About the Registrar

The Registrar’s Office is the central hub for academic records and enrollment services at Quincy College. We are committed to providing accurate, timely, and professional support to new and returning students, alumni, and faculty across all campuses. Our office manages the following serices:

  • Course Registration
  • Course Withdrawal
  • Transcript Requests
  • Enrollment Verification
  • Intent to Graduate
  • Record Updates

Course Withdrawal

To withdraw from a course or from the College, you must complete an official withdrawal form and submit it to the Registrar.

  • Students are responsible for officially dropping or withdrawing from courses they do not plan to attend.
    • Not showing up to class does not automatically drop or withdraw you. If you stop attending without completing an official withdrawal, you will remain enrolled, receive a failing grade, and be responsible for all tuition and fees. It is your responsibility to take action through the QC Portal.
  • Requests for withdrawing from a class cannot be made over the phone.
    • Failure to attend class or giving notice to an instructor does not constitute an official withdrawal. If you withdraw, a grade of “W” is recorded on your transcript. Once a class is in the withdrawal stage, there will be no refund. Quincy College may require approval from your advisor or Dean. No withdrawal is official until certified by the Registrar.
  • To complete the online withdrawal form, log in to the QC Portal. After logging in, click the Student tab, then select the Withdrawal Form link under the Registrar–Forms section.
