Parents & Families
Parent & Family Experience - Welcome to CSN!
At CSN, our goal is to partner with parents and families to support the overall success of their students attending CSN! For new students, the first-year experience begins with the CSN "First Steps" (orientation, placement testing, advising) and then enrollment into classes. In addition to the CSN First Steps, our goal is to connect your student to the CSN community for a positive and successful transition and experience! The FYE can offer a personalized experience for your student to ensure overall student success in the first year!
YOU are an important part of your student's success! The focus for CSN is to provide families and students a network of information, support, and resources to aid in the successful completion of the first year working toward graduation and prosperity. Connect to us and your student's experience at CSN - your role is so important.
FYE Connection Award
The FYE Team is pleased to announce the FYE Connection Award, made possible through the generous funding of the Spirit of CSN Award and the CSN Foundation. The FYE Connection Award is designed to help new CSN students get connected to campus and the First Year Experience. The Award is a $250 bookstore voucher to be raffled to 40 students who attended the New Student Coyote Convocation event in August and will now attend at least one additional FYE event (each additional FYE event will earn students another entry into the final drawing, with a maximum of 10 entries). The drawing for winners will take place after the First 100 Days Celebration in December and bookstore vouchers will be available for award winners to use in the Spring 2021 semester.
The sections below provide helpful information for your student’s experience and opportunities for parents and families to get connected and stay connected along the way - please join us in supporting your student's FYE and success at CSN!
