Know Before You Go:

Testing Center Policies - No exams will be given out an hour before closing.  All students will be asked to sign the Testing Center Agreement before taking an exam.

Connection, community, acceptance-- people experience far more success in school and work when these are in place.  CSI Counseling Services offers Licensed Professional Counselors to help our students take the best care of their emotional and mental health.

Sometimes people only need one or two sessions to work through an issue they’re struggling with, and other times they might need more. This is a safe zone to be as honest and real as you want, without judgment, and it’s completely confidential.  And, if you're wondering how much this is going to cost, don't worry. Personal counseling is free to currently registered CSI students.

Additionally, CSI Counseling Services regularly provides information about health and wellness to all students, as well as offering workshops to help you gain important skills like avoiding test anxiety.

Counseling Services are located upstairs on the East side of the Taylor Building. Please call 208-732-6260 or drop by our office for more information or to schedule an appointment.  We can even schedule virtual appointments using web conferencing.  More information can also be found on the CSI Counseling Services website.

The mission statement of the CSI Safety Committee is to "promote campus-wide awareness of safety issues, help to assess safety concerns on campus and to facilitate their resolution."

For more details go to the CSI Safety Committee webpage.

If you're thinking you need a little extra help, then you're not alone! We have helped many students through several CSI programs designed to give our students the boost you may need to succeed in classes and achieve your educational goals.  

Our College & Career Readiness Program will help you hone the skills you will need for your chosen career or course of study. We offer no-cost instruction in reading, writing, and math.  English classes for speakers of other languages are also offered at no cost for individuals who are at least 16 years old to learn to speak, read, and write English. All College & Career Readiness program classes are offered both day and night on our main Twin Falls campus, and night-only classes are available at CSI off-campus sites.

If you have questions about these programs, you can call 208-732-6534 to learn more or visit the College & Career Readiness website.

CSI works to provide resources for currently enrolled parenting students, including offering on-campus childcare facilities and opportunities for students to gain access to funds that will help cover childcare costs, including scholarships.

CSI's Early Childhood Education Learning Center Located conveniently on campus between the Expo Center and the CSI Baseball Field, this center provides services for children of students, faculty, and staff, and is designed to meet the developmental needs of young children six months through five years of age. Teachers have a degree in Early Childhood Education, attend yearly training, and maintain current First Aid/CPR certification. Childcare supportive services funding is available for low-income and middle-income families, through the Idaho Child Care Program (ICCP).

We aim to help veterans transition to successful civilian careers through higher education and providing resources within the CSI campus and local community.

If you are a student veteran, know how very grateful we are for the sacrifices you and your family have made for our country! We make it a priority at CSI to help make the educational experience for student veterans and military-connected students a success.

We have several resources available to you, including a full time Veteran's Advocacy Coordinator.  

We may assume a disability is something obvious, like the need to use a wheelchair.  The reality is that many disabilities are not visible.  A disability is defined as a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activity.  Here are some examples of disabilities we work to help students with:

• learning disabilities
• anxiety disorders
• ADHD
• visual or hearing impairments
• other disabilities

We are located upstairs on the East side of the Taylor Building. Please contact us at 208-732-6260, or drop by our office for further information or to schedule an appointment. More information and an intake form are also available on our student Accessibility Services website.

Along with the many new things you are experiencing as a new or returning student, we invite you to look for ways to expand your horizons and live beyond going to class, studying, and taking exams. College is an excellent opportunity to grow as an individual and discover who you are, and being involved in activities beyond the classroom is an important part of your college experience.

We have many student organizations where you can meet new friends, pursue recreational or educational activities, gain valuable leadership experience or just connect with others who share your interests. Some of your best memories of college will be the interesting events and fun-filled activities you will enjoy outside of class!

CSI has more than 30 local and national clubs and organizations where you can pursue your interests, leadership skills, teamwork, cooperation, and communication. Organizations with a national affiliation generally promote educational and professional development. Other clubs, formed locally, encourage members to pursue cultural, recreational, religious, service, and social interests. These clubs and organizations sponsor and plan most of the activities and social functions on campus. All organizations must be recognized by the college and have an employee Advisor.

Here are just a few of the clubs you can find on campus:

• Agriculture Club
• Art Club
• Dance Club
• Bellegarth Club
• Gay Straight Alliance
• Generation Action Club
• HOSA (Health Science Education)
• HTEC (Hospitality, Tourism and Events Club)
• NAfME (National Association of Music Educators)
• National Society of Leadership & Success
• Student Nursing Association
• Phi Theta Kappa (National Honor Society)
• Renewable Energy Club
• S.T.E.M. Club
• Students for Life
• United Signers Club (American Sign Language club)
• Veteran’s Association
