SOAR (Summer Orientation to Academics and Resources)
For years now, Queen’s has been hosting a Summer Orientation to Academics and Resources (SOAR) program for first year students and their families. SOAR programming includes both overall University orientation and program-specific orientation. SOAR material will be delivered in an online format throughout the month of July (detailed schedule to follow). These resources will combine both live online sessions and other online materials that we hope will help you prepare for your studies in September and introduce you to Faculty, Staff, and students within the BHSc community.
This year, the BHSc SOAR programming will include:
- A welcome video from Dr. Michael Adams, Director of the BHSc program
- A welcome video from Lynne Altow, President of the Health Sciences Society
- A course registration webinar for option and elective courses
- Information on first year BHSc core courses including:
- Live online Q&As with your first year professors
- Sample online modules from each of your first year core courses
- Live online Q&A for parents/supporters with current BHSc students
- A collection of online resources to help you adjust to university life, including:
- Central student supports and services (ex. Student Wellness Services, Student Academic Success Services, Athletics and Recreation etc.)
- Working effectively in a group
- Academic integrity
- Information on applying for a peer mentor through QSuccess
SOAR is run collaboratively with the Queen’s University Student Experience Office who will also be providing a variety of sessions for you to get to know each other, as well as explore the many resources available to you as a student.
Orientation Week
Orientation Week provides first-year students an introduction to life at Queen's University, with opportunities to meet their peers, learn about the resources available at Queen's to support their success, engage in extra-curricular activities and get to know their new home. Our Health Sciences Executive Committee and Coats (Orientation leaders) can't wait to welcome you to Queen's!

It contains information concerning admission requirements, academic regulations, programs and courses of study, and other matters of general interest to students who are registered in, or who are contemplating, the Bachelor of Health Sciences (Honours) program at Queen’s.
