Applying to SJCC is Easy!

F-1 Transfer Students

"I am currently studying on a F-1 visa and I am planning to transfer to SJCC from another U.S. college, high school or language program."

F-1 Transfer students must be in good academic and immigration standing at the previous school attended. If you are transferring from another school in the U.S. and already have an F-1 visa, you must complete the SEVIS Transfer Release Form provided in your admissions packet to transfer to our college. 


1. Follow the procedure above for New Students. 
   

2. In addition, submit a copy of current Form I-20, F1 visa, passport biographical information page, and  I-94 card. You can access your I-94 information on the official website. 

3. Submit a Statement of Purpose explaining why you wish to transfer SJCC and how it will help you achieve your educational and professional goals.
   
4. Submit the SEVIS Transfer Release Form to your current insitution.
• Your SEVIS record must be transferred within 60 days of the program end date at your previous school and at least 15 days before the start date of your program at SJCC. If you plan to travel outside of the U.S. before beginning your program at SJCC, please contact us to obtain an I-20 for re-entry purposes. Do not use your previous school’s I-20 to re-enter the U.S. 
  
Upon receipt of a complete application, the international admissions staff will review it. Admission decisions will be mailed within 2 weeks. Transfer students must be in good academic and immigration standing at the previous school attended.
