April 2006 Q and A on transfers for F students from ICE (U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement)

 This SEVP Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) is written for designated school officials (DSOs) and provides information about how to transfer the record of an F-1 student from one DHS certified school to another. The FAQ also provides guidance for DSOs to provide students during the transfer process. Lastly, the FAQ concerns the transfer of SEVIS records only and should not be confused with the academic transfer of a student’s transcript. The electronic SEVIS records, while created and updated by schools, are U.S. government records.
