1) How long would it take to transfer between universities for International Student?
It doesn’t take long. After you get admit from the university, it would take less than 1 week ( max ) for the entire transfer process. Some schools it might just take few hours. Continue reading about the process involved.
2) What is the university transfer process for International Students?
- Step 1: Apply for admission to different Universities
- Step 2: University issues Official Admission Letter. Take that letter to your current school International Office and apply for transfer. You will be typically asked to fill out a form and submit a copy of your admission letter.
- Step 3: After transfer is approved in your current school, they will do SEVIS transfer to your new school and send confirmation by mail or fax to new University International Student Office.
- Step 4: After the new University gets the SEVIS Transfer confirmation, they will issue you new I-20.
3) How many course credits can be transferred?
This depends on the school. So, school will allow upto 9 credits above grades B can be transferred. Talk to you school IO Adviser to find about he credits transfer policy.
