If you are a J-1 student, please contact an international student adviser to discuss your transfer.

If you are an F-1 student, the process for transferring from one U.S. school to another is easy. Simply have your immigration record transferred from your current school to Mizzou following these steps.

1. Obtain admission to Mizzou through the Office of Admissions or Graduate School.
2. Follow your current school’s SEVIS transfer out process. Provide the Transfer to Mizzou form along with your Mizzou admissions letter as part of the process.
   • Discuss your SEVIS transfer date to Mizzou with your current school.
     • As of this date, you will be considered a Mizzou student and no longer a student at your current school.
     • The date must be after the end of a semester at your current school and no more than five months before the beginning of the next semester at Mizzou.
     • The date must be during the 60-day grace period after the completion date of your program or optional practical training.
     • Your employment authorization will end on your release date.
3. Submit your most recent I-20/DS-2019 and the Transfer to Mizzou form combined into one PDF.
   • Undergraduate students: Upload to your application status page.
   • Graduate students: Upload your transfer form to your Graduate School enrollment form, accessed from your Application Status page.
4. On your release date, SEVIS will electronically transfer your record to Mizzou through SEVIS.
5. If you indicated on your transfer form that you are traveling internationally, Mizzou will email your transfer-pending I-20 to your Mizzou email address. You must use your Mizzou I-20 when you re-enter the United States after your transfer release date. You will receive your transfer-completed I-20 after you complete the immigration check-in process.
