Connecticut Automatic Admissions Program (CAAP)
In a June 2021 special session, the Connecticut legislature passed Public Act 21-2, An Act Concerning Provisions Related to Revenue and Other Items to Implement the State Budget for the Biennium Ending June 30, 2023. Sections 257 and 258 set requirements for The Board of Regents for Higher Education (BOR) to establish the Connecticut Automatic Admission Program (CAAP) for eligible Connecticut high school students to be automatically admitted to Connecticut’s State Universities: Central Connecticut State University, Eastern Connecticut State University, Southern Connecticut State University, and Western Connecticut State University. The program is also open to other Connecticut post-secondary institutions. The class of 2023 is the first class of students eligible for CAAP
The Connecticut Automatic Admissions Program (CAAP) offers eligible students automatic admission to participating Connecticut Colleges and Universities based on high school grade point average (CAAP GPA) and/or percentile class ranking, both calculated using the College Board’s formula for calculating GPA.
THS has recalculated an unweighted gpa based on the College Board’s 4.0 scale for the Class of 2023. This recalculated CAAP gpa was then ranked in order from highest to lowest. Students ranking in the top 30% of the class are provided automatic admissions to all of the schools listed below. Students not in the top 30% of the class for the unweighted CAAP gpa however meeting other numerical criteria as seen below are eligible for automatic admissions to the corresponding institution(s). A letter has been sent home to all eligible seniors.
