Student Orientation
We understand that as a new CSI student you have questions. You may be looking for opportunities to meet other students and to become familiar with CSI resources that can help you. You may feel you have tasks to complete but are not sure where to start.
We have prepared multiple opportunities for you to complete new student orientation in the way you choose. Students planning to take courses at the main campus in Twin Falls are encouraged to attend a Face-to-Face orientation. Students taking courses at an off-campus center located in Hailey, Jerome, Gooding, and Burley or students taking online courses are encouraged to register for a Live Webinar orientation. If you are unable to attend the recommended orientation, choose the path that works best for you. We invite you to come prepared with your questions, ready to meet other students, and learn about how you can achieve your goals as a member of our CSI community.
Face-to-Face Orientation
Students planning to take courses at the main campus in Twin Falls are encouraged to attend a Face-to-Face orientation. However, all students who prefer an in-person orientation may register for this option.!
Need to apply, meet with an enrollment specialist, register for classes, learn how to pay for college? Our staff will be on hand at every event to answer all of your questions and help introduce you to resources that can help you.
In addition, new CSI students will have the chance to tour our beautiful campus, meet new friends, and participate in fun activities! Light refreshments will be provided and all students will receive CSI swag!

Online Orientation on my Time
Online orientation is an important resource created to help new CSI students succeed, delivered asynchronously via the web to enable a high degree of choice and accessibility. In this way, you can complete orientation on your own time, whenever it is convenient. Once you are admitted as a new CSI student and have received your CSI login credentials, with a few simple steps you can self-enroll in online orientation using Canvas, our campus learning management system.
Please note – online orientation is currently under development and will be deployed the first week of October 2021.
