Pre Arrival Module


Our goal is that you will better understand what living in residence means for you, what to expect, and how to seek support available to you. We expect you will recognize and fulfill your critical role in promoting an inclusive living and learning experience for everyone. To ensure your understanding of these expectations that come with living in a Queen’s Residences community, you must complete the Residence Pre-Arrival module before you move in.


It will take approximately 15 minutes, and at the end, you must click COMPLETE to have your response registered.
