Transfer From UF

The process for transferring out of UF is:  

• Connect with a faculty member at another US institution to host your visit. 
• Work with the international students and scholars office at your new institution. They will have their own transfer-in procedures that you must complete.  
• Email your EVS advisor the UF transfer-out form and your new institution offer letter.  
• Upon approval, EVS will schedule the transfer of your SEVIS record.  
• The new institution will provide you with information on their check-in procedures.  

Required Documents 

New Institution Offer Letter:  

• This is required to evaluate if the SEVIS transfer request can be approved.  
• The letter must include a description of proposed program activities.  
• These activities must be consistent with your current activities at UF. 

UF Transfer-Out Form: 

• This form is required to confirm the logistics of the SEVIS transfer.  
• You must complete the top portion. 
• The RO/ARO at your new US institution must complete the “New Program Sponsor Information.” 
• The SEVIS transfer release date must be the same as the start date on your new institution's offer letter. 

If your new institution requires additional forms be completed by EVS for the transfer process, please email these forms to your EVS advisor or provide your EVS advisor's email to your new immigration advisor.
