F-1 Student Transfer Process
You may decide to transfer to a four-year university or to another educational program after completing your studies at Fullerton College or completing Optional Practical Training. You must transfer to a new school within 60 days of the last term attended.
It is important to discuss your plans with the counselor in order to receive guidance on:
- Eligibility requirements for transfer
- Deadlines to remember
- Applications and other documents needed
- Length of stay in the U.S. before your new transfer school begins
- Travel outside the U.S. after transfer from Fullerton College
Steps to transfer out your SEVIS record:
- Visit the ISC
- Complete a “Student Request” form to transfer
- Submit a copy of the acceptance letter from your new school
- Sign the ISC waiver allowing release of your SEVIS record to your new school
- Complete the ISC exit survey
