All continuing, degree-seeking students became CT State students as of July 1, 2023.
Getting Started
Review the list of applications above and apply based on the semester you’d like to begin! The step by step process of becoming a Manchester student will guide you through the enrollment process once admitted.
Winter and Summer applicants: Guest/visiting students are strongly encouraged to select non-Degree/non-Matriculated as the degree program when prompted, regardless of the home school major.
Undecided applicants: We strongly encourage anyone that is undecided about their program of study to select either General Studies or Liberal Arts and Sciences (AA or AS).
In the event you’ve selected the wrong degree program and/or term, contact the Admissions Office for assistance.

Costs and Facts
Tuition and fees are low and the class sizes are small! The learning environment is student-centered and student life is very active.
Students are strongly encouraged to submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) if they are looking for financial assistance. Once submitted, students can access their Manchester-specific financial aid package via the student information portal, myCTState.
- Select 007635 (Capital Community College’s Code) when completing the 2023-2024 FAFSA. The college was advised by the US Department of Education to use this code, as it will represent CT State Community College beginning Summer 2023. Manchester will not receive any 2023-2024 FAFSAs without 007635 as the designated school code.
To be considered for the Pledge to Advance Connecticut (PACT) free tuition and fees, students must have a completed FAFSA on file as well.
Applicants are required to provide proof of high school or college completion, as well as proof of immunity to measles, mumps, rubella and varicella (MMRV), when applying under a degree program. Additional supplemental items may be required as well, and the real-time list is available within your application.
