Study Abroad on Non-CCSU Programs

Sponsored programs are those that have been authorized for Central students by the State of Connecticut and Central’s faculty.  They include programs at our Partner Universities around the world, which allow for the maintenance of your regular financial aid package, or they are Courses Abroad, which are taught by CCSU faculty for in-residence credit and, in some cases, allow your financial aid to travel with you.

If you wish to attend a non-sponsored program, you must take the following steps: 1) file the Intent to Study Away on a Non CCSU Program form with the CIE, 2) complete the appropriate Leave of Absence form in the Office of the Registrar prior to your departure, 3) inform yourself of the Registrar’s policies and procedures regarding the transfer of credit, 4) undertake all arrangements pertaining to your study abroad, and 5) register online for CCSU courses prior to your return from your Leave of Absence.

To apply for credit for a non-sponsored program, you must complete and submit the Request for Transfer Credit form, available from the Registrar’s Office and on line at their Web site.  All credit for study abroad must be pre-approved by your Academic Advisor and the Registrar prior to your departure and must follow the guidelines that are noted in the CCSU course catalog or online at www.ccsu.edu/admission/Transfer_Student.htm.  Only grades of C- or better are eligible for transfer.
