Transfer Services

The QCC Admissions Office assists students interested in transferring to QCC for certificates and associates degrees.

Transferring to QCC from another college is easy and can be done in 4 steps:

1. Apply to QCC
2. Submit proof of high school graduation or equivalent.
3. Request that your former institution mail your college transcripts to QCC Admissions Office. This is the only way that transcripts will be considered official.
4. After your acceptance into QCC, make an appointment with an academic advisor. You will receive instructions to your email on how to make an appointment. It is recommended that you bring an unofficial copy of your college transcript.
