Credit registration is in progress at CT State Community College (CT State) campuses statewide. 
 
Fall 2024 semester credit classes begin on August 28 with a mix of on-campus, online, and hybrid course options. Many campuses will have extended office hours in the evenings and on Saturdays in August to offer additional convenience for those who may wish to meet with staff in-person to finish the registration process, but are unable to connect during regular Monday through Friday business hours. 
 
CT State campuses offer hundreds of associate degrees and certificates as well as short-term career training certifications to prepare students for transfer to four-year degrees or direct entry into the workforce. Programs include advanced manufacturing technology, business, cybersecurity, data science, early childhood education, information technology, health care, pathway to teaching careers, and technology. Students can complete a certificate in as little as six months, and a degree in two years.
 
Prospective students should start by applying online at www.ctstate.edu/apply. To ensure the best course selection, students are encouraged to register as soon as possible.
 
Free tuition is available to Connecticut residents who are high school graduates, whether from the state or elsewhere. Anyone who first attended college in fall 2020 or later may be eligible, as well. Accessing the free tuition program and any financial aid starts with completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at fafsa.gov. The free tuition program is not income-based. All students who plan on attending full- or part-time should complete the FAFSA so they can access the program, even if they do not think they will quality for need-based aid. Program funding is available on a rolling basis; applicants can see if they may qualify atwww.ctstate.edu/free-tuition.  
 
Registration for career training certifications is ongoing, with programs and classes in health care, information technology, manufacturing, real estate, culinary, veterinary assistant, and more. Scholarships for IT, health care and manufacturing classes are available through Career ConneCT. Certified dislocated workers and those receiving SNAP assistance may also be eligible for scholarships and tuition waivers for many continuing education programs.
