Welcome Message

Greetings from Queens College and welcome to the Spring 2024 semester! 

On behalf of the entire Queens College Student Affairs Team, I am excited to welcome you to campus for the coming semester and I hope you are as excited to be here as we are to have you! 

As you prepare for the start of classes, I encourage you to check your Queens College email often. This is the official outlet for communication with Queens College and many of your updates and messages will only be sent to that account. If you are having issues accessing your account, please contact Information Technology Services by visiting the HelpDesk in the Dining Hall or contacting them online via their webpage at https://www.qc.cuny.edu/its/. 

Before you do anything else, please take a moment to sign up for the CUNY Alert service. This is a text and e-mail service that will keep you updated with important announcements from Queens College and the City University of New York such as closings, delays, etc. To sign up, visit https://www.cuny.edu/cuny-alert/ and scroll down to “Subscribing to CUNY Alert.”

Did you know that there are scholarships available for QC students? Feel free to read more about them at https://qc-cuny.academicworks.com/opportunities and apply online at https://qc-cuny.academicworks.com/users/sign_in!

When trying to make appointments with offices on campus, be sure to log into EAB Navigate to make an appointment in advance. You can do so by visiting https://qc-cuny.navigate.eab.com/app/#/authentication/remote/.

Over the coming semester, you will see some changes in our food options on campus. In addition to our traditional dining hall offerings, the campus is working with local vendors to provide additional service via food trucks and pop-up vendors, both in the Dining Hall and the Student Union. The campus will keep you updated with varying options so that you can try out all the different things we have to offer in between classes!

As you make your way to campus, please be mindful of the following suggestions to ensure an easy arrival for class:

• Shuttle Bus – Commuting to campus via Public Transportation? Did you know that Queens College offers a free service to our students arriving via Jamaica, Forest Hills, and Downtown Flushing? Please see the schedule and route map on our website at https://www.qc.cuny.edu/a/shuttle/
• Access-A-Ride access to campus – If you plan to use Access-A-Ride services to come to campus or to leave, the process is easy! Simply instruct your driver to arrive via the Entrance Gate closest to where you need to be dropped off or picked up and when they arrive at campus, Public Safety will allow them access.
• Uber/Lyft drop-off locations – When using a ride-share service, we ask that you find a drop-off outside of campus that is nearest the gate you plan to access. Please keep in mind that it is best to have the driver pull up 50-100 feet beyond that gate entrance so that they do not cause congestion for other traffic driving in that same area while they wait for you.

Lastly, check our Student Affairs webpage as often as possible. We keep it updated with activities, leadership development opportunities, and news important for your success at Queens College.
