Welcome to the Student Guidance Centre

The Student Guidance Centre brings together a number of support services that guide and advise you throughout your time at Queen’s.

Guide to Support Services

ONE ELMWOOD - STUDENT CENTRE AND STUDENTS’ UNION

There’s a buzz happening around campus…and the focus is all on One Elmwood.

It will house both the Students’ Union and University Services currently in the Student Guidance Centre, in one purpose-built facility to give better access to a range of services and opportunities all in one building.

Set right at the heart of campus and with a rooftop terrace overlooking the area, the brand new state-of-the-art building will bring together student services with a range of facilities so students can access services, collaborate in shared spaces, get support and advice, and socialise in first class venues.

In-person support services

The safety of everyone is our greatest priority, so we have made some changes to the way we work. Social distancing and hygiene measures are in place including:

A limited number of people allowed in the building at any one time
Majority of transactions dealt with on the ground floor
A one-way system with separate entrance and exit to the building
Cleaning stations with hand sanitiser
