F-1 Transfers
An F-1 student who is
maintaining status may transfer to another U.S. school by following
the procedures described below. An F-1 student who was not pursuing
a full course of study at the school he or she was last authorized
to attend is ineligible for transfer and must apply to the USCIS
for reinstatement with the assistance of the new school they wish
to attend. Alternatively, the student may obtain a new "initial
attendance" I-20 and gain a new F-1 status by re-entering the
U.S. These options should be discussed with an international
student advisor.
Transfer to Boston
University
F-1 students who are currently authorized to study at a school in
the U.S. other than Boston University, must first be admitted for
full-time study to BU and be issued a BU I-20 to transfer from their
current school.
Transfer from
Boston University
F-1 students who are in the U.S. on a Boston University I-20, but
wish to begin full-time study at another U.S. school, must notify
the ISSO of their intention to change schools.
