School Transfer Information

(SEVIS school to 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 Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) and a "transfer out," and indicate the school to which the student intends to transfer and a release date. NOTE: NMU can only release your I-20 to one school.

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. Then at the request of the student, the designated school official of the current school may cancel the transfer request at any time prior to the release date.

As of the release date, the transfer school will be granted full access to the student's SEVIS record and then becomes responsible for that student.

The student is required to contact the designated school official at the transfer school within 15 days of the program start date listed on the SEVIS Form I-20.
