How do I transfer from another school to UCSB International Programs?

If you are studying on an F-1 visa at another U.S. school and you wish to apply to one of our UCSB International Programs, you will first need to apply and be accepted.

Once you are accepted to UCSB International Programs and pay your program tuition fees, you will fill out our Transfer In Form and submit it to the Immigration Advisor. We will use this information to coordinate the transfer of your I-20 in the SEVIS database to UCSB International Programs. Your former school may ask for a copy of your letter of acceptance prior to releasing your I-20.

Note that you must begin your studies at UCSB International Programs during the next available quarter, which can be no later than five months from the program end date at your previous school.
