A part-time student is an undergraduate student who is registered for up to 11 credits or a graduate student who is registered for up to 8 credits. Part-time students may enroll in day, evening or Saturday classes. Charges are assessed on a per credit basis.
An undergraduate student is someone who has received a high school diploma or GED, but not yet completed his/her Bachelor's degree. Students who possess an Associate's degree are considered undergraduate.
A graduate student is someone who has received at least a Bachelor's degree from an accredited higher education institution. Students who fall into this category pay the Graduate Rate for course credit regardless of the course level.
A doctoral student is someone who has been formally admitted into CCSU's Ed.D. program. These students are considered part-time regardless of their course load. Charges are assessed on a per credit basis.
A matriculated student is someone who has been formally accepted by CCSU to pursue a degree at either the graduate or undergraduate level. Matriculated students may attend either full or part-time.
NOTE: Part-time matriculated undergraduate students must register
for classes in at least one of the regular academic semesters each year
in order to maintain their status. A non-matriculated student is someone who has not been accepted by CCSU to pursue a degree.
NOTE: Non-matriculated undergraduate students must apply for
matriculation before 30 credits are completed. Students will not be allowed
to matriculate after completion of 30 credits without specific recommendation of
an academic dean of the University.
