QCC News, Events and Info

Welcome or welcome back! No matter if you are a new or returning student, you're a student and we are thrilled that you chose QCC! Coming to school for the first time or going back to school after a long time can be an intimidating experience. If that's the way you feel, you came to the right place. Quinsigamond Community College is known for small class sizes, personal attention and faculty and staff who are always willing to help.

We know there's more to college than class. Your life outside of class plays a big part of your classroom, college, campus and study experience. Work schedule, kids' schedule and the bus schedule may determine your class and study schedules. So... we want to help make it easy for you by giving you the information you need to get off on the right foot.

If you're more concerned about finding your way around than grabbing a snack, we've got you covered there too. Brand new way-finding signs have been installed around campus, as well as updated maps on our website. Click here to check out maps for all campuses. 

Fun Stuff

So now that you have your student ID, a snack and you know your way around... maybe it's time to join a club? Or go to the movies? Did you know that QCC students can buy discounted movie tickets to Showcase Cinema? That's right... you can check out the new attractions and save money... because you're a Wyvern! Students may purchase up to 4 movie tickets at the Fuller Student Center for just $9 each.

While you're there, ask about the clubs on campus. There's a student newspaper, a music club, Veterans club, pride alliance and more. See the full list here. If we had you at 'saving money', then take a peek at the list of places where your QCC ID will get you student discounts.
