Estimate Your Cost

Use the net price calculator to get an estimate of the costs to attend QCC. The calculator includes estimated costs for tuition and required fees, books and supplies, living expenses (including housing and food), and other education-related expenses. Note: Applying for financial aid can often assist you with your educational expenses. We do not offer campus housing, so actual living expenses will vary based on your current living arrangements. Financial Aid need-based grants are targeted to assist students with the direct costs of tuition, fees, books, and supplies.
