For information on how Queen's is working to facilitate a safe, supported, and collaborative university and campus experience, please consult the Campus Operating Guidelines. They include key public health guidance, as well as information on masking, cleaning, use of common and small spaces, and more.

Dining with Covid-19
If you are isolating due to a confirmed or suspected case of COVID-19, you will be required to order your meals for pickup. Be sure to exchange your carabiner or used GOOD TO GO container to save the $0.75 single-use fee upon pick-up.
If you have a food allergy or other dietary needs, the safest menu options are those available from a dining hall, and from the true balance menu items. Before you order online it is important you complete the complete Allergy/Dietary Need Intake Form.
Place an order through the Student Residence and Dining Portal by clicking “Meal Service Assistance” - “Online Meal Order” - “Covid-19 Related”.
We encourage all students with allergies/other dietary needs to book an appointment with the Registered Dietitian or call 613-533-2953.
Retail orders can be ordered ahead for pick up by using the Transact Mobile App, however available menus for allergies and special diets may be limited. Download the app!
