No matter which major you choose at Central, our transfer admissions counselors will work with you through every step of the transfer process.

Transfer Credit Equivalencies

We have created a simple web utility to calculate how many of your credits are likely to be accepted at Central. While generally accurate, results are not official. All equivalencies will be validated upon your acceptance to Central. 

IMPORTANT: The 12 Connecticut community colleges are merging to create CT State Community College. Our transfer equivalency website is in the process of being updated to include new CT State Community College transfer equivalencies for coursework completed in Fall 2023 and later. Until this is complete, please refer to this draft transfer file to assist with CT State Community College transfer equivalencies.

“I decided to transfer to Central after my first semester at (another Connecticut university) did not go as expected. I was struggling to connect with my peers and the faculty there, whereas things ended up being the complete opposite at Central. Choosing central was absolutely the right move, and living on campus just made it that much better because I was always around for activities and work.”
