Transferring to Foothill College
You are considered an F-1 transfer student if either of these situations applies to you:
- You hold an I-20 from a language school, high school, college, or university in the United States, and you are completing (or have recently completed) your studies at that school in active F-1 status.
- You are completing OPT and you wish to transfer to Foothill to begin a new study program
after your OPT ends.
For concurrent enrollment (taking classes as a guest student at Foothill while maintaining your I-20 at another school) see here.
Follow these steps to successfully transfer your I-20 to Foothill College:
| Step 1 | Complete the International Student Application. After you are admitted, you will be able to access your admission letter through the admission portal. |
| Step 2 |
Submit a copy of your admission letter to your current school to request the transfer to Foothill College. Note: Foothill College does not require any transfer form to be completed by your current school.
|
| Step 3 |
Complete the I-20 Request Form on your admission checklist by logging into the admission portal. |
| Step 4 |
If you are eligible for transfer*, your current school will set a release date to transfer your I-20 electronically to Foothill. This date will be after your last day of classes at your current school and before the end of your 60-day program completion grace period.
|
| Step 5 |
Once your SEVIS record is released by your current school and received by Foothill College, your new I-20 will be processed and delivered to you electronically. |
*Foothill College does not accept Terminated or Completed SEVIS records.
