So, I've taken a grand total of about six semesters' worth between two universities. The first two were from a near-native linguistics professor, so she just had her own materials for us. The second two semesters we used this book (Kawsay Vida) which was pretty good. My last two semesters were with a native speaker through Skype, who had materials of his own as well.

If you do read Spanish, I did find this on Google: Qayna, Kunan, Paqarin. I can't vouch for it because I haven't looked through it too closely, but it appears to be thorough enough.

Finding resources in English is hard. Most of the English speakers that want to learn it are either 1) volunteers, public health workers, etc. that only get to a barely conversational level, or 2) linguists. Consequently, the learning material out there will only get you so far, because there really isn't much out there. The Kawsay Vida book I linked above might be the only one out there, but it's only an introductory book. If you're at a big enough university, you might find some books at the library, but they're likely geared towards linguists and it can be difficult to navigate through all the jargon if you're not familiar with it. Someone ought to learn Quechua with me and we can write our own textbook.

Edit: I've had people ask for resources several times, so I send them a link to this post. I'l just update this periodically if I find new material. I haven't personally used these materials, so I can't say anything about their quality. Here are other things I've found online:
