Important to Know

Admission

If you are registering to take a credit course and are not currently enrolled in classes at a Connecticut community college, complete an application for admission. Students currently enrolled at a CT community college other than the college at which they wish to take a summer course must complete an application to activate their Banner student ID. Students planning to take a summer at their current school do not need to complete an application to register for intersession courses.

Transfer

If you are attending another college or university and intend to transfer your community college course(s) to your home institution, please check first that these credits are transferable to your school. There are no refunds past the allowable drop period, whether a course is transferable or not.

Financial Aid

Financial aid may be available during the intersessions to students with eligible Pell funds from the current academic year. Visiting students are not eligible to receive financial aid to cover intersession tuition and fees. If you are considering taking summer session classes, please contact your local Financial Aid office for further information.

Tuition and Fees

Tuition and fees for summer courses are different than those in fall and spring. Credit Extension Tuition and Fees Schedule

Withdrawal Policy

In order to receive a 100% tuition refund, a course must be dropped BEFORE the scheduled start date. Once a course begins, no refund will be available.
