Csn Ece Lab Program - Charleston

Beautiful buildings and a variety of opportunities to take classes for working students trying to earn a degree. CSN's Prison Education Program is powerful in bringing local partners together to help strengthen our community and reduce recidivism.

i had a counseling call with an academic counselor yesterday afternoon, my counselor was Valerie Conner. thinking id gain her help with enrolling, but was met with a condescending and dismissive tone. the call only last for a couple of minutes (a single digit) and was not helped at all. i provided her with an email during the waitlist and she did not send me the email she said she'd send to help me.

I tried to apply and was finally accepted for the third term I applied to because their admin "never got my transcripts" that I had paid for multiple occasions to be sent over electronically and securely. I finally was able to attend for an 8 week course and took summer off. They put a hold on my account a couple of days after my spring classes had ended and need me to turn my official high school transcripts in AGAIN. I had been to the school multiple times to try and do everything in person. While I was there they stated that almost everything had to be done online and told me that I did not need to come in. While I did attempt to do things from home it would take forever to process or even set up an appointment with the counselors. I went IN PERSON so that I can make sure they absolutely received all my documents. I went to drop off my official transcript but they said they couldn't take it because it wasn't their department or if they did take it, it would have been through online. You just get pushed around to different people who don't know how to solve your problems. When applying for advising meetings they ask which department advisor you are trying to book for but when I was told to contact someone for what I needed they said they don't do departments anymore so it does not matter who I book my appointment with. It all sounds confusing trying to explain because no one knows what is going on. Better off choosing a different school because you barely get the support you need. Certain teachers are good at teaching and helping you with your classes but outside of that the teacher's can't anything about things like financial aid, administrative work, or advising.

Can’t go back to school over a decade later because of classes that I dropped out of when I was trying to get sober. Now over 10 years later, trying to go back for a completely different degree. They denied me any financial aid so since they can’t make money off of me, I am denied and highly doubt I will get my application feedback. Thanks for nothing.

I am immensely grateful for my experience at the College of Southern Nevada (CSN). Even though I have graduated from UNLV, I still consider CSN as my alma mater. CSN provided me with numerous opportunities and placed a strong emphasis on prioritizing students. I was privileged to join the Student Ambassador program within the Department of Recruitment & College Connections and had the utmost honor of serving as President for the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society. These remarkable opportunities, coupled with navigating a change of major to business, truly inspired me to pursue a career in Human Resources (HR). Without the guidance of the wonderful professors, phenomenal advisors, and supportive coworkers at CSN, I am uncertain where I would be today. I appreciated the diverse age range of students at CSN, with the average student age being 27 during my attendance. Learning from such a varied group enriched my educational experience, fostering countless connections and cherished memories. Upon graduating with my Associate's in Business in 2021, I wished that CSN offered a Bachelor's in Human Resources so I could have continued my education there. However, after completing my Bachelor's at UNLV, I reflect on the profound impact CSN had on shaping my future for the better. I am grateful for choosing community college over directly enrolling at UNLV. Additionally, obtaining numerous scholarships at CSN significantly minimized my out-of-pocket expenses, allowing me to graduate without the burden of financial strain. The experience at CSN remains vivid in my mind even after completing my undergraduate degrees. I wish more people understood the excellence of this institution. Thank you, CSN, for everything.
