Be aware of phishing scams in your email and text messages. If you receive a message from a strange or unknown address, or the message seems out of context, close it and report it to your email provider. Be sure NOT to give out any of your personal information (passwords, account or social security numbers, etc.). 

Spring 2023 refund checks will begin being released the first week in March and weekly thereafter. All checks are mailed. Be sure to confirm that your address on file with the College is accurate. Use your Qmail address to email qccreg@qcc.mass.edu to update your address. Be sure to include your Student ID number in your email.

There are currently TWO FAFSA applications available. Be sure to select the form for the correct semester(s) you are applying for.

QCC has partnered with ProVerifier+ to assist with the verification process. If your FAFSA was selected for verification, you may receive an email with separate portal access including instructions on how to complete verification with ProVerifier+. Information requested within the ProVerifier+ portal must be returned through the ProVerifier+ portal (not to QCC directly).

Students can agree to their Credit Balance Authorization electronically. When you login to The Q, a pop up appears and you can either “agree” or “disagree” to allow QCC to apply your financial aid to all charges on your bill. You can agree even if you do not currently have financial aid, but may in the future as this agreement is active for the duration of your enrollment at QCC.

The Financial Aid Office is pleased to offer you the ability to submit your documents electronically in a secure environment. Visit our Financial Aid Document Center!
