Request for Transfer Credit Approval

Current matriculated undergraduate ÃûæÂÖ±²¥ students have the option to take courses at another institution and transfer the credits back to ÃûæÂÖ±²¥. However, students need permission to take a course at another institution BEFORE the course is taken. The permission ensures that the credit will be transferable back to ÃûæÂÖ±²¥ and will determine the ÃûæÂÖ±²¥ course equivalency.

Please note, regardless of the number of credits transferred, a student must complete a minimum number of courses in residence (taken at ÃûæÂÖ±²¥) in the major, minor, and overall. Review your degree evaluation for detailed information.

If you have any questions about the procedure, please contact the Office of the Registrar at 860.832.2236 or regstaff@ccsu.edu.  

Transfer Credit Procedures:

  1. Fill out the form  and discuss your intentions with your academic advisor.
  2. To determine ÃûæÂÖ±²¥ course equivalencies, visit our .
  3. If your school or course is not in the database, please submit the form. There may be a delay as we reach out to the appropriate academic department for review and approval.
  4. Bring the approved Undergraduate Transfer Credit Approval form from ÃûæÂÖ±²¥ with you to the other school when you register. The other school may require proof of prior approval.
  5. If you change your mind and request approval for another course and/or at another school, please submit a new form for the new course and/or college.

Important Reminders:

  • A minimum grade of C- must be earned for a course to be eligible to transfer to ÃûæÂÖ±²¥ and transfer courses will not affect your ÃûæÂÖ±²¥ GPA.
  • Consult with your academic advisor for use of course and credit in your program.
  • It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that courses taken at another institution will meet ÃûæÂÖ±²¥ program requirements.
  • Repeated Course Work: Credit is only earned once when a course (or equivalent) is repeated. If you transfer a course to ÃûæÂÖ±²¥ that you have already earned credit for, you will not earn additional credit. Review your ÃûæÂÖ±²¥ transcript and the course description in the ÃûæÂÖ±²¥ Catalog prior to enrolling at the host institution.
  • An official transcript must be sent electronically to the ÃûæÂÖ±²¥ Office of the Registrar immediately after the course has been graded – regstaff@ccsu.edu.
