Transferring Out

Steps to Transfer out of Texas Wesleyan to another U.S. school:

1) The school to which you are applying will give you a form, often called a Transfer Clearance Form. You will give this form to Texas Wesleyan's International Student Advisor to complete.

This form does not require that you go to that school. It does not transfer your SEVIS electronic file to the new school.

2) When you are positive that you will transfer out, you will inform the International Student Advisor at Texas Wesleyan prior to the end of the last semester of attendance, if possible, but no later than the 60-day grace period following. The International Student Advisor will then transfer the SEVIS electronic file to the new school at the end of the academic term.

3) When the new school has received the electronic file, they can issue the new I-20 for you. You must obtain an I-20 within 60 days of completing studies at Texas Wesleyan, and you must be enrolled at the new school within 5 months of completing studies at Texas Wesleyan University.

4) If you are traveling outside the U.S. after your completion of studies at Texas Wesleyan University, you must use the I-20 from the new school to enter the U.S. If there are time constraints, please contact the new school to discuss method of getting the new I-20 to you.
