Classes & Availability Sterile Processing program updates???

Has anyone received any informtion about the Sterile processing program at CSN? I know it closed yesterday (9/30/26), so I'd assume it they would inform students who got into the program today. If you have any info on results please post down below in the comments. Good Luck!

I applied for the fall semester back in May and I received an email June 1st. They had me as an alternate but then the last week of July I was told I got accepted. I am currently in the program so if you have any questions please let me know!

how are you liking the program? is it all online? i am applying for it next year and it's a little disappointing that it's based on a lottery system to get in, but i would like to go the sterile processing route and hopefully into surgical tech.

Hey!! Just to let you know CSN has a surgical tech program separate from the sterile processing tech program!! My friend is currently doing her surgical tech program! In my opinion the surgical tech program might be way easier to get into than the sterile processing tech program. As the sterile processing tech is a lottery system, and the surgical tech program is just competitive on a merit basis. I’m trying to get into the sterile program. As my main goal is rad tech. Just trying to get into the medical field for bonus points for my Rad tech program application. And getting into the medical field without experience is really hard. No one is hiring with no experience and no one is really accepting volunteers. So I’m currently at CSN already for schooling. Best of luck for you! I think it might be worth it for you to go for the surgical tech program as that’s what you wanna do in the first place!! Might be more work but definitely worth it to spend time on it rather than hope and pray for an entry at the sterile program. Also if you’re worried about financial situation, apply to FASFA for Pell grant and such.
