What is enrollment cancellation and why and how does it happen?

Every registered student has received an e-mail notifying them when payment for classes is due. Those who have not paid by the due date will lose their enrollment in all classes, with the exception of those who are receiving financial aid or those who have established a payment plan with the Cashier's Office. Students who are eligible for loan funds will not be subject to enrollment cancellation if they submit a loan application by Aug. 8 for preliminary loan eligibility review.

Enrollment cancellation is a necessary process. It happens so that students, who have enrolled in classes that they do not intend to take or pay for, are purged from the system to make room for other students who want to successfully complete their education at CSN.
 

I am not eligible to receive financial aid grants, but cannot afford to pay the entire tuition bill. How can I protect my enrollment from being cancelled?

If you received notice that you are not eligible for a financial aid grant, you may apply for loans. Students who are eligible for loan funds will not be subject to enrollment cancellation if they submit a loan application by Aug. 8 for preliminary loan eligibility review to the Financial Aid Department.

You may also establish a payment plan with the Cashier's Office to protect your enrollment.
 

How do I establish a payment plan?

Payment plans are offered during the Spring and Fall Semesters, only to students who are registered in 6 credits or more.  Payments are divided into four equal installments. You can sign up on MyCSN.
 

I will receive financial aid. How do I know if my enrollment will be protected from cancellation on the bill due date?

If you receive financial aid, including loans (if you accept them) or grants, you will have pending aid listed on your account so that you will not lose your classes. Student award notifications are sent out nightly, Monday through Friday.

Please understand that being held in classes by the Financial Aid Department does not guarantee financial aid payment. If further review should determine that you are not eligible for financial aid, you will be financially responsible for the accrued enrollment cost.
 

I was purged from my classes. When can I re-register?

Following the payment due date, you will not be able to register for classes until the system cancels the enrollment for students who have not yet paid. It is important that if you enroll in a class on or after the payment due date, you pay for it the same day you registered for the class or you will lose your enrollment in ALL of the classes for which you registered.

This applies to students who have established a payment plan. You must pay the difference of the new class or you will lose ALL of your classes for which you have previously enrolled.

This does not apply to those students who are receiving financial aid. The Financial Aid Department will continue to hold your classes for you until the first disbursement date.

Demand for classes often exceeds capacity. Please note the wait to register in person at CSN campuses on and after Aug. 15 can be significant. In addition, attempts to enroll online on and after Aug. 15 can also require waiting if user demand exceeds the capacity of the enrollment system.
