Transferring from 麻豆传媒映画出品 to another U.S. institution

Have you been admitted to a new school and wish to transfer your SEVIS record? Please read the following information and then contact us if you have questions or concerns. When choosing a new school, please consider the following.

Transfer-Out Documents:

To have your SEVIS record (I-20) transferred to a new school, you must request a personalized link to our transfer-out form. The following will be required to complete the process:

  1. Navigate to our Personalized Link Request and select the "Transfer Out - SEVIS Release Form" from the list. All fields of the transfer-out form must be filled in. Failure to provide the required information means your SEVIS record will not be transferred.
  2. Proof of your admission to the new school. In most cases, the student submits a copy of their admission letter as proof of admission. You will be required to upload your proof of admission while completing your SEVIS Release Form.

Other Documents:
The transfer-in school may have forms that require completion by an international student advisor/DSO at WSU. The forms will be completed and returned to the transfer-in school per the instructions on the forms.

Things to remember when transferring:

Employment

  • Any remaining work authorization is canceled once your SEVIS record is transferred to the new school. This includes; Optional Practical Training (OPT), Curricular Practical Training (CPT), and Severe Economic Hardship (SEH).
  • An F-1 student is allowed to work at the school maintaining his or her SEVIS record. As soon as you transfer out of WSU, you must stop working on the WSU campus.

Enrollment

  • If you have pre-enrolled at WSU for an upcoming semester, be sure to drop those classes. Enrollment is a financial obligation and you will be required to pay tuition even if you are not physically present in the classes.
  • You must begin your studies at the new school within five months of the last day you attended classes at WSU or in the new school's next available term, whichever comes sooner.
