Queen's first Faculty of Education was founded in 1907, but closed in 1920, when the training of teachers in Ontario was centralized in Toronto. The present Faculty dates from 1965, when the province approved the Duncan McArthur College of Education, a Queen's-affiliated college. Named after a former head of the University's Department of History, who became Ontario's Minister of Education, the College registered its first 40 students in the 1968-1969 academic year, under the Deanship of Queen's alumnus Vernon Ready. By 1971, the college had been renamed the Faculty of Education in order to clarify its relationship with Queen's, and had moved to its present home in Duncan McArthur Hall, located at the University's West Campus. The Faculty trains students as teachers in all school subjects and for all levels from Kindergarten to high school. There is also a Concurrent Education (ConEd) program, which combines teacher training with regular undergraduate studies in the Faculty of Arts and Science, or at Trent University in Peterborough, Ontario. The Faculty also offers several alternative education programs: Aboriginal Teacher Education; Artist in Community Education; Continuing Teacher Education; the Cooperative Program in Outdoor and Experiential Education. The Faculty also operates the Queen's School of English, who offers non-credit courses in English as a second language.

The Department of University Services was created in 1971 by Principal John J. Deutsch to bring together a number of services. This included the office of the Conference Coordinator, room booking and timetabling office, all services provided by Administrative Services, the Division of Concerts and the newly established office of Coordinator of Social Arrangements (Olive Higdon). George Wattsford was appointed as director in 1971, a position he held until the dismantling of the department in 1976.

The Aesculapian Society was organized by the medical students of Queen's University in 1872. All students registered in the School of Medicine become active members of the Society, which includes as honorary members all graduates in Medicine and members of the School of Medicine at Queen's University. The Society is dedicated to the promotion of the general interests of the Medical Faculty and controls matters affecting medical students in their relationships one to another, to other student organizations at Queen's University and elsewhere, and to the Faculty of Medicine, Senate, and other governing bodies of Queen's University. Control of the Society is vested in an Executive which is elected annually by closed ballot of all active members. The Executive Committee are responsible the Year Executives, Formal Committee, Variety Night Committee, the Aesculapian Society, H.G.Kelly Lectureship Committee, Building Fund Committee, Athletic Committee, Orientation Committee, the Aesculapian Trust Fund, and other elected or appointed committees of medical students.

This Association for Queen's women graduates was founded at the turn of the twentieth century to serve the University, and especially to help female students. Now disbanded, Alumnae Association's main accomplishment, during its 90-year history, was to found, and help fund, the University's women's residences, which it largely ran until the early 1970's. Residences for women were initially housed in rented buildings near campus. Finally, after a huge fundraising crusade involving alumnae from across Canada, and dozens of bridge parties, teas, and rummage sales, they moved to a permanent home in Ban Righ Hall. Completed in 1925, Ban Righ was planned, organized, and mostly funded by the Alumnae Association.

In exchange for its contribution, the Association fought for, and won, from the University's Board of Trustees, a role in the management of the residence, and Association volunteers sat on the Ban Righ Board and continued to have a direct role in running (and funding) the growing number of women's residences until the early 1970s, when the University took over the management of the residences and the Ban Righ Board became an advisory body only. The Association also insisted that any surpluses from the running of Ban Righ be put to other purposes involving women's residences. The Board of Trustees agreed, partly because many of its members doubted there would be a surplus. By the end of the era of alumnae management, however, a large surplus had accumulated, and part of this money was used to launch and maintain the Ban Righ Foundation for Continuing Education (now the Ban Righ Centre) in 1974. After 1986 the Alumnae Association did not exclusively represent female Queen's graduates: they also belonged to the general alumni association, which started in 1926 and included both men and women. The Alumnae Association ceased to exist in 1990, and was replaced by a Committee on Women's Affairs within the Alumni Association.
