I am a Non-degree Student
A student who is interested in enrolling in individual credit courses but not interested in pursuing a degree or certificate program. Students will typically select these courses for personal enrichment, to learn new skills for job advancement or because they need the course to transfer to a four-year college or university. Non-degree students are not eligible to receive financial aid or Veterans benefits and are limited to taking under 12 credits per semester.
Step 1: Apply for Admission
Students may complete an application online.
Students are required to be in-state legal residents for a period of one full year prior to the date of the first class of the semester to receive the in-state tuition rate, The Admissions office may require proof of residency.
Step 2: Determine Course Placement
As part of the Connecticut State Colleges and Universities response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the following measurement tools will be used to determine the appropriate course placements in English, Mathematics, and English as a Second Language (ESL).
- High school GPA

- GED scores
- Writing sample
- Math Questionnaire
- Accuplacer scores, if previously take
Please send all high school transcripts, SAT/ACT scores, or college transcripts to the Admissions Office via email at ma-admissions@manchestercc.edu, via Naviance or via Parchment.
