New Students

You'd like to earn an associate degree or certificate and may want to transfer to a four-year college or university to continue your education. That's fantastic! This is how you start to meet your goals:

1. Create Your Unique Application Account
   Note: You will continue to use this account for any future admission applications.
2. Complete and Submit the Application
   Submit one application for the term that you wish to start at CT State. If you wish to change your program after application submission, contact us at CTState-Admissions@ct.edu.
3. Upload Proof of High School Completion
   This can be a final high school transcript, high school diploma or high school equivalency.
4. Upload Your Immunizations
   Print the form from your account page (accessible after you have submitted the application), have your physician complete it with a signature, and upload it to your account.

Don't worry, if you get stuck on a step, we will be in constant contact with you during your admission process!

After we receive all your items, we will do our part, admit you and then communicate the next steps to enrollment.

Please note that other supplemental items may be required for admission if you are an international student, seeking admission to a selective nursing and health career program, or a veteran. 

If you only want to take a few courses and decide on your degree later, this option is for you. Non-degree students are not eligible for financial aid or for the free tuition program. If you know you want to pursue a degree or certificate but need help figuring out a good program fit, make an appointment to speak with an admission recruiter at CTState-AdmissionsRecruitment@ct.edu 

Take These First Steps:

1. Create Your Unique Application Account 
   Note: You will continue to use this account for any future admission applications.
2. Select “Non-Degree” as Your Academic Program
   This can be found after choosing an area of study.
   
3. Complete and Submit Your Admissions Application
4. Check for Required Supplemental Form(s) Needed to Finish Your Application
   These forms can be found in your admissions account.

Email communication will follow shortly after admission with next steps to register for courses.

You are considered an international student if any one of the following applies to you:

• You are not a citizen or permanent resident of the United States and will require an F-1 student visa to reside and study in the US
• You are applying as an F-1 transfer student from another US college or university
• You are already in the US on a valid nonimmigrant visa and want to change to F-1 student status
