After completing a STEP transfer intent form, you may choose from one of two paths:

Guaranteed Admission

Students who graduate with an associate degree from Connecticut State Community College are guaranteed general admission to Central, Eastern, Southern, Western and Charter Oak subject to good academic, financial and disciplinary standing. Guaranteed Admission does not guarantee admission to specific academic programs with separate admission, progression, clinical licensure, portfolio, accreditation or capacity requirements. Students seeking entry into such programs must meet all applicable program-specific standards.

Transfer Tickets

Seamlessly transfer to Central, Eastern, Southern or Western Connecticut State Universities and Charter Oak State College through our Transfer Ticket programs. Successful completion offers guaranteed admission and junior status to the receiving institution without a "course-by-course" transfer.
