As You Apply

Admissions & Financial Aid Guidance

Before you step foot on campus, our Admissions Team is standing by to show you around and answer any of your questions; while our Financial Aid Team works hard to make sure finances don’t get in the way of your educational or career goals. You’ll hear from both teams throughout the admissions process, but feel free to also contact us. We are here for you.

Once You’re Accepted

Advising, Career, & Transfer Support

Our Academic Advisors are here to help you find the right program, register for classes, and stay on track. Meanwhile, our Career Advisors and Transfer Generalists can help you choose the right classes and tell you about special programs to help you reach your short and long term goals. We encourage you to visit us early and often!

As a QCC Student

Tech, Health, Tutoring - You’re Covered

Tech problems? Reach out to the IT Service Desk. Feeling under the weather? Visit our Health & Wellness resources. Struggling with classes? Find a tutor. The list goes on and on. No matter the circumstances, we’ve got your back.

Graduation & Beyond

You’ll Always Be Part of Our Community

QCC support doesn’t stop with graduation. Our alumni are a big part of our community. After graduation, join the Alumni Association. We’ll help you stay connected, discover new job opportunities, and find ways to give back and stay involved with the QCC community.

Katie Berry, Alumna
QCC allowed me to learn more about who I am, what I'm passionate about, and develop an appreciation for my journey…I strongly believe that college is what you make of it, no matter where you go, so if you come to QCC and take advantage of all it has to offer I promise that you will have a bright future ahead of you!

Access and Opportunity

At QCC, our community is comprised of many unique identities and cultures that enrich our campus. Discover how we celebrate and support our community’s distinctiveness, that includes age, race, gender, ability, religious convictions, socioeconomic status, ethnic heritage, and sexual orientation.

Adult Learners

Almost one quarter of our students are over the age of 30. We know that later-in-life learners have different needs, challenges, and goals for college. Our Future Focus Program is designed to help adult learners transition into higher education by easing financial burdens and providing personalized advising to help later-in-life learners reach their goals as efficiently as possible.

Veterans

For 10 years, QCC has been deemed a Military Friendly ® School. Our Veteran Services team goes above and beyond to ensure your time at QCC is supportive of your past, present, and future. Veterans at QCC receive not only the military benefits they were promised, but also experience a supportive community that acknowledges their accomplishments and helps them reach their future goals. Time in the service may even equate to academic credit, which means less time in class and more time to focus on family, future career goals, and transitioning to civilian life. Reach out for more information.
