Academic Advising

The AAC provides advising services to support current student success at NSC in the following majors:

1. Liberal Arts and Sciences majors

2. All Pre-major (i.e. undecided, pre-nursing, pre-education)

3. RN to BSN students (pre-admission and current students)

All other majors, please refer to note below.

Advisors inform students about NSC major and minor programs, experiential learning opportunities and campus resources. Advisors help students to better understand NSC's academic policies, degree requirements, and their progress toward graduation. The AAC works in close collaboration with faculty advisors and other departments to provide a quality advising experience for every student.

Academic advisors support new student success. First term students at NSC attend a new student orientation where they will meet academic advisors and faculty, learn about their college & their major of choice, explore campus resource, and register for their first term classes. The AAC offers onsite advising at all CSN campus location: Henderson, Charleston, and Cheyenne to assist future transfer students with their academic questions and transition into NSC.

Advisors provide services for students experiencing academic difficulty such as academic warning, probation, and suspension. Please reference NSC's academic standing policies in the catalog for further information. Advisors are also notified by faculty under the Early Alert system on students who are recommended to seek assistance from other student support services. Students are urged to consult with their advisor prior to registration for assistance with registration issues and course selection questions. For students who have not yet decided on a major, the AAC provides major exploration and guidance.

Advising appointments are available Monday-Friday. Students can schedule appointment online at nsc.mywconline.com. For more information, please contact the AAC at 702-992-2160 or through email at AAC@nsc.edu.
