Transfer Student Success Stories

I began my college journey at Housatonic in 2018, where I discovered my interest in Psychology. After two years, I transferred to UConn in Spring 2021, navigating online and in-person classes before taking a gap year. I returned to CT State and took courses that transferred easily to UConn while also allowing me to earn my Associate’s degree in Psychology. I now work as an After School Program Coordinator within Windham Public Schools, where the skills I gained from both degrees continue to support me in my work.

Transfer to a Connecticut State College or University (CSCU)
STEP
Strategic Transfer Engagement Plan (STEP) allows you to start at CT State Community College, and seamlessly transfer to any CSCU four-year institution while receiving personalized support and resources.
If you're planning to transfer to a CSCU, you must first complete a STEP transfer intent form.

After completing a STEP transfer intent form, you may choose from one of two paths:
Guaranteed Admission
Students who graduate with an associate degree from Connecticut State Community College are guaranteed general admission to Central, Eastern, Southern, Western and Charter Oak subject to good academic, financial and disciplinary standing. Guaranteed Admission does not guarantee admission to specific academic programs with separate admission, progression, clinical licensure, portfolio, accreditation or capacity requirements. Students seeking entry into such programs must meet all applicable program-specific standards.
Transfer Tickets
Seamlessly transfer to Central, Eastern, Southern or Western Connecticut State Universities and Charter Oak State College through our Transfer Ticket programs. Successful completion offers guaranteed admission and junior status to the receiving institution without a "course-by-course" transfer.
Transfer to the University of Connecticut (UConn)

Guaranteed Admission Program (GAP)
An agreement allowing CT State students enrolled in a liberal arts degree to transfer seamlessly to the University of Connecticut (UConn).
