To Do

Confirmation of Acceptance: You must provide written confirmation of your acceptance to a transferring institution. Please submit a copy of acceptance letter to International Student Center front desk (Harstad 112) or forward an acceptance email from the transferring institution's staff to iss@plu.edu.

Notification of Withdrawal: Students who are currently enrolled (and not graduating nor completing non-degree program) are also required to submit the Notification of Student Withdrawal form online to the Center for Student Success.

Transfer In Form: The new institution may ask you to submit a transfer in (transfer eligibility) form. ISS can assist you with the form. Please drop it off to International Student Center front desk (Harstad 112) or email it to iss@plu.edu.

I understand. I don't understand, I will ask questions to ISS.

Important Notes

OPT Students: If you are currently engaged in Post-Completion Optional Practical Training, please note that OPT authorization will end immediately upon a SEVIS record transfer.

Grace Period: If your program end date or OPT expiration is nearing or has been reached, please note that your new institution must accept your SEVIS record and issue you a transfer pending I-20 before your grace period expires.

New Program Start Date: Upon your SEVIS record transfer, you must begin a new program of study at the earliest possible date or within 5 months.

International Travel: If you have upcoming international travel plans, you must present the transfer pending I-20 from the new institution upon seeking re-admission to the U.S.

Applying for F-1 Student Visa: If you are already or going to be outside of the U.S. and will have an expired visa by the time you plan to return to the U.S., please be sure to apply for visa renewal using the transfer pending I-20 from the new institution.

I understand. I don't understand, I will ask questions to ISS.
