Student Activity Fees
As of January 2019, a number of fees that were previously mandatory have become optional. This includes the majority of the fees that fund student organizations such as the AMS. By default, all full time undergraduate students are opted into AMS Membership. We wholeheartedly encourage you to pay your AMS Membership fees. Doing so not only allows the AMS to continue running our services, advocating for students, and building an undergraduate community, it also allows you access to employment at any of our services or offices, the ability to join a club, run for undergraduate office, and save money at our services. Cha Gheill!
Undergraduate students in;
- Applied Science
- Arts & Science
- Commerce
- Concurrent Education
- Nursing
- Kinesiology & Health Studies
Exemptions: Students 65 years or older, students registered exclusively in correspondence, off-campus or evening courses.
Students registered in 9 or more units (equivalent of 3 courses) and attending Queen’s University are assessed full student activity fees; both mandatory and optional. This assessment is done in the Fall. Students enrolled solely during the winter term are assessed 50% of mandatory student fees.
Undergraduate students who would not normally be charged student activity fees may opt-in at 125 Gordon Hall if they wish to participate in and have access to undergraduate student government activities and services.
