Speak with the transfer counselor at the college or university you would like to attend regarding transferability of your classes and credits.
Each college evaluates credits independently, so even if CT State accepts credits from another college, the next school you attend will need to re-evaluate your credits for transfer.
If you have concerns regarding your transfer credit evaluation, we encourage you to consult with the transfer counselor at your new school to determine the next steps for an appeal.
If you have questions about the school you are transferring to you should reach out to the transfer counselor at the school you plan to transfer to. If you have questions about your major or the transfer process, you can contact your Guided Pathways Advisor with any questions.
