CSN is committed to equal opportunity and access in education for all students, including those with disabilities. The CSN Disability Resource Center provides support to students with documented medical, mental health, or learning disabilities and students who need support due to pregnancy. To register with the DRC, students should complete the new student application in the AIM DRC tile in GoCSN. Students are encouraged to register with the DRC as early as possible in or prior to the start of the academic term. The granting of any accommodation will not be retroactive and cannot jeopardize the academic standards or integrity of the course. 

Please Note - Instructors are not allowed to provide classroom accommodations to a student until appropriate verification from the DRC has been provided. 

If you have questions, please contact the DRC directly (702-651-5644) or visit https://www.csn.edu/disability-resource-center for additional information

CSN prohibits discrimination based on sex in education programs and activities. This prohibition on discrimination extends to pregnancy and related conditions—including childbirth, lactation, false pregnancy, termination of pregnancy, and recovery therefrom—as well as to parental and family status. If you are pregnant or have a pregnancy-related condition, and you are in need of accommodation because of your pregnancy or pregnancy-related condition, you must contact Title IX Coordinator, at titleixcoordinator@csn.edu or 702-651-7481, or the Disability Resource Center at 702-651-5644 for West Charleston, 702-651-3795 for Henderson, and 702-651-4045 for North Las Vegas to explore reasonable accommodation.

CSN is committed to creating a safe and open learning environment for all students. In accordance with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, CSN prohibits unlawful sex-based harassment against any participant in its education programs or activities. Sexual-based harassment includes quid pro quo (this for that) harassment, a hostile environment, and criminal sexual violence (including sexual assault, dating/domestic violence, and stalking.) This prohibition applies to CSN students, employees, and visitors. Incidents of sex-based harassment or discrimination should be reported to CSN’s Title IX Coordinator, at titleixcoordinator@csn.edu, or 702-651-7481 or University Police Department at 702-895-3669 to report a crime.

Faculty must select one of the following AI-Use statements for their course. The selected statement should be included in the course syllabus or referenced by linking to this page. Only one AI-Use statement should apply to a course.

Option 1: No AI Usage
Any use of generative AI tools is strictly prohibited for all assignments, exams, and projects in this course. All work must be completed independently, without AI assistance at any stage, from initial planning to final submission. Suspected use of generative AI will be investigated as a violation of CSN’s Academic Integrity policy under the definition of 'cheating,' specifically ‘receiving aid not permitted by the instructor.’ Potential consequences may include a warning, grade reduction, course failure, or academic probation, depending on the severity of the violation.

Option 2: Instructor-Directed AI Usage Only
Use of generative AI tools is strictly prohibited for all assignments, exams, and projects in this course unless explicitly permitted by the instructor for specific tasks. All other work must be completed independently, without AI assistance at any stage, from initial planning to final submission. Suspected unauthorized use of generative AI will be investigated as a violation of CSN’s Academic Integrity policy under the definition of 'cheating,' specifically ‘receiving aid not permitted by the instructor.’ Potential consequences may include a warning, grade reduction, course failure, or academic probation, depending on the severity of the violation.

Option 3: Open AI Usage
Generative AI tools are permitted and encouraged as resources for all assignments, exams, and projects in this course. When using AI, students must clearly disclose its use and be prepared to explain their process and understanding of the work. Responsible use of AI means applying it thoughtfully, ensuring that AI-generated content supports, rather than replaces, personal comprehension of the material. Any suspected misuse of AI, such as misrepresenting understanding or mastery, may be reviewed under CSN’s Academic Integrity policy. Potential consequences may include a warning, grade reduction, course failure, or academic probation, depending on the severity of the violation.
