Transfer SEVIS Record (I-20)

Transfer-In to ACC from Another School

If you are a prospective F-1 international student looking to transfer into ACC, please review the application requirements as an F-1 Transfer student. Visit the International Student Application Requirements for more information.

ACC does not have a Transfer-In form. Please contact your DSO to transfer your SEVIS record to ACC: Highland (School SEVIS Code: SNA214F01600018) after being admitted to ACC.

Transferring with a Terminated or Completed SEVIS Record

The International Student Office, reserves the right to deny a student’s request for an ACC Reinstatement Form I-20 based on a terminated, completed or otherwise deactivated SEVIS record. The International Student Office will consider a Transfer F-1 student’s reinstatement request only if the student provides sufficient evidence to support the reinstatement petition. Students interested in applying for reinstatement with USCIS should contact [email protected] with a detailed letter explaining the following:

• Explain the circumstances that resulted in your F-1 status being terminated.
• Explain why you are interested in enrolling at ACC and how an ACC education will help you meet your educational objective.
• A statement from your previous DSO explaining when and why your SEVIS record was terminated.

Students with a deactivated SEVIS record may also have the option to travel outside the U.S. to make a re-entry with a new I-20. F-1 students must have a valid F-1 visa, or renew the F-1 visa outside the U.S., prior to re-entering the U.S.

SEVIS Transfer-Out of ACC to Another Institution

If you are planning to attend a new institution, ACC will transfer your SEVIS record after you have been accepted to another SEVP-certified institution. Steps to transfer your SEVIS record:

1. Apply to another SEVP-certified institution before your I-20 end date.
   • Work with a Transfer Specialist who will help you explore transfer destinations, identify admissions requirements, and assist with your university application.
2. Complete the ACC SEVIS Transfer-Out Online Request Form.
   • You must indicate a Release Date which is the date ISO will send your SEVIS record to your new institution.
   • Submit a copy of your Acceptance Letter from the new institution showing which semester you have been admitted.

Your SEVIS record will be transferred to the new institution within 5 business days after ISO has received your completed documents. Contact your new institution for your new Transfer Pending I-20.
