Becoming Connecticut State Community College

A merger of Connecticut’s 12 community colleges is underway. Connecticut State Community College (CT State), a statewide college comprised of all Connecticut’s current community college locations, plans to open its doors in the Fall 2023. Here are some important facts students need to know:

• the final commencement ceremony for Housatonic Community College is scheduled for May 2023. Ceremonies will continue to be held at each location as campuses of CT State.
• as a part of the planned merger, students continuing their studies beyond summer term 2023 will be matched with the CT State program that most closely aligns with their Spring 2023 major and is offered at the Housatonic location,
• students who begin an Associate degree program in January 2023 will complete their degree at the merged college, Connecticut State Community College,
• in all cases, the College is committed to students completing their education with a minimum of disruption and staying in touch with your advisor/program coordinator is essential,
