NSHE ID

The Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) gives all students an ID #. Your NSHE # will be used when communicating with CSN.

If you have taken dual credit courses before at your current high school (with CSN, NSC, UNR, or UNLV), use the NSHE ID already assigned to you. It is important that you use the NSHE# already assigned to you or you will get a duplicate account which can cause problems later.

If you have never taken a dual credit course before, you will leave NSHE ID questions blank and an NSHE ID will be assigned to you once you apply.
