If you are an international student who wants to transfer from CCA to another school, you must request that ISS release your SEVIS record to your new school. Here are the next steps to request that your CCA SEVIS record be transferred to another school in active status:

• You must maintain your F-1 nonimmigrant status to CCA until the date you wish to transfer your SEVIS record.
• You must be accepted by another SEVP-certified US school and then submit the following information via the SEVIS Record Transfer-Out Request form, which is submitted in Workday for ISS to process:
  • Acceptance letter from the new school with program start date listed
  • Transfer-out date :
    • Choose a transfer release date based on your academic needs, travel, and program start date at the transfer-in school.
    • If you are transferring after completing your program at CCA, your transfer out date must be within 60 days of your program end date.
• On the transfer release date, the responsibility for your SEVIS record transfers to the DSO at your new school. ISS will no longer have access to the record to make changes or print a new Form I-20. CCA will have a 'Deactivated' record from this point.
• Once the transfer date has arrived, please contact your new school to learn more about the process of requesting your new I-20 from them. They cannot issue you the new I-20 until the SEVIS transfer date has arrived.
• You must be able to start classes at the new school within 5 months of the last date of attendance at CCA
