Registration among Community Colleges

The Connecticut Community Colleges have adopted a coordinated policy of instruction which may broaden the student's education at a reduced total cost to the student.

Full-time students (those paying maximum General Fund tuition) in one community college may enroll for courses at another community college in the same semester, tuition free, if the home college does not offer the course, and if space is available at the host college which is offering the course.

A student wishing to enroll in a host college course must complete the host college's application for admission and present a receipt at registration to show that the maximum full-time tuition was paid at the home college.  The policy does not apply to self-supporting course.
