two-year public state College Graduates 

Students from Connecticut Regional Community Colleges will be accepted for admission to the university if they have a 2.0 cumulative average. Students who meet this condition and who have also completed the associate in arts degree or the associate in acience degree in transfer programs will be given credit for two years of college work, but must satisfy Southern's University Requirements.

Applications for admission to Southern must be completed by May 1 for entry to the university the following September. If the demand for admission to a certain state university exceeds its enrollment capacity, a two-year college graduate will be admitted at a campus other than his or her first choice.

Admission quotas of each Connecticut State University are calculated on the basis of major fields; accordingly, it may be possible for an institution to accept students in one major field and not in another. Thus, students must declare their preferred major field of concentration at the time they apply for admission to the baccalaureate program. Admission to the university does not necessarily guarantee admission to a professional program, however. Students must complete at least one semester at the university before a department will act on requests for entrance into a specific major program.

Southern will accept in transfer from a two-year college up to 63 transfer credits. Early in their college career, students should confer with their academic advisers in selecting courses in the two-year associate's degree program that will provide the proper background for upper division study.
