Office of the Registrar

 

Registration Information

If you are a first-time CSN student you need to be admitted before you can enroll in classes (view steps on Prospective Students ). If it has been more than five years since you took a CSN class, contact the Office of the Registrar to reactivate your file. Continuing students use online registration to enroll in classes. Check the schedule and calendar for registration times and fee payment dates.

Adding a Class

      
You may add classes anytime during the published registration period. Late starting classes may be added using online registration until the published start date of the class. Written permission of the division offering the class is required to add any class after the registration period or after the start day of the class.  If you add classes or register late, you become immediately responsible for the fees for these classes and should be aware that you may not be eligible for any refunds if you drop from these classes.

Auditing a class

If you wish to enroll in a class for no credit, you may register as an auditor. An auditor pays regular fees and at the discretion of the instructor may be asked to meet all class requirements. If you audit, you do not receive a grade or credit for the course.

Dropping classes

You may use online registration to drop classes up until two weeks prior to the official last day of the semester for full-term classes. Short-term and intensive classes must be dropped before the published last day of the class. Unless the class is officially dropped, you are responsible for the fees and the instructor may assign a failing grade. It is important that you verify the accuracy of your enrollment schedule and fees due anytime a change is made. For more information see the refund policy.

Refunds

If you drop a class, the amount of tuition refunded is based on dates of the semester for full-term classes and the number of times the class has met for summer and intensive classes. Refunds are not based on the attendance of a particular student. For more information see the refund policy. Students seeking a refund may begin the process by filling out the Student Appeals Petition Request and returning the form to the Office of the Registrar with the required documentation.

Full Class Registration Procedures

If you discover the class you want to take is full, the following steps are suggested:

  • Keep trying (someone who has already registered for the class may decide to drop).
  • Wait until the first day of registration after the purge (when all students who have not paid for their classes are dropped) and attempt to register again.
  • Try again during late registration.
  • Contact the instructor prior to the start of classes.
  • Obtain Permission to Enroll in a Full Class Form from the Office of the Registrar.
  • Attend the first day of class and ask the instructor for permission to add the class.
  • For Online courses refer to the CSN Online Learning Website.
