Check if it's there. Simply type "csh". If it starts, it's installed.
Go to YaST, user management section, and change your shell from bash
to csh there.

If it's not installed, install it in YaST software manager first.

Installing you do with YaST. Software, Software management.
Making it default, you do with YaST. Security and Users, User and group
management, select user you want to have csh and go to Edit. Next to
Details and select /bin/csh.

You can make a selection there or select anything you want. E.g. I once
had a login 'adventure' and a password 'adventure' and that user had
instead of /bin/bash or any of the other options
/usr/local/bin/login_adventure.sh and that contained:
#!/bin/bash
clear
if [ ! -e .lockfile ]
then
touch .lockfile
/usr/games/adventure
rm .lockfile
else
echo "Sorry, somebody is already playing."
fi

kill -9 $$

What that did was run /usr/games/adventure when you logged in. A second
person would not be able to log in and /usr/games/adventure was the only
thing you could run.
