Apprenticeship students will be required to attend the New Student Orientation with their program. This will include details about CSN and an overview of our partnership with the apprenticeship program.
Apprenticeship students are enrolled by their program office in the appropriate courses based on the program and the student’s chosen emphasis.
This information is shared with the CSN Apprenticeship Studies Office, and once grades are posted at the end of the semester, CSN provides credit for the completed classes. These credits can then, at the end of the student’s apprenticeship term, be used toward a Certificate of Achievement or an Associate of Applied Science Degree.
