Welcome to QCC

QCC offers two types of orientation and we encourage you to attend both.

Online Orientation

A self-paced and accessible at any time on any device.

ALL new students and those returning after 2 years or more are expected to complete the online orientation.

The online orientation provides the ultimate virtual onboarding experience by welcoming, informing, inspiring, and preparing you the new students, and your families for a more successful transition to your institution. In each section, you will learn more about QCC, the many services we offer our students, and how you will succeed in all your goals and dreams. After completion, students will have full access to review the material at any time throughout their QCC career.

Welcome Events during the First Week of Classes

A week-long programming initiative.

The purpose of Welcome Week is to celebrate and support the QCC student community outside the classroom! New students are encouraged to take full advantage of the opportunities provided to ask for help at the start of classes, meet new friends, and of course to always have fun!

Some examples of programs include:

  • Wyvern Welcome Tent | Have your questions answered, spin the trivia wheel for a prize, and walk away with FREE QCC swag!
  • Crafting Sessions
  • Discounted Ticket Sales
  • Student Government Association (SGA) Information Sessions | Learn how you can be a part of QCC Governance and truly be the voice of the student body.

For a list of the Welcome Week events, please visit Wyvern Connect, the Office of Student Life & Leadership's student portal, at the start of each semester! 

Student IDs & Parking Decals

All new students will need a parking decal and Student ID.

Your Student ID is your official Quinsigamond Community College (QCC) identification card. You will need your Student ID to access many services around campus. It allows you to access the library's FREE 24/7 online collection of electronic resources, hang out in the Fuller Student Center, work out in the Athletic Fitness Center, create your co-curricular transcript at campus events, library books, and more.
