National Transfer Student Week
Queensborough Community College will be celebrating our 7th National Transfer Student Week from October 19-23, 2026.
Every Journey Deserves Recognition.
What is National Transfer Student Week?
The National Resource Center for the First-Year Experience and Students in Transition has declared the third week of October as National Transfer Student Week. This week allows colleges to celebrate transfer students and their advocates who have helped them to navigate transitioning from one institution to another after degree completion.
The week provides a forum to highlight transition struggles and successes that connect our campus and our four-year partners in advocating for our prospective graduates. This year’s theme is Full Steam Ahead! #transferstudentweek
The Office of Academic Affairs and the Office of Student Affairs are sponsoring a series of events during the week to help prospective graduates with their four-year college research planning and to learn how to successfully transition to a bachelor's degree program after completing their degree at Queensborough.
