Students wishing to transfer coursework completed at another college or university must request an official college transcript to be sent to CT State Community College through a verified electronic service such as Parchment, College Board, National Student Clearinghouse etc. OR via email to CTState-TranscriptEval@ct.edu OR by postal mail by the college or institution previously attended.

Out-of-country college transcripts (outside of the United States) must be evaluated for foreign education credential evaluation by a NACES or AICE Member Organization; a course-by-course evaluation/translation is recommended. CT State partners with SpanTran to offer credential evaluations that meet the college transcript evaluation requirement at a discounted rate.

Please note: If you are a visiting student and do not plan to complete a certificate or associate degree here at CT State, you can submit a copy of your unofficial transcripts during the application process. Please do not send your official transcripts to CT State, as it is not necessary for you to register for classes, and they will not be evaluated.

Transfer credit evaluations are performed for accepted degree/certificate-seeking CT State students based on their current program of study. To meet the graduation residency requirement, students must complete 25% of the minimum credit requirements for degree or certification coursework at CT State. Courses that apply for the student’s degree and/or certificate program will be graded for transfer with a grade of C- or above, including P (Pass: equivalent to satisfactory grading systems) and will appear on the college transcript as "TR."

Transfer grades are not included in CT State’s calculation of grade point average. For transfer credit, a course must either correspond to one offered at the college or be pertinent to a specific program.

Copies of transcripts or unofficial transcripts are not accepted for transfer credit evaluation for our certificate and associate degree-seeking students. Transcripts are reviewed, evaluated, and completed in the order in which they are received, following the date of acceptance or receipt of the official transcript, provided the student has been accepted for admission, within ten business days. Credits are transferred in from regionally accredited institutions only. After submission of documents, students will receive an email communication on the status of their transfer credit evaluation(s). Please note that for certificate and associate degree-seeking students, you do not need to wait for your transcripts to be evaluated before registering for classes. However, you should consult with your Guided Pathways Advisor about what to take here at CT State. Please bring an unofficial copy of your transcript to your advising session, as this will help your Guided Pathways Advisor provide some guidance as to what you should take and what you should avoid until your transcripts have been processed. The Transfer Credit Team is always here to assist you, and you can reach out directly to your assigned Transfer Credit Evaluator at any time. 

Transcripts are reviewed, evaluated, and completed in the order in which they are received, following the date of acceptance or receipt of the official transcript, provided the student has been accepted for admission, within ten business days. If you haven't received a response regarding your transfer credits being applied to your CT State Degree, you can reach out directly to your assigned Transfer Credit Evaluator at any time. 

If you have reached out directly to your Transfer Credit Evaluator and have not received a response within (5) business days, you can call 1-866-719-1707 for additional assistance. 

*Please note that calling this line before you have contacted your Transfer Credit Evaluator will not speed up this process. Please make sure that you contact your Transfer Credit Evaluator for assistance before taking this next step.
