Central Connecticut State University underwent a 10-year review for the New England Association Schools and Colleges (NEASC), Commission on Institutions of Higher Education (CIHE), using the standards adopted by NEASC in 2005.

Committees made up of CCSU faculty, staff and students developed a self-study, comprising three sections: documentation, appraisal, and projection. A NEASC-appointed team conducted a site visit at CCSU from October 19 through October 22, 2008.

In April, 2009, the University received official word that its accreditation has been continued by NEASC. The Commission praised the University for the "clarity of its mission and for its comprehensive planning process, which provide clear direction for institutional development....The University's dedicated faculty and staff are committed to student success, and the President and his senior team provide strong leadership to the campus community. The institution is financially secure and, with a strong fundraising program and an effective budgeting process in place, is well prepared to address possible resource shortfalls and to continue to assure the quality of its programs and services in the future."
