Paw Pass is the official identification credential certifying the user’s status at the College of Southern Nevada as a current student, employee, or vendor affiliate. Certain CSN services and privileges may not be accessible without a valid Paw Pass.
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) does not allow us to share student's information with parents. This act was designed to protect students’ privacy.

Guests or parents may deposit Coyote Cash or Cub Grub funds for any student.  An NSHE ID number is required to complete deposits. Add Coyote Cash or Cub Grub funds at https://connectcsn.atriumcampus.com/.

A parent or guest must have guest credentials already set up to log in and make a deposit. However, if a guest/parent/etc wants to simply make a deposit without logging in, they may do so by clicking the Make a Paw Pass Deposit hot button located at https://connectcsn.atriumcampus.com/. They would simply need to know the NSHE ID number of the student/user they are making a deposit for.
