A Message From the Vice President

It is my privilege and gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the Fall 2026 semester at Queensborough Community College!

Our vibrant "Tiger" community of administrators, faculty, and staff is here to guide you in achieving your academic, career, and personal goals. If you need assistance, please do not hesitate to contact your assigned academic advisor or any member of our student support team. Stay connect with your faculty/course instructors, academic advisor, and friends, and always remember to check your Microsoft 365 student email regularly. Also, be sure to download the QCC Connect App (and turn on your notifications) to stay informed throughout the semester!

We understand that your academic journey can be both exciting and challenging. Please know that Queensborough CARES about you. We have several areas to support your wellness and mental health. Learn more about them at our Counseling Center.

Below are hyperlinks to more information that will help you get your summer off to a great start:


Microsoft 365 Student Email

Brightspace
Ensure that you can login to Brightspace using your CUNY Login credentials. For assistance, contact the Office of Education Technology using your Microsoft 365 student email and be sure to include your full-name and 8-digit student ID# so they can identify you as a Queensborough student.

Our Commitment to Student Success
QCC is committed to enhancing resources for its students. We invite you to learn more about the work we are doing in collaboration with Achieving The Dream, The Gardner Institute, and The JED Foundation to support student success and drive transformation change. You can read more about our work.

We also understand that some of our students may have concerns/questions regarding their immigration status. CUNY has created a website containing information on undocumented student support resources.

I wish you an abundant and fulfilling fall semester. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me directly.

Let's make this summer one of growth, connection, and achievement. GO TIGERS!


Sincerely,
Dr. Brian R. Mitra
