Registration - Out-Of-State Private Postsecondary Occupational Schools


Private Postsecondary Occupational Schools with no physical presence in the State of Connecticut may apply to the Connecticut Office of Higher Education to offer distance education programs to CT students (per CT Public Act 21-45). Registration is effective until December 31, 2021; thereafter, registration must be renewed on an annual basis.

  • Have a Federal Composite Financial Score of 1.5 or greater. Institutions with scores between 1.0-1.49 will be reviewed on an individual basis;

  • Have a student complaints webpage that refers Connecticut students to the Office of Higher Education to field out of state complaints.

  • Pay the annual, non-refundable Connecticut Out-of-State Application fee. Make checks payable to Treasurer, State of Connecticut.

The application fee is based upon the institution’s full-time enrollment (FTE) as follows:

  1. $3,000 for institutions with FTE under 1,999

  2. $6,000 for institutions with FTE 2,000 - 9,999
