Important to Know

Academic Rigor

While the number of weeks for each accelerated session is much shorter than those of the regular fall and spring semesters, students should be aware that each course contains the same number of class hours as the regular semester. As a result, the level of study is much more intensive and demanding of time. Students should consider this in planning their time and course selection.

Admission

If you are registering to take a credit course and are not currently enrolled in classes at CT State Community College, complete an application for admission. 

Financial Aid

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

Transfer

If you are attending another college or university and intend to transfer CT State 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.

Tuition and Fees

Tuition and fees for summer/winter session 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.
