Exclusively for first-year students, Raftr is your new digital community platform to connect with your peers, learn about upcoming events and socials, and get answers to all your questions. All incoming first-year students will be invited to join Raftr so you can get a head start on building your community before you arrive on campus this fall.
Raftr is one of the key ways to stay connected throughout the year. Built with a focus on community, events, and social integration, Raftr is the one-stop shop for virtual interactions at Queen’s.
Available on a variety of devices, you can connect to Raftr at any time and get updates on events, links to join in, or connect with your classmates!
- Check your Queen’s email for an email from Raftr confirming which Rafts you are a part of and click “Join.”
- Log in and confirm that you see the Student Experience Office Raft.
- Download the app for ease of access while you are on the go.
- Check back later in the summer to join a Residence Life Raft (for students living in Residence) and a Off-Campus Raft (for students living off-campus).
- Start connecting with your peers, learn about upcoming events, and ask questions from staff and upper-year students!
If you experience any challenges connecting to Raftr or need additional assistance, you can reach out to the Student Experience Office at student.experience@queensu.ca or consult the Raftr FAQ page.
