In March 2005, the Connecticut Community Colleges approved a uniform academic progress standard for all students receiving student financial aid at all of the 12 community colleges. This standard is reflected in the policy statement at the link below and is effective for periods of enrollment beginning with the fall 2005 semester and includes 2010 regulatory changes. Questions concerning this new policy should be addressed to your financial aid office.
