As stressful as exams can feel, you’re not in this alone. Keep reading to learn about important exam information, academic supports, and resources available to help you get through the next few weeks!

Exam Logistics: What you need to know

The exam period runs from April 9th-23rd, and your exam schedules can be found on SOLUS. Make sure to double check your dates, times, and exam locations ahead of time!

A few important reminders for exam day:

Bring your student card to every exam! If you have lost yours, request a new one ASAP.
If you have exam accommodations, check your email for details (and your junk folder just in case).
If an extenuating circumstance comes up and you cannot write an exam, you may be eligible for an academic consideration or deferral through QSAS.

If you have any questions about exam procedures or scheduling, feel free to email . The Exams Office is here to help!

Queen’s Resources During Exams

We understand that exam season can be stressful, and taking care of yourself during this time is just as important as studying. Queen’s has some important supporting services that are available to you during this stressful time:

Faith & Spiritual Life – hosts Cookies and Conversation Exam Drop In sessions throughout the entire exam period, from April 9th-23rd.
Student Wellness Services – offers help with academic considerations, with free 24/7 mental health and wellness support.
The ARC – a great way to reset after some long studying.
Study spaces across campus – including the Student Experience Office Lounge, Adaptive Technology Centre, and Queen’s International Centre.

Study Smarter, Not Harder

Small changes to your study routine can make a big difference!

Find what study strategy actually works for you
Take breaks; your brain needs time to rest as well
Prioritize your sleep!
Focus on being consistent rather than studying for intense, long periods of time

While exam season can definitely feel overwhelming, remember that you’re not in this alone. Queen’s offers many resources that are available to support you; academically, mentally, and physically.

You’ve made it to the final stretch, and before you know it, summer will be here!

Good luck Gaels!
