Welcome
Welcome to part two of your New Student Orientation. Here, you will be introduced to the various services and resources that are available to you during your time at QCC. You will also become familiar with CUNY's Title IX policy that all students are required to adhere to. Whether you are taking classes in- person or remotely, we hope this information will help connect you to our community.
Please view all videos completely as the information they provide will play a role in your success.
As a reminder, make sure to complete part one of New Student Orientation in Brightspace within the first week of the semester.

Get to Know Your Campus
As you prepare for the semester, we encourage you to review your course schedule through your CUNYfirst account or the QCC Connect App. There, you will learn the start time and location of your classes, as well as the instructional mode (in-person; on-line; hybrid). We also recommend that you review the College's academic calendar for important deadlines and schedule changes, the campus map and the glossary page for terminology that is commonly used in this academic environment. Take some time to explore the College's website to learn more about our programs and support services.
We look forward to seeing you during the first week of the semester! 'Welcome Tables' will be located in the lobbies of the Administration, Science and Medical Arts Buildings with staff on hand to answer your questions. Make sure to submit your attendance and complete the survey on the next page.
We wish you all a productive and successful semester!
See You Soon!
