F-1 students who wish to transfer their SEVIS record to another school must do so within your 60-day grace period. For J-1 students, this must be done within the 30-day grace period after program end date on DS-2019.
In order to transfer from our programs to another U.S. school, please fill out a Transfer Out (F/J) request in the ISS Portal. You can find the request form in the Request & Document Center. On the request form, please indicate the name of the school to which you want to transfer, the date you wish your SEVIS record to be released to the new school and proof of your acceptance to the new school.
Once your SEVIS record is transferred out, we will no longer have access to your record. If you change your mind and wish to attend a different school, you must work with the school that receives your SEVIS record.
