Transfers

For purposes of U.S. immigration, students transfering to UVA from abroad who have not held any student status in the U.S. are treated the same as new students.

Students already in the U.S. in F-1 status who are transferring to UVA must work with their current school's Designated School Official to have their SEVIS record released to UVA. Students tranferring to UVA must also provide documentation of continued eligibility for F-1 status including documentation of adequate funding. Current F-1 students should also have their current Designated School Official complete the Foreign Student Advisor Report.

F-1 students transfering out of UVA must complete the SEVIS Transfer Release Form and bring it to the ISO during office hours.
