The University Council was established by statute in 1874. It is one of the three governing bodies of the University. The elective members of the Council are elected by and from among the alumni of the University in a manner provided for by the By-laws of the Council. The Council serves as both an advisory and an ambassadorial body to the University as a whole and is responsible for the election of the Chancellor. The Council is composed of the Chancellor, the Principal, not more than forty members elected by and from among the alumni, one member of Senate, and one member of the Queen's University Alumni Association.
Although it is not directly involved in operations, the Council may bring to the Senate or Board of Trustees any matter that it believes affects Queen's well-being and prosperity. In this way the Council, in plenary session and through study committees, has made important contributions to several areas of campus life.
The Council's central functions include: to take into account all questions affecting the well-being and prosperity of the University; to frame and pass bylaws for the appointment and installation of the Chancellor, the election of a Rector by the students, and the election of members to the Board of Trustees by the Council; to frame and pass such by-laws as it deems necessary to carry out the powers and functions above.

Yearbooks began at Queen's University as a publication created by each faculty. For example, the earliest yearbook created at Queen's was for Arts Class of 1899.

The Tricolour is produced entirely by students, and published and funded by the Alma Mater Society. The Tricolour is produced every fall and is available to any student who attended Queen's in the previous academic year.
