Coyote Orientation & Registration Event (C.O.R.E.)
As the important “launch point” to the First Year Experience at CSN, New Student Orientation is an important first stop to connecting new students to CSN. Orientation familiarizes new students to CSN’s community engagement opportunities, academic programs, advising services, course scheduling, online learning, support resources, policies, and financial aid. With one focus on academic engagement, orientation helps new students plan for their academic goals and get off to a good start on their Coyote pathway towards completion. Orientation creates important opportunities to connect with other students, faculty, and staff establishing an early network for success! To successfully complete the CSN “First Steps” to success, new students are required to complete orientation prior to the class registration process.
New Student Orientation is available to students in an online platform for easy accessibility and connection! Follow these steps to access orientation:
- Make sure you have validated your CSN student account after receiving your NSHE Student ID.
- Login to GoCSN with your CSN Student username and password.
- Select the New Student Orientation App.
- You will automatically be entered into the orientation platform.
- New students will now complete their preliminary Academic Advising Workshops right inside the Online Orientation. Once completed, allow 3-5 working days for Academic Advisors to email your course recommendations. *Health Science majors will be prompted to connect with Health Science Programs for their advising needs after completing the New Student Online Orientation.
- Complete the entire orientation including the post assessment survey.
- Only full completion of the online orientation will complete your Orientation Checklist item to meet your New Student First Steps orientation requirement.
- Save or print your Orientation Completion Certificate for your records.
In addition to Online Orientation, you now have an opportunity to attend a CORE Live event! These events are designed to supplement the online orientation and give students direct access and contact with CSN campus resources and a great chance to meet other students, faculty and staff. Visit csn.edu/orientation for more information on the events and how to register – we hope to see you there! FYE also hosts ongoing Your FYE Connect events for students, families, & support persons prior to and during the academic year. Stay connected to the FYE web page and social media for the most current information.
