How to Apply

Queens College offers two regular 15-week semesters (fall, late August – December; spring, late January – May) and four summer sessions. ACE classes are held during the evenings and on weekends. Weekday courses are offered to ACE students as they progress into regular college classes. We recommend that returning adults begin as part-time students, taking 3 to 11 credits per semester. Full-time students take 12 to 18 credits per semester.
