What's New?

There are major changes coming to the 2024-2025 FAFSA. As a result, the new form will be available in December 2023 instead of October 1. Please note that the 2023-2024 FAFSA is currently available and should be completed as soon as possible to apply for Fall 2023, Spring 2024 & Summer 2024. The Financial Aid Office and MassEdCO both offer free appointments if you need assistance. 

Fall refund checks will begin being mailed on October 20 and then weekly thereafter. All refund checks are mailed to the address on file at The College.

Important Information About Your Financial Aid

  • Once the Financial Aid Office receives your missing documents, it can take up to three business days before The Q  is updated.

  • 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.
