Transfer from another school

This school information is not legal advice. Individual eligibility and current immigration requirements must be confirmed with official U.S. government sources or qualified counsel. Only a U.S. consular officer decides on visa issuance; USCIS decides change-of-status applications.

1. 1

   Contact Admissions and submit an application.

2. 2

   Prepare passport, entry visa, I-94, previous I-20s, financial evidence, translated diploma and previous transcript. If applicable, include I-797, DS-2019 and dependent documents.

3. 3

   After acceptance, the new DSO issues an acceptance letter and transfer form for your current school.

4. 4

   Your current school releases the SEVIS record; the new DSO can then issue the new I-20.

5. 5

   Report to the new school within 15 days after the release date. Take the placement test, receive your schedule and arrange tuition.

Fees and document guidance

The older admissions instructions list application $100, registration $60 and dependent I-20 $50. The 2026 catalog instead lists registration $50. Confirm all fees with Admissions. The source requests passports valid at least two months beyond the intended study period; confirm current travel-document rules with the appropriate authorities.
