Students choose courses during September, January or May before each semester begins. For example, if your admission is September - then you begin choosing and registering for classes in late August/early September.
Graduate students in our department cannot use the cart in SOLUS to register in classes. 4th year undergrad courses are limited because undergrad students often receive first priority for registration.
To register for graduate courses, you may need permission from the course instructor and your supervisor. All course registrations require you to complete the SGS_Academic_Change_Form and submit to the Graduate Assistant at mme.graduate@queensu.ca.
Course descriptions for all Mechanical and Materials Engineering graduate courses can be found on the School of Graduate Studies Academic Calendar.

If you have been approved by your Supervisor or MEng Coord to take a course at RMC, please see the graduate advisor for the application form and more details. These courses are NOT ADDED using the Queen's registration form. RMC courses will appear on the transcript as a transfer credit only "TR" (3.0 units). The course title will not be listed. This will not show on SOLUS until after the course is successfully completed.
