FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
 

If I get a degree or take a class online, will my diploma or transcript be marked differently than its on-campus counterpart?
No, there is no special designation for online degrees, nor are individual classes titled differently than that

on-campus.

Can I take classes at multiple CSU institutions, and if so can I

transfer the credit to my home university?
Yes. The CSUs (Southern Connecticut State University, Eastern Connecticut State University, Western Connecticut State University and Central Connecticut State University) have an agreement to accept their sister school’s credits. As CSU is an accredited system, credits also transfer outside the system. Prior to taking any class outside your home university, you should check with your advisor to make sure the credit applies to your degree as you want it to, and to make sure you are aware of any paperwork you need to fill out to transfer the credits. After you pass the class, you’ll have to request a transcript of your grade be sent to your home university registrar’s office to officially transfer the credits.
 

Are my Online courses secure?
Yes. SSL encryption is completely enabled in all required areas, including the registration and personal information pages. The universities utilize “compartmentalized SSL”, which means evidence of security such as the padlock icon or https URL indication, often is not readily visible, even though SSL is actually in place.
