G’day everyone!
As you enjoy your holiday before heading to Kingston for your first year (are you excited? I know I am and I already live here!!), some of you might have wondered what we do in our office in the summer months. While the vast majority of our admissions have wrapped up, we’re still hard at work getting things ready for you and even starting to look towards the Class of 2014!
For example, today I looked at a few of you who were studying the International Baccalaureate or wrote some Advanced Placement exams. We granted university level credit for many of you who will receive something in the mail shortly about what credits you were eligible to receive. You can also see your transfer credits under your marks by logging into QCARD with your student number.
Next, much like Santa Claus, we’ve been making lists of each of you as we have been going along. Now, it’s time for us to check things twice and verify that you met the conditions of your offer. If you didn’t meet your offer conditions (check our offer letter to see the conditions that apply for you), please contact us as soon as you can. Otherwise, we will be in touch with your shortly to get everything cleared up.
Otherwise, we’re starting to plan how we will find the Class of 2014. We have booked a few hundred school visits in multiple provinces (with lots yet to book) and we’re gearing up for the annual Ontario Universities’ Fair in Toronto. Add to that a few Open Houses here on campus and some special events elsewhere, it’s gearing up to be a busy fall!
All in all, we are very excited that you will all be on campus in just 44 days! While I can’t complain too much about the weather in Kingston in the summertime (despite summer hiding from us this year), Queen’s just isn’t the same without its students. September will be here before you know it, and we will be here to welcome you!
