New Student Orientation

Welcome to Quincy College. Your journey starts here!

Welcome New Students

We look forward to welcoming all new students to the Quincy College community as part of the New Student Orientation (NSO) program. We are excited to offer in-person and live virtual orientation program sessions to give students an idea of what to expect as they begin their education at Quincy College.

At our New Student Orientation, you will be introduced to all Quincy College offers. Learn about support services and extracurricular activities, meet faculty and staff — and other incoming students like you! It is a great opportunity to familiarize yourself with the campus, ask questions, finalize your semester schedule, or meet with a Financial Aid counselor.

We look forward to welcoming you this fall and encourage you to contact us with any questions by email [email protected].
