Paying for College

Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). You can apply online for free at FAFSA.gov. Be sure to enter the Federal School Code 002697. If you wish to apply for state aid (TAP) be sure to click the appropriate link on the FAFSA confirmation page, and indicate TAP school code 1407. To help pay for your education Queensborough offers you 6 ways to pay your tuition bill including an interest-free monthly payment plan.

Testing Info

CUNY requires all students to demonstrate proficiency in English (reading and writing) and math in order to enroll in credit-bearing courses. See the CUNY testing website for the benchmark scores that demonstrate proficiency.

Starting with the spring 2020 entering class, students who do not meet benchmark scores will no longer be administered a placement test to determine proficiency. CUNY will assign a proficiency index combining overall high school grade point average with SAT and/or Regents exam scores.

Under certain circumstances some students may be required to take a placement test. Keep an eye on your email and your enrollment checklist for further information!

Submit Your Health Forms and Immunization Records

All Queensborough students need to submit proof of MMR immunization and proof or waiver of meningitis immunization.

These documents must be received by the Queensborough's Office of Health Services before you can register for classes. For more information and to download forms, please visit Health Services.

Transfer Credit Evaluation (Transfer Students Only)

If you have previously attended a college or University, you must submit all official transcript(s) to The Office of Admissions for a transfer

credit evaluation. Students with advanced college/University coursework or foreign credentials may need to provide additional documentation for approval from the appropriate academic department, such as course descriptions that indicate individual course title(s), material covered, textbooks used and any other information about the course to determine the number of transfer credits awarded.

For inquiries about transfer credits, email transfers@qcc.cuny.edu .

Admission application. If you are a transfer student, a credit evaluation must be completed prior to registration and advisement. During your Advisement and Registration appointment, you will meet with an academic adviser who will discuss your academic and career plans, and guide you to choose the right classes for you. Please allow up to 2 hours for your advisement and registration appointment.
