Students wishing to transfer coursework completed at another college or university must request an official college transcript to be sent to CT State Community College through a verified electronic service such as parchment college board, national student clearing house, etc.

Please note, if you are a visiting student and do not plan to complete a certificate or associate’s degree here at CT State, you can submit a copy of your unofficial transcripts during the application

process with CT State and work directly with your campus one-stop office or guided pathways adviser to register for your courses. Please do not send your official transcripts to CT State as it is not necessary for you to register for classes and they will not be evaluated.

Transfer credit evaluations are performed for accepted degree/certificate-seeeking CT state students based on their current program of study. To meet the graduation residency requirement, students must complete 25% of the minimum credit requirements for degree or certification coursework at CT State. Courses that apply for the students degree and/or certificate program will

be graded for transfer with a grade of C minus or above, including P pass, equivalent to satisfactory grading systems and will appear on the college transcript as TR.

Transfer grades are not included in CTE's calculation of grade point average. For transfer credit, a course must either correspond to one offered at the college or be pertinent to a specific program.
