Additional criteria for admission to the MS-CIT Program are as follows.
Items requested below should be sent to the MS-CIT Director’s office,
Maria Sanford Hall, Room 312, Central Connecticut State University, New
Britain, CT 06050.
Conditional Admission
A student may be
admitted conditionally if it is determined that additional course work
is needed. The additional coursework will be specified for the
applicant and must be completed with a grade of B or better before full
admission into the MS-CIT program;
Notification Process
Confirmation of the
MS-CIT Committee’s admission recommendation will be electronically sent
to the MS-CIT Admissions Committee members, the MS-CIT program director,
the Dean of School of Graduate Studies and the Associate Director of
Graduate Admissions. Records and applications then will be filed in
director’s office;
Final acceptance
notification will come from the Dean of School of Graduate Studies after
all necessary supporting documents have been evaluated.
Students admitted into
the Program will be assigned advisors based on their indicated
specialization. The advisor is responsible for monitoring the student’s
progress towards degree completion. The student and the advisor are
responsible for keeping the planned program form current. The student
should bring requests for substitutions and transfer credits to the
attention of the advisor who subsequently must obtain approval and
signatures from MS-CIT faculty members representing the other two
specializations and from the Dean of the School of Graduate Studies.
When approved, such forms will be filed at the Graduate office. Students
may not register for any courses without first meeting with the advisor
who will check knowledge of necessary background areas.
