===== Step By Step to Your CSN Connection =====

If all of the above prerequisites have been met and preparations have been done, the following steps have to be taken when registering for the first time:

  - Fill out the [[https://www.csn.tu-chemnitz.de/secure/registration?lang=en|registration form]] completely and submit it. You will instantly receive a confirmation e-mail<sup>1</sup> with the subject "[CSN] Anmeldebestätigung / Registration confirmation" which just confirms that we have received your application.
  - Now the [[http://www.swcz.de|Studentenwerk]] (StuWe, student services) has to verify the data you have entered for legal reasons<sup>2</sup>.
  - After successfull validation and the activation of your CSN connection you will receive another confirmation e-mail<sup>1</sup>. Your port will then usually be automatically enabled after one hour and then you can start using your connection.

<note tip><sup>2</sup> In this review, it is determined whether the StuWe internal requirements for a connection to the CSN are met and whether the assignment of tenant / room number is correct. This check serves our and your own safety, and //usually takes one business day// (Monday to Friday).</note>

<sup>1</sup> E-mail notifications are always sent to the official e-mail address assigned by the URZ.
