F-1 Transfer Out Form

  • F-1 regulations permit a student to transfer from one Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) approved school to another. There can be no more than a five (5) month gap between schools from the last date you attended, or the last day of your Optional Practical Thinking (OPT), whichever is later. OPT will terminate on the transfer release date and you cannot continue to work past the release date. The deadline to request a transfer is sixty (60) days after your program completion date or OPT end date, whichever is later.
