How to Apply to Queens Community College?

I'm looking to apply to Queens Community College and need some guidance on how to start the application process. Do they have specific requirements or forms I should be aware of before I begin?

Applying to Queens Community College (QCC), part of the City University of New York (CUNY) system, involves several straightforward steps. You would be applying as a freshman if you've never attended college before, or as a transfer student if you have.

1. Complete the CUNY Application: The first step in the process is to fill out the CUNY application, which you can find on the CUNY website. There's a non-refundable $65 application fee for associates degree.

2. Submit Your Academic Records: As part of the application, you should have your high school transcript sent to CUNY/UAPC. If you attended school outside the U.S., you may need to have your documents evaluated by a CUNY-approved evaluation agency. If you're a transfer student, you should also submit your transcript from any colleges you've attended.

3. Proof of Immunization: You are required to submit proof of immunization against measles, mumps, and rubella, as well as submit proof of a meningitis response. You'll need to download the form from the QCC website and mail or deliver it.

4. Take Placement Tests: Once your application is processed, and you've received an admission letter, you may be required to take placement tests in reading, writing, and math to ensure appropriate class placement.

5. Attend Orientation: After receiving your test results, you’ll attend an orientation session, where you'll meet with an academic advisor and register for classes. They will guide you through course selection based on your degree program and placement test results.

Remember, each college may have its own requirements and timeline, so it's best to start the application process early. Be sure to check QCC's website or contact their Admission's Office for the most up-to-date and detailed information.
