Get To Know CSN

How do I log in?

Go to https://www.csn.edu, click on login, and login with your CSN username and password.

MyCSN is not connecting and other issues

What happened to MyCSN?
Nothing has changed.  MyCSN and GoCSN are two different applications.  MyCSN is still where you login to register for classes, make payments, and more.  GoCSN is a single sign-on application that allows you to access all of your CSN and personal applications (like MyCSN) from one site and one login, from any device or location.

Having Trouble logging into MyCSN?
MyCSN is part of NSHE and requires a different username and password than you use for your CSN login. If you need assistance with your MyCSN account, please contact:

When the MyCSN page loads I am in guest mode and I can't click anything.

  2. Close all open internet browser windows.
  3. Re-launch your internet browser and go to https://www.csn.edu/mycsn
What is WebPass and how do I install it?

WebPass is a browser plugin which allows you to use single sign on with non-CSN related websites. For installation instructions, please view the following document: Installation for Webpass

What do the icons on the page represent?

The screen is called a workspace. The icons you see in the center of the screen are called tiles. These tiles are applications and websites you can use to perform common CSN tasks. The home workspace shows default, recent, and favorite tiles.

If you are looking for a specific tile you can click on the menu at the bottom of the screen and it will take you to the various areas associated with your type of account at CSN. For instance in your account you have set up some tiles in the My Tiles area which are links to things or applications that you enjoy using.

How do I update my passwords?

You can update passwords for certain tiles you have set up in GoCSN.

  1. Click on account or authentication in the bottom workspace selection menu.
  2. Click the authentication tile. From this page you can update passwords and login information for your tiles.

Note: If you need to update your CSN login password, you will want to do that here: CSN Password Administration

What is the menu at the top of the screen used for?

In the upper right hand corner is the main menu. If you click on your name it simply takes you back to your home tiles area. The Cloud icon is for the web store. When you click it you are able to add any of these tiles to your workspaces. The tiles contain education information, news, and other services a CSN faculty, staff, or studemnt might be interested in. To close this menu click the “X” in the upper right hand corner of the screen.

The next item over is your open applications button. This area shows you any applications you currently have open. This is nice when you may have opened something and for one reason or another cannot find it. If you click the X on the tile, it will close the application. If you click the tile itself it will take you to the application. If you click the X in the upper right hand corner of the screen, it simply closes the open applications menu.

The next button is the question mark. If you click this it produces an overlay which allows you to see labels of the various items you have access to. If you click again the menu disappears. The last icon is the log out button. Once you press this you are logged out of GoCSN. On the far left hand side is search and it allows you to search for applications, or alternatively you can click on the globe and search something on the internet in general.

How do I open an application?

Click on the tile of the application.

What is webStorage and how do I use it?

One very nice feature of the GoCSN environment is the webStorage area. If you click this tile, it opens up the webStorage application. Once it is loaded, you have access to your departmental drive and your user drive (which many call the H: Drive). You can upload and download files to areas normally only accessible on campus or via VPN.

To upload a file:

  1. Click the upload icon at the top of the screen.
  2. Browse for a file on your computer, select it, and then click upload.
  3. Click done. Notice that your file is now on your user drive.

If you need to download a file click on the file you wish to download and it will download just like it does for any other website. The instructions for uploading and downloading to the departmental drive are the same; just make sure that you have clicked Department Drive. Note: If you right click, you get a lot of functionality that you are used to seeing on a normal desktop computer.  Remember any changes you make to a file on your local computer will need to be reuploaded to WebStorage as the changes are not synced automatically.  Once the file is reuploaded to WebStorage it is strongly recommended to delete the file from your local computer.

How do I add a tile?

To add a tile:

  1. Go to the appropriate workspace using the workspace selection menu at the bottom of the screen.
  2. Right click and select add tile.
  3. On the next screen, type in the URL, a title, and whether not you want it to save a password.
  4. Click save.

At this point workspaces may ask you to supply a username and password or it may take you to the website which you have specified and have you log in. After you have logged in, your credentials will be stored and you will only need to click on the tile in the future. Should you happen to need to change your password or remove the tile, you can do so simply by right clicking and selecting the appropriate option. Note: If you are in the My Tiles workspace, you will see a small icon with a plus sign on the lower right part of your screen. You can click this to add a tile in the same manner as described above using the right click.

How do add tiles to my favorites?

Right click on a tile and select add to favorites. The advantage of doing this is that the tile is now available from your home workspace.

How do I use the WebPass plugin?

  1. Go to MyTiles.
  2. Right click and select add tile.
  3. Type in the url of the website.
  4. Check the “add a password” box and then click save.

Look at the bottom of your browser on the page it has opened. You should be seeing a large gray bar which has instructions on it. This is the web pass plug in. If you do not see this bar, it can sometimes be because you have a pop-up blocker that may be blocking the webpass plug-in from functioning. Check your browser settings if you are having issue with not seeing this. Keep in mind it is also possible that you do not have the web pass plug in. Please refer to the video tutorial on installing webpass if you have not already.

  1. Navigate to the login page and click next.
  2. Click on the field where you type your username.
  3. Click the field where you type in your password.
  4. Click on the button that triggers the log in.
  5. Enter your username and password for the site.
  6. Click continue.
  7. You should see a message that says the login information was saved successfully. Click done. Now you can click the tile in GoCSN and it will log you in automatically.
Can I request a tile be added to the system?

Yes. You can send a request to:

How do I update custom tile login information?

Right click on the tile, and select manage password.

What do "skip" and "always skip" mean on tiles that require a login?

Skip means you will have to login at the site. Always Skip bypasses the tile login window altogether.
