School transfer --  

  

(i) A student who is maintaining status may transfer to another Service
approved school by following the notification procedure prescribed in
paragraph (f)(8)(ii) of this section. However, an F-1 student is not permitted
to remain in the United States when transferring between schools or programs
unless the student will begin classes at the transfer school or program within
5 months of transferring out of the current school or within 5 months of the
program completion date on his or her current Form I-20, whichever is earlier.
In the case of an F-1 student authorized to engage in post-completion optional
practical training (OPT), the student must be able resume classes within 5
months of transferring out of the school that recommended OPT or the date the
OPT authorization ends, whichever is earlier. An F-1 student who was not
pursuing a full course of study at the school he or she was last authorized to
attend is ineligible for school transfer and must apply for reinstatement
under the provisions of paragraph (f)(16) of this section, or, in the
alternative, may depart the country and return as an initial entry in a new
F-1 nonimmigrant status. (Revised effective 1/1/03; 67 FR 76256)  

(ii) Transfer procedure. To transfer schools, an F-1 student must first notify
the school he or she is attending of the intent to transfer, then obtain a
Form I-20 A-B, issued in accordance with the provisions of 8 CFR 214.3(k),
from the school to which he or she intends to transfer. The transfer will be
effected only if the F-1 student completes the Student Certification portion
of the Form I-20 A-B and returns the form to a designated school official on
campus within 15 days of beginning attendance at the new school.  
  
(A) Non-SEVIS School to Non-SEVIS school. To transfer from one non-SEVIS
school to a different non-SEVIS school, the student must first notify the
school he or she is attending of the intent to transfer, then obtain a Form
I-20 issued in accordance with the provisions of 8 CFR 214.3(k) from the
school to which he or she intends to transfer. Prior to issuance of any Form
I-20, the DSO at the transfer school is responsible for determining that the
student has been maintaining status at his or her current school and is
eligible for transfer to the new school. The transfer will be effected only if
the student completes the Student Certification portion of the Form I-20 and
returns the form to a DSO of the transfer school within 15 days of the program
start date listed on Form I-20. Upon receipt of the student's Form I-20 the
DSO must note "transfer completed on (date)" in the space provided for the
DSO's remarks, thereby acknowledging the student's attendance at the transfer
school; return the Form I-20 to the student; submit the School copy of the
Form I-20 to Service's Data Processing Center within 30 days of receipt from
the student; and forward a photocopy of the school copy to the school from
which the student transferred. (Added effective 1/1/03; 67 FR 76256)  
  
(B) Non-SEVIS school to SEVIS school. To transfer from a non-SEVIS school to a
SEVIS school, the student must first notify the school he or she is attending
of the intent to transfer, then obtain a SEVIS Form I-20 issued in accordance
with the provisions of 8 CFR 214.3(k) from the school to which he or she
intends to transfer. Prior to issuance of any Form I-20, the DSO at the
transfer school is responsible for determining that the student has been
maintaining status at his or her current school and is eligible for transfer
to the new school. Once the transfer school has issued the SEVIS Form I-20 to
the student indicating a transfer, the transfer school becomes responsible for
updating and maintaining the student's record in SEVIS. The student is then
required to notify the DSO at the transfer school within 15 days of the
program start date listed on SEVIS Form I-20. Upon notification that the
student is enrolled in classes, the DSO of the transfer school must update
SEVIS to reflect the student's registration and current address, thereby
acknowledging that the student has completed the transfer process. In the
remarks section of the student's SEVIS Form I-20, the DSO must note that the
transfer has been completed, including the date, and return the form to the
student. The transfer is effected when the transfer school updates SEVIS
indicating that the student has registered in classes within the 30 days
required by ?214.3(g)(3)(iii). (Added effective 1/1/03; 67 FR 76256)  
  
(C) SEVIS school to SEVIS school. To transfer from a SEVIS school to a SEVIS
school the student must first notify his or her current school of the intent
to transfer and must indicate the school to which he or she intends to
transfer. Upon notification by the student, the current school will update the
student's record in SEVIS as a "transfer out" and indicate the school to which
the student intends to transfer, and a release date. The release date will be
the current semester or session completion date, or the date of expected
transfer if earlier than the established academic cycle. The current school
will retain control over the student's record in SEVIS until the student
completes the current term or reaches the release date. At the request of the
student, the DSO of the current school may cancel the transfer request at any
time prior to the release date. As of the release date specified by the
current DSO, the transfer school will be granted full access to the student's
SEVIS record and then becomes responsible for that student. The current school
conveys authority and responsibility over that student to the transfer school,
and will no longer have full SEVIS access to that student's record. As such, a
transfer request may not be cancelled by the current DSO after the release
date has been reached. After the release date, the transfer DSO must complete
the transfer of the student's record in SEVIS and may issue a SEVIS Form I-20.
The student is then required to contact the DSO at the transfer school within
15 days of the program start date listed on the SEVIS Form I-20. Upon
notification that the student is enrolled in classes, the DSO of the transfer
school must update SEVIS to reflect the student's registration and current
address, thereby acknowledging that the student has completed the transfer
process. In the remarks section of the student's SEVIS Form I-20, the DSO must
note that the transfer has been completed, including the date, and return the
form to the student. The transfer is effected when the transfer school
notifies SEVIS that the student has enrolled in classes in accordance with the
30 days required by ?214.3(g)(3)(iii). (Added effective 1/1/03; 67 FR 76256)  
  
(D) SEVIS school to non-SEVIS school. To transfer from a SEVIS school to a
non-SEVIS school, the student must first notify his or her current school of
the intent to transfer and must indicate the school to which he or she intends
to transfer. Upon notification by the student, the current school will update
the student's status in SEVIS as "a transfer out", enter a "release" or
expected transfer date, and update the transfer school as "non-SEVIS." The
student must then notify the school to which the he or she intends to transfer
of his or her intent to enroll. After the student has completed his or her
current term or session, or has reached the expected transfer date, the DSO at
the current school will no longer have full access to the student's SEVIS
record. At this point, if the student has notified the transfer school of his
or her intent to transfer, and the transfer school has determined that the
student has been maintaining status at his or her current school, the transfer
school may issue the student a Form I-20. The transfer will be effected only
if the student completes the Student Certification portion of the Form I-20
and returns the form to a designated school official of the transfer school
within 15 days of the program start date listed on Form I-20. Upon receipt of
the student's Form I-20 the DSO must do as follows: note "transfer completed
on (date)" in the space provided for the DSO's remarks, thereby acknowledging
the student's attendance; return the Form I-20 to the student; submit the
school copy of the Form I-20 to the Service's data processing center within 30
days of receipt from the student; and forward a photocopy of the school copy
to the school from which the student transferred. (Added effective 1/1/03; 67
FR 76256)  
  
(iii) Notification. Upon receipt of the student's Form I-20 A-B, the DSO must:

  
(A) Note "transfer completed on (date)" on the student's I-20 ID in the space
provided for the DSO's remarks, thereby acknowledging the student's
attendance;  
  
(B) Return the I-20 ID to the student;  
  
(C) Submit the I-20 School copy to the Service's Data Processing Center within
30 days of receipt from the student; and  
  
(D) Forward a photocopy of the Form I-20 A-B School Copy to the school from
which the student transferred.
