Students with Accessibility Needs

The University provides accessible housing and access to participate in all the benefits of university life under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and ADA legislation. Students who require housing accommodations must self-identify and request accommodations through the Office of Student Accessibility Services (sashelp@queens.edu).

Students requesting accommodations need to contact us by email no later than March 1 (current returning students) or June 1 (new/transfer students) for approved medical accommodations. Students approved for medical accommodations after these deadlines will be placed into housing assignments based on availability by Residence Life & Housing.

Gender Inclusive Housing

In an effort to meet the needs of transgender, gender non-conforming students, their allies, and students who may feel more comfortable or safe with suitemates of different gender identifications, Residence Life & Housing offers intentionally gender-inclusive housing in suite-style halls. While roommates must be of the same gender identification, suitemates may be of different gender identities. As with all housing, gender-inclusive housing is not intended for romantic cohabitation.

If you are interested in Gender Inclusive Housing at Queens, please select this option in the housing application. If you have questions, please contact Residence Life & Housing.
