It goes without saying that this year is unlike any other, but we want to ensure you and your students feel supported.

Go to www.csn.edu/studentrecruitment to sign up for a 30-minute virtual appointment. Virtual appointments are offered Monday-Thursday 1:00pm-4:00pm and Fridays 9:00am-1:00pm.

CSN Coyote C.L.O.U.T. is a free, virtual college preparation program available to all students in Southern Nevada High Schools.
