Transferring Between Institutions

If you have maintained your status you may transfer to another college or university as long as you follow the proper procedures, and the new institution is permitted by the USCIS to enroll F-1 students. Plan ahead. Speak with the international-student advisor at the new institution to learn what information and papers may be required from your current institution. Inform your current international-student advisor that you are transferring. Report to your new international-student advisor as soon as you arrive on your new campus. The new international-student advisor will notify USCIS of your transfer. If you plan to leave the US during the transfer, consult your international-student advisor.
