1. All students participating in the Dual Enrollment Program are required to complete an application. Click the “Apply” link in the navigation panel on the right and complete the CSN Admissions Application for High School and Early College Programs.
2. Students will be admitted and will receive their NSHE student ID number within 3-5 days. Students then validate their CSN student account with their NSHE student ID number.
3. After a student has validated their CSN student account, they will create a password. This will allow students to log in to GoCSN and access all of their CSN-related apps in one place, including MyCSN, CANVAS, ALEKS, Tutoring, CSN Library, CSN Student Email, and more.
Math and English courses require placement exams or ACT/SAT scores, submitted after students receive their NSHE#.
Placement Exams
The Self-Guided Survey for English Placement and ALEKS for Math are both available remotely. For information on how to complete placement requirements, please visit
ACT or SAT Scores

The CSN Testing Centers will accept SAT and ACT scores for placement in the following forms:
1. Emailed directly to the CSN Testing Center from the high school
2. You may scan the copy mailed to your home and email it OR
3. Order from ACT or SAT to send directly to CSN. This process can take about 4 weeks before the scores are received by the testing center for entry.
Students must attend a virtual new student orientation session to learn about CSN processes such as account access, software use, and student success resources. Students can access the new student orientation by logging into the GoCSN portal and searching for “New Student Orientation.”
After students have completed their new student orientation, they are encouraged to meet with an academic advisor, if they plan to complete an associate’s degree while in high school, to select courses that are aligned with their college goals. Instructions on scheduling an appointment with an academic advisor can be found at:
