Transfer F-1 SEVIS Record to a New Institution

If you plan to start a new full-time program of study at a different SEVP-certified school after your post-completion OPT ends, you must speak with an International Center advisor to plan a timeline for your F-1 SEVIS transfer Links to an external site.. Setting the “release date” of your SEVIS record to the new school will be determined during this appointment.

*You must start the new program within 5 months of ending your OPT to be eligible to transfer your SEVIS record to a new institution.
