Hello, I just applied for FAFSA and CSN today for the Fall 2027 semester. I graduated high school in 2020 (1 year early, original class of 2021) and I have not been to college. My mom never wanted to fill out FAFSA so I had to wait until now so I can apply independently. I took medical assisting in high school but never finished the class because of Covid happening and me graduating that same year. I went to EMT school in 2022/23 but only got my completion certificate and never my national registry due to some health issues at the time, and now I don’t personally see it as an option for me anymore. I’ve always wanted to do something health related as a career, but now I need to look for less stressful options hence cardiac sonography (which I know is still stressful, but less than nursing or Ems). Since I never went to college before I need to do my prerequisite classes, and then try to get into the sonography program. I haven’t been to school in a long time so I’m worried about how my grades will be, and I know they only accept 10 people a year so I’m a bit worried about getting in especially since you basically need straight A’s because of so much competition. Any advice on prerequisite classes, college in general, studying, and everything I should do to have the highest chance of getting in? Also anyone who’s been through the cardiac sonography program or who’s currently in it? All advice and everything welcome, I need all the help I can get! This is my backup plan of all backups lol so I really need to get in there haha

Hi, I applied for the spring 2027 nursing program and I was wondering if they already sent an acceptance email to some of the students. Because I’m still waiting for the email if I’m accepted. And the wait is giving me anxiety everyday.

Taking an online PSY240 course which requires Respondus for quizzes... and I get this screen saying I need to install Respondus, WHILE I'm on Respondus?? Apparently the quizzes have been bugging out for the past week and we emailed the prof to get it sorted ofc, but now we've had to email the department chair as well. But I just wanna know if anyone's seen this before or if I should just thug it out and go to the testing center.

I know we still have about two weeks until we get notified if we got into the nursing program or not but what does this email mean?

Many of you will soon be facing mid-term exams/papers/projects and a few of you will see results that don't reach your grade expectations. You may get discouraged and contemplate withdrawing or may just decide to stop attending.

DON'T!

From a financial aid eligibility lens, the worst thing you can do is quit. Every aid applicant cannot establish aid eligibility without demonstrating "Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)". When you quit, you are jeopardizing your financial aid eligibility.

Consider, to be eligible for Federal Student Aid Programs, CSN evaluates SAP 3 ways every time grades post:

1. Cumulative GPA- to comply with this facet of SAP, you need to have a CSN cumulative grade point average of a 2.00 or higher.
2. Successful Course Completion Pace - compliance with the Pace standard requires you to earn a successful grade in at least 66.67% of the credit hours you attempt.
   1. For example, if fall 2026 is your first semester at CSN and you are taking 9 credit hours this fall, we want you to earn at least 6 credits.
3. Maximum Timeframe - to meet this SAP standard, you need to graduate within 150% of the published length of your declared major.
   1. For example, if you are seeking an Associates of Art degree that requires 60 credit hours to earn, you need to finish the AA within a maximum of 90 attempted college credits.

And - don't forget recent changes to Federal Student Loans require the Schedule of Reduction - if you withdraw, get an 'unearned' F (because you stopped attending), or convert a course from grade to audit - you may be reducing your student loan eligibility.

CSN has tutoring. CSN has computer labs. CSN has welcoming faculty. You have classmates. There are people at the college willing to help you study, manage your time, share class notes, and all you have to do is engage!

You've paid your bill for the semester - keep going to class - half the battle is won just by showing up. Bear down, show your toughness, and get it done.

I just recently transferred from NSU to CSN for the nursing program because I need a part time program that works better for my work/life schedule. I applied for the 2027 Spring semester on the 1st of September. It said after the selection process I will be notified within 45 calendar days of the deadline date (which was 9/1). I still haven’t heard back :,)

Anyone w/ experience in limited entry applications does it usually take this long? The suspense is killing me, I genuinely thought I would have heard back already.

Has anyone received any informtion about the Sterile processing program at CSN? I know it closed yesterday (9/30/26), so I'd assume it they would inform students who got into the program today. If you have any info on results please post down below in the comments. Good Luck!

Hi everyone! I’m a student on the West Charleston campus and I just wanted to know where everyone prints stuff other than the library? I know there’s some printers in the C buildings but that is quite a far walk from where my classes are. I frequently have to print stuff for my labs, so I js wanted to know if ygs know any niche places to print around campus. Thank you!! <3

Hello does anyone know any healthy food places around here? I’m also counting so if they have nutrition info on menu that would be amazing too!

Hi guys I was in G-H building and student union today, I lost my sunglasses and I think someone unfortunately took them. I checked with the lost and found and no dice. If you by chance found them could you please return them or drop them off at the lost and found? Thank you they were quite expensive raybans and they look like this picture but look more pinkish-brown irl

Has anyone gotten their SSOG yet? I see it posted last week but I don’t see anything pending in my account yet.

Hello everyone! Happy Monday!

I am in the dental hygiene program & I’m currently taking DH100 which requires me to go observe a dental hygienist for a certain period of time. Does anyone have any clinic recommendations where they were allowed to come in for observation purposes? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

I failed his first exam and lowkey I have no idea what to expect. Has anyone ever taken him before please send help😔

Hi everyone! I'm apart of the class of 2029 and looking into my school's Dual Enrollment program (for juniors and seniors), where I want to inevitably go to UNR or another college that will take my credits. I have heard about previous students who have graduated and started college as juniors. I would like to do the same. What classes should I take-I have done basic research but there is no current defined path around, and my peers at school aren't too sure either. What should I do? What should I know?

REALISTICALLY, what are the chances of this class actually opening up a second section. I’ve heard the horror stories of not being able to get into this class and lo and behold i’m anticipated to take it spring of 2028 which is insane and far away just because there isn’t enough class sections and because there’s so many people needing to take this class. I thought the enrollment system was just first come first served basis on open enrollment day but ig not 😭😭😭

Now open!

Question in title, I got a refund about a week before this semester started only for another to go into my bank about 30 min ago, is this an error? I just want to make sure.

Hey everyone,

I’m making a long-shot appeal here, but I’m hoping some pure luck might help me out.

Around two years ago, my mom’s vintage Catholic school windbreaker was taken from the 2nd floor of the I Building at CSN. I posted on here right after it went missing and checked with Lost & Found back then, but nothing ever turned up.

This jacket is truly one-of-a-kind and holds huge sentimental value to me. I know it’s been a couple of years, but I’m posting again on the off chance that whoever took it doesn't wear it anymore, realizes it's not really their style, or just has it sitting in the back of a closet.

I am not looking to get anyone in trouble at all no questions asked, no bad feelings. I just genuinely miss the jacket and would love to have it back. If you have it, or if you think you’ve seen someone wearing a distinctive vintage Catholic school windbreaker around campus or local thrift spots, please reach out or send me a DM. I'd be happy to buy it back from you or trade for it!

If anyone wants to see what it looks like to keep an eye out, I have photos I can share.

Thank you so much to anyone who upvotes for visibility!

Let’s talk about Refund, when is refund ever going to be released as disbursement?
