Credits Earned At Central As Part Of The Dual And Concurrent Enrollment Program

Central’s Dual Enrollment and Concurrent Enrollment (DECE) Programs offer Connecticut high school students the opportunity to earn college credit from Central through two models: Dual Enrollment and Concurrent Enrollment.

Students who later attend Central, after high school graduation, as a degree seeking student may elect, one-time, to opt out and not utilize their DECE college course credits towards their undergraduate degree. Students must indicate this one-time exception during the new student onboarding process and before the add/drop period ends during the first semester at Central. Seeking additional guidance from Academic Advisors at Central is strongly encouraged to make the best decision. 

Note: Credits on the degree portion of your official undergraduate transcript are counted towards your GPA and your credit total towards graduating. Credits on the Non-Degree Programs Record are not included in your GPA or credit total towards graduating from your degree program, but they will appear on your official Central transcript under your Non-Degree Programs Record.
