About Our Registrar

The Registrar's Office maintains all records for current Quince Orchard students and keeps on file records of withdrawn students for a period of 5 years. After 5 years the files are at MCPS Central Records Office and can be requested by calling 301-320-7301. For your information, the Central Records Office located at 7210 Hidden Creek Road, Bethesda, MD 20817.

The Registrar's Office processes college applications for current seniors before school, during lunch and after school. Early in the fall, the seniors receive a copy of the Senior Packet which outlines the college application process and provides necessary forms. (Senior Packet may be found on the QOHS website.) Fifteen school days are needed to process an application to ensure that it meets the college's deadline.

  • Use “Family Connections” to give the registrar’s office access to send the transcript electronically, this is a must for all seniors.
