  • Please note that Queen’s Residence is a high density living environment.  It may be difficult to control that environment in regards to a medical condition.  We strongly encourage students who may have environmental health concerns to consider if accommodation in residence is safe and conducive to their lifestyle.
  • We are committed to accommodating the requirements of students with disabilities to the best of our ability. However, please note that you may not be placed in the residence of your preference.
  • Please contact the Residence Admissions office if you have a parent, guardian, or sibling with a disability such as mobility, vision or hearing impairment that would require accommodation when visiting your residence building.
