Automatic admission means that, should you choose, by completing a simplified, free application for each of the colleges and universities you wish to be admitted to, you will automatically receive a letter of acceptance and details about financial aid awarded if you choose to attend. In order to be eligible for federal and other kinds of financial aid, you will need to file a FAFSA, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid before the deadlines. Your school counselor can help you through the process of applying to schools and for financial aid. You should also refer to two Connecticut resources, the FAFSA Family Guide and the Virtual FAFSA Completion Sessions.

CAAP is partnered with Common App. Please see your counselor to know if you have a GPA that makes you eligible for this program. Students would then go to the Education section, Grades, Class Rank Reporting and select Decile rank that they can receive from their counselor. There is no application fee to apply to participating colleges. If you have already applied to one of the participating institutions, please notify them if you are now eligible for automatic admissions. If you do not meet the requirements for automatic admission to one or more of the participating Connecticut Colleges and Universities, you may still complete an application for admission to those schools, but admission will not be guaranteed.
