2024-2025 Undergraduate/Graduate Catalog

Admissions and Registration

Undergraduate certificates are available both to students seeking degrees and to non-degree seeking students. Students already matriculated to CCSU and pursuing a degree may add a certificate program by meeting any additional admission requirements established by the program, completing any application materials specific to the program, and by submitting the Registrar's Change of Major Form. Students taking courses within a program who wish to declare for the certificate must do so before completing the final course in the program.

Students not currently matriculated to CCSU can apply to a certificate program by completing the online application through the University Office of Admissions. Applicants must submit the following: 

  • Highschool transcript(s) 
  • College transcripts (if any) 
  • Non-refundable application fee  

Applicants may also be required to complete any application materials required by a particular certificate program and/or meet additional requirements set by the program. Students who complete a certificate and wish to pursue a degree can use the CCSU Reactivation Form. 

Non-matriculated students interested in pursuing individual courses within a certificate program may register through CCSU's Registrar’s Office. Prospective students will need to meet any prerequisites or permissions required to enroll in a course
