International Students
Any student who wants to succeed in the U.S. can take advantage of our extensive business courses. International students* must follow a few extra steps to enroll in the CSI program. Keep reading for a full list of requirements.
* An international student is any student who is not a citizen or permanent resident of the United States and its territories.
In addition to the standard requirements, international student applicants must complete the following steps:
- Submit an International Student Application for Admission. The form can be found here: Application Form Request.
- Pay a $100 non-refundable transfer fee.
- Send a bank statement.
- Give a personal statement (must be signed and stamped by the bank if from a non-USA bank).
- If you will be financially supported by a U.S. citizen or resident or someone outside of the U.S., submit an Affidavit of Support and a support letter from a bank, parent, guardian, sponsor, or government agency and their original most recent bank statement. Make sure that the support form lists the supporting funds that cover your tuition, cost of living, and at least $3,000 for each dependent who is listed on the I-20.
- Submit original and English translations of official transcripts or diplomas from secondary schools and colleges attended.
- Submit a CSI Transfer Form, filled out and signed by your current Designated School Official.
Computer Systems Institute will issue a new I-20 form upon receiving all necessary documents and fees as described above.
Please note: CSI accepts payments made by certified check or money order drawn on a U.S. bank and payable in U.S. dollars or by credit card. We recommend that you start the process at least 30 days before the target class start date.
