able to access your Queen’s email account and enter the SOLUS Student Centre. You will also be able to access the Message Centre, where important notices will be posted.

SOLUS Student Centre

How to update important contact information for Registration

The SOLUS Student Centre is the place where you will find everything relating to your student academic and financial record at Queen’s.

For tutorials on how to use SOLUS and a summary of the information you will find there, check out the SOLUS Help section of our website.

Update and Review Contact Information/Code of Conduct

Staying connected is now more important than ever, and we want to be able to reach out to you when it comes to giving you timely information on your studies, your student finances, providing you support services, or contacting designated people in the event of an emergency.
