Looking for an affordable, high-quality American education that can help you with your career? We can help! Follow our easy guide to make transferring simple and stress-free, while keeping your F-1 visa status and ensuring a successful future.

Transfer Steps

When transferring from San Jac to another school, it's important to follow the right steps to make it easy.

Getting an associate degree before transferring helps, but if that's not possible, International Student Services can help make a plan to reach 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

  2. Research Your Transfer Destination

    • Make sure to check the admission deadlines and start the transfer process early.
    • Meet with the international office to learn what you need to do and what papers to submit.
    • Look for scholarships and financial aid for international students, like the Foreign TASFA in Texas.

  3. Transfer Out

    After you get your acceptance letter, send it to International Student Services. Be sure to include your full name and San Jac student ID number (G#). You need an international acceptance letter unless the school doesn't give one.

  4. Connect with the International Office

    Congratulations! Now is the time to review your next steps for advising and enrollment of classes with the international office at your new institution. Embrace this exciting chapter and set yourself up for academic success.
