±¬ÁϳԹÏÍø

Students must maintain valid F-1 status at their current institution to be eligible for a SEVIS transfer-in (form I-20) to ±¬ÁϳԹÏÍø. This includes students who are enrolled full-time, on OPT, or within their grace period.

To begin the transfer, contact your current DSO immigration advisor and select a SEVIS release date (send record to ±¬ÁϳԹÏÍø CLE214F00211000). Choose a date that aligns with your academic schedule, travel or work plans, and ±¬ÁϳԹÏÍø start term.

On the release date, your SEVIS record will be electronically transferred to Cleveland State. After that, ±¬ÁϳԹÏÍø advisors can access your record. To receive your new I-20, you must submit updated financial documents to CISP. Your previous school’s I-20 becomes invalid once the transfer is complete. 

You will receive a continued-attendance I-20 from ±¬ÁϳԹÏÍø within 30 days of your program start date.

Note: CISP does not complete SEVIS transfer forms or require a transfer-in form. All necessary information can be found on your current immigration documents, including your I-20.
