This section is for administrators. It provides information about the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) transfer process, contact information for the International Student & Scholar Services (ISSS) office, and other information pertaining to administrators for international UConn students. 

SEVIS Transfer

A student who comes to UConn after studying at another U.S. school can maintain valid F-1/J-1 visa status through the SEVIS transfer process. A SEVIS transfer occurs when the student's current school grants UConn access to their SEVIS record. UConn can then issue a Form I-20/DS-2019 for the student.

If a student qualifies for a SEVIS transfer, they would keep the same SEVIS number and may remain in the U.S. during the time between programs. The international office at the student's current school should advise them on whether they are eligible for a SEVIS transfer to UConn. Students should inform their current school's international office about their plans to attend UConn before they request their I-20/DS-2019 from UConn.
