How to Apply

Have all of your information ready to apply for a certificate or degree program. Complete the application and wait for an e-mail from QCC that confirms your acceptance. Submit your application with your program of choice including your personal email address. You will receive an email within 2 business days notifying you of any additional documents to be submitted. Once we have all documents your application will be processed and upon acceptance to a program you will receive an email to your personal email address and a letter to your mailing address.

Upload one of the following documents to the Admission Document Center.

• High School Transcript (most preferred)
• GED or HiSET Transcript/Scores (most preferred)
• High School Diploma
• GED or HiSET Certificate

Please note that some programs require additional criteria. Conditionally accepted graduating high school seniors must submit their final high school transcript by June 30 to remain in your program.

Complete your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). You and your parent or spouse (if you are required to provide their information) must sign your FAFSA using each contributor's individual FSA ID. Be sure to designate Quinsigamond Community College (Federal School Code 002175) in the College release section. Make sure you select the application for the correct academic year.

*If you are not eligible to complete a FAFSA due to citizenship and Social Security Number requirements but would like to apply for state financial aid grants and scholarships as a High School Completer under the Massachusetts Tuition Equity law, you may instead submit the Massachusetts Application for State Financial Aid (MASFA).

As a new student, you’ll receive an e-mail from the Academic Advising Office with your personal enrollment steps that discuss course placement and registration. Classes fill up quickly, so don’t wait to talk to your advisor!

All new students must complete orientation before classes start. Our orientation will help you get acquainted with the campus and the tools and resources you will need to be successful at QCC.
