Quinnipiac University Online's mission is to partner with all university schools and colleges to deliver high-quality, student-centric academic programs in a virtual, collaborative classroom.
Quinnipiac University was an early adopter of online learning. Since its founding in 2001, Quinnipiac University Online has developed a high level of expertise in the design and delivery of online learning. Online programs allow students to complete their course work weekly without attending class at a scheduled date and time.
In addition to traditional on-campus programs, Quinnipiac University offers online bachelor's degree completion, master's degree, doctoral degree and certificate programs through the university's School of Business, School of Communications, School of Education, School of Engineering, School of Nursing and School of Health Sciences.
Quinnipiac University Online also offers undergraduate courses during the summer. This popular option allows students to advance in their programs, catch up on required or prerequisite courses or expedite their time to degree completion. For information on summer program offerings, visit Quinnipiac's QU Online website.
Quinnipiac University Online offers students the best of both worlds by combining convenience and flexibility with an educational community that encourages personal connections, faculty guidance and the opportunity to consult and collaborate with peers.
Quinnipiac University Online provides administrative and technical support to students and faculty for all online programs and courses at Quinnipiac. Support staff members are available seven days a week via telephone or email to assist you. Email QUOnline@qu.edu or call 203-582-5669 with any questions.

Our goal at Quinnipiac University Online Financial Aid is to provide students with the adequate financial aid resources needed to pursue their educational goals without financial disruption. Our office provides students with courteous and efficient service while complying with all federal, state and university policies.
Students seeking financial aid assistance must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at: fafsa.ed.gov and use school code 001402.
Students are encouraged to complete their financial aid paperwork as early as possible to ensure timely processing of aid prior to the beginning of their start term. Bills are due approximately one month prior to the start of classes, so it is important to allow adequate processing time to remain in good standing with the university.
Upon successful completion of the financial aid application process, students receive an award letter via their Quinnipiac University email account that outlines all of the aid for which they qualify. Students can accept or decline the award and apply for additional resources to cover their balance, if needed. Students also have the option to apply for private loans, outside scholarships, payment plans or veterans' benefits (if applicable).
For complete details on financial aid programs, visit quonline.qu.edu, email us at online.finaid@qu.edu or call us at 203-582-8430. We would also like to stress that our main mode of communication with our online students is through their Quinnipiac email account, so please remember to check it often!
