Student Support Services "Fast Forward Program"

                           

What is TRiO?

Quinsigamond Community College's TRIO program, FAST FORWARD, is a federally funded program that provides first generation, economically disadvantaged college students, and students with disabilities the support and services needed to achieve academic success.   The program is funded to serve 140 students.  There is an application process! Quinsigamond Community College students interested must meet federal guidelines (first generation, economically disadvantaged, and students with disabilities) to be accepted in program before services are rendered.

Academic Advising

TRIO staff meets regularly with students to review and support a career and academic plan in order for students to complete a program of study at Quinsigamond Community College and/or transfer to a four year institution. TRIO staff members discuss academic goals, help plan class schedules, assist with early registration and offer guidance throughout the semester.
