CSN 2024 Fall Semester Initial Experience

After a decade of working through various jobs in the civilian workforce, mostly in the restaurant industry and another decade in the military specifically the Army, I now find myself as a new student to the Fall 2024 semester at CSN.

The process for becoming a new student as CSN has definitely been a bit of a challenge for myself, first with going through the VA process to activate funds for school as well as living expenses. 

Second learning the process of applying to CSN; setting up appointments with an Academic Advisor, enrolling in the appropriate classes for my degree in IT Engineering and Network-Cyber Security. 

Third learning how to active online books for necessary classes and learning how to use the tools given/needed to complete assignments now that everything is mostly online.

Now the 1st week of attending classes is accomplished with meeting instructors for each class, learning a small bit of information about each subject, and completing the 1st set of assignments given for participation in a classroom environment.

I now find myself on an academic journey that will give me the tools, skills, and confidence in completing my goals for my degree and hopefully lead to a better future.
