Academic Advising

Welcome to CT State!

We're thrilled you've joined our community. The Accepted Students webpage provides essential information and next steps to ensure a smooth and successful enrollment process. 
 
Here are some items to pay close attention to:  

• Apply and get accepted to CT State 
• Log in to your myCTState account
  Follow the myCTState login instructions if you need assistance 
• Apply for FAFSA or AACTUS 
  If you're applying for FAFSA, you must use federal school code 007635 on your  FAFSA.  
• Submit placement documents
  Before meeting with a GP advisor, ensure placement documents are on file with the Admissions office: SAT/ACT scores, AP scores and/or high school transcripts.  
• Upload SAT scores and high school transcripts to your application account
• Please ensure any college transcripts are on file if you would like to transfer in college credit

Please note: An advisor may not be assigned to you in Degree Works upon acceptance but will be once you have registered for the upcoming semester. You're welcome to select an advising appointment with an advisor that supports your intended program of study (major). 

As a continuing student, you're encouraged to connect with your assigned GP advisor to prepare for registration and/or your faculty advisor/program coordinator to learn more about your degree path. To guarantee time with your assigned advisor, please schedule an appointment. Advisors can meet with you in person, virtually or over the phone. Refer to your home campus for specific drop-in advising hours.  

Your advisor is listed on your Degree Works audit.  

• To meet with your Guided Pathways Advisor, find your home campus and make an appointment
• To meet with your Faculty Advisor, please use the email listed in Degree Works. 

*If you can't locate your advisor, contact your home campus Guided Pathways Advising office.
