An F-1 Transfer-In Student is a student who has been studying at another college or
university in the US, and intends to transfer to Suffolk County Community College
for study.
After being accepted by Suffolk County Community College, students are required to
bring their current Designated School Official (DSO), the following information in
order to complete the transfer out process:
Acceptance letter from Suffolk County Community College
Transfer Recommendation Form from Suffolk County Community College
After receiving documentation of the student’s request to transfer to Suffolk County
Community College, the student’s current school will determine a SEVIS transfer release
date and transfer out the student’s record. Once the student’s SEVIS record is released,
Suffolk County Community College can issue a new SEVIS Form I-20 (Certificate of Eligibility
for Nonimmigrant F-1 Status).
Once you receive a SEVIS Form I-20 from Suffolk County Community College, return the
new SEVIS Form I-20 to the Counselor /DSO at Suffolk County Community College within
15 days after beginning attendance.
Note to transfer-in students: Official transcripts from all previously attended U.S. institutions must be sent
to Suffolk County Community College.
