Active Matriculated CCSU Students

Request for Transfer Credit Approval

Continuing matriculated undergraduate students have the option to take course at another institution and transfer the credits to Central Connecticut State University.  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 CCSU and will determine the CCSU course equivalency. 

Please note, regardless of the number of credits transferred, a student must complete a minimum number of courses in residence (taken at CCSU) in the major, minor and overall.  Review the degree requirements for detailed information.

If you have any questions about the procedure, please contact Ms. Mariel Notar-Francesco, the Transfer Credit Evaluator for current active CCSU students, at 860-832-2336.
