The Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) extended the temporary guidance to apply for the Fall 2021 semester. This guidance allows all continuing international students to take the fall semester fully online in the US or abroad.

Therefore, if you are planning to complete your Fall 2021 coursework from your home country, you will not be penalized to return to the U.S. for Spring 2022. We are closely monitoring to keep students' SEVIS records "active."

Plan to arrive in Las Vegas for your orientation program approximately two weeks before the start of the semester. The exact date will vary depending on the semester. Check the academic calendar for Spring 2021 for updates.

The international airport in Las Vegas is McCarran International Airport. There are several transportation options available from the airport to your new home in Las Vegas.

Housing

CSN does not have on-campus housing. Students generally choose between one of two options for housing:

1. Homestays (students will live with a U.S. host family in their home and have your own room)
2. Apartments (student rent a single or shared apartment)

We encourage you to explore your new home, neighborhood and everything Las Vegas has to offer in the Student Life section.

A mandatory Student Orientation Week for our new students is hosted as an introduction to CSN and offers an opportunity to meet other new students. Before you can attend an orientation in person, you must complete the following:
