The Community College of Qatar (CCQ) will start registering the first 300 students into its courses for the fall semester by notifying all applicants of their status by SMS and e-mail starting from July 18.
CCQ students will be required to submit an original Qatar ID, official high school diploma/certificate and a health certificate to the Information Centre on the first floor of the Supreme Education Council building in Al Dafna to begin their registration process.
Orientation for students joining in the fall will take place beginning from September 19.
The time and location will be announced in the next several weeks, it said.
All students who complete the Compass Placement test will be notified of waiting list for enrollment in subsequent semesters.
Some working students on the waiting list will begin classes part-time in January, scheduled in the afternoons from Sunday through Wednesday.
“We are heartened by the enormous interest in the CCQ and we congratulate the students in our inaugural class and look forward to enrolling all eligible students over the next several years. All they need is to be patient,” CCQ project director Ibrahim al-Naimi said.
CCQ dean Judith Hansen said: “The CCQ offers an educational path for learners of all ages, backgrounds and interests. Our college goal is to ensure quality university transfer education and career pathways for students towards achievement of the Qatar National 2030 Vision.”
The CCQ is the first-ever community college in the region.
It fills a unique educational gap in Qatar by offering higher education to anyone who is interested. It also benefits the country by playing a critical role in helping Qatar develop a highly trained and competitive workforce.
The CCQ recently announced that student applications to take Compass Placement tests will be accepted again after the CCQ opens on September 26.
Testing times will be scheduled every week at the college for interested students.
Those planning to take the test for the first time or retake the test are advised to improve their mathematics skills by studying high school worksheets, go online for math tutoring, and improve English skills by attending English courses during summer, reading English newspapers, magazines and websites and watching more English television programmes; e-mail friends and mentors in English.
“Most importantly, they should also visit the ACT Compass website - http://act.org/compass for practice tests.”
