Important update for CSI students

A new federal rule that started on July 11, 2025, says that only U.S. citizens, U.S. non-citizen nationals, and certain legally approved immigrants can take specific CSI classes.

What do I need to do?

  1. Schedule a meeting with a CSI Enrollment Specialist or any off-campus center
  2. Bring one of the following documents to your meeting to show your eligibility:
    • U.S. Passport
    • U.S. Birth Certificate
    • REAL ID-compliant ID card (also called a “STAR Card” Driver’s License)
    • DHS SAVE (Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements) ID document
    • Other DHS paperwork showing immigration status

  3. Once you’re verified, you’re all set! No other steps are needed.

Note: CSI staff will not keep, copy, or collect your documents. They will just look at them and mark your record as verified.

Limited and Selective Entry Programs

Many of the CTE programs at CSI have competitive or limited enrollment, which means there may be additional steps or requirements to complete your application. It is best to meet with an advisor of the program as soon as you know you are interested.

Application deadlines vary. Please review program webpages for application information.
