MA Transfer policies are changing in Academic Year 2009-2010. Students who enroll in associate degree programs at QCC beginning in Fall 2009, will fall under new MassTransfer policy.

 

Visit the MassTransfer website for more information.

 

The MassTransfer Program

 

As a QCC student, you can participate in MassTransfer, a statewide transfer program with the University of Massachusetts and Massachusetts state colleges. Should you decide to attend a private college, there is no obligation to attend a Massachusetts public college or university.

 

MassTransfer has two components

n      Guarantee of admission, transfer of credit, and tuition reduction for students who graduate with associate degrees

n      Guarantee of meeting baccalaureate general education requirements through the completion of a specified group of courses called the MassTransfer Block.

 

To be eligible for guarantee of admission, tuition reduction, and transfer of credit, just enroll in an eligible degree program at QCC and complete your associate’s degree with a GPA of at least 2.0.
