New incoming students and/or their families should contact the Admissions office at 1-800-CHADRON, cscadmissions@csc.edu.

As always, there is no admission application fee at the State Colleges

If students have unique circumstances, they should reach out to Chadron, Peru, or Wayne State Colleges to see what options are available. The mission of the Nebraska State College System is to keep a high quality, affordable higher education option available for all students who want to attend college. Our Colleges will work with you to make your dreams possible.

As partners to the rural communities they serve, Chadron, Peru, and Wayne State Colleges have already initiated temporary housing, meal options, and other needs to support current students, staff members, and community members who are in need due to the storms.

The challenges caused by the flooding will affect many of our communities and students for quite some time, but the Nebraska State Colleges will continue to support its students and neighbors. 

“The State Colleges will continue to be a community partner with and provide volunteer opportunities to for students to help rebuild the affected communities and keep Nebraska strong,” said Gary Bieganski, Chair of the NSCS Board of Trustees.

CSC President Randy Rhine is pleased the state colleges collaborated in a positive manner.

“I am proud the Nebraska State College System, Chadron State College, Peru State College, and Wayne State College collaborated in such a positive way to impact students and their families who were affected by the recent flooding and blizzard in Nebraska. Chadron State College is committed to providing access to higher education and these waivers certainly support that commitment.”
