Looking for a quality, affordable American education that will open academic and professional doors? We've got you covered. Follow our comprehensive guide to make your transfer process smooth and stress-free, while maintaining your F-1 visa status and securing a bright academic future.

Transfer Steps

When transferring from San Jacinto College to another institution, it's crucial to follow the necessary steps for a smooth and successful transition.

Earning an associate degree before transferring offers numerous advantages. However, if that's not feasible, International Student Services can tailor a plan to help you achieve your goals.

  1. Consult with International Student Services

    • Your current San Jacinto College program
    • Transfer objectives and questions, assisting you in developing an action plan
    • Your existing SEVIS record to assess your F-1 status and crucial dates
    Remember that dates and deadlines are of utmost importance. You have a 60-day grace period to transfer out after a semester ends. Make sure not to exceed this period, as it may result in termination of your F-1 status. To maintain F-1 status, transfer to an SEVP approved institution

  3. Transfer Out

    After receiving your acceptance letter, submit it to International Student Services, including your full name and San Jac student ID number (G#). An international acceptance letter is required unless the institution doesn't provide one.
