In order to better connect with local communities or to address a particular issue, CNU highly values collaborations and partnerships with other entities both inside and outside the university. Typically led by External Affairs and International Linkages, CNU has worked together with many barangays (e.g. Nangka, Sunog, and Gaas). The E-HELP program, particularly, was a collaborative effort of all the campuses of CNU.
CNU also values strong partnership with other state universities from both inside and outside the country. The university is active in organizing and participating in collaborative events such as the National Field Exposure Study Trip (N-FEST), the Silico Study, and outreach programs like with the Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta for educational and charity work.
