3) For China, Vietnam, Russia, and Brazil programs, please send a clear copy of your passport, as well as any other documents mentioned in the program description. You can send later, but we will need them as soon as possible so we can send you the official “admission (confirmation) letter” to apply for your Visa. Please allow extra time for this document to arrive. Also, if you are only going over for a very short time ( 2 – 4 weeks), you may only need a “tourist visa” to enter the country.

4) Early registration is advised for all programs, especially those where you will need a visa. Deadlines are flexible date-ranges. See Question/Answer section of the Main Menu for program deadlines. CSA has an open-door, rolling admissions policy for all programs. We accept registrations up until the program is full. If close to the starting date, please contact CSA by e-mail or phone to ask if space is available. Many times, space is available.

5) If registering late, and the program starts within 3 weeks, then Enrollment Deposit Fee Required is required in order to quickly finalize confirmations. Wait till you receive an e-mail from CSA requesting payment.

  • NOTE: CSA has a open-door, rolling admissions policy for all programs…until filled. If close to the starting date, please contact CSA. Space may be available.
  • NOTE: Whiners and grumps need not apply. If you easily get upset and have difficulty adapting to new surroundings, then please do not apply. Going overseas requires the ability to adapt and be flexible.
