International Students
International applicants are those students holding F, M, and J visas. This school is authorized under Federal law to enroll nonimmigrant students. International applicants whose first language is not English must demonstrate acceptable levels of English proficiency through an approved examination or institutional review in order to be admitted. Examples of approved examinations include TOEFL and IELTS (see http://www.csi.edu/international/prospectiveStudents/checklist.asp for specific scores) or demonstration of acceptable proficiency on the CSI ESL Placement exam. Additionally, students falling below levels of examination-defined proficiency or who are unable to provide placement information, may request a case-by-case institutional review, on the recommendation of an institutional faculty or staff member.
Submit the international student application for admission and meet the requirements specified below before an I-20 will be issued. Students must then submit the I-20 to the American Consulate to receive a student visa.
Submit official transcripts from high school, and all colleges attended
Submit TOEFL, IELTS or the CSI ESL placement exam scores.
Request a certification of finances and a bank statement in US dollars. This must be sent directly from your bank to the College.
