This page is for students who are already in the United States on an F-1 visa, currently or recently studying at another SEVP-certified school, and who want to continue their education at Nobel University. Because you already have an active SEVIS record and I-20, your move to Nobel is called a SEVIS transfer — it lets you switch schools without leaving the country or paying the SEVIS fee again.
Just arriving from your home country and getting your first I-20? Please use the International Applicant page instead.
What you need to submit
- All standard admission and international student documents. These are the same documents required of every international applicant — see the full list on the International Applicant page (passport, proof of English proficiency, financial documents, and so on).
- F-1 Student Transfer Eligibility Form. This is how your current school confirms your status and agrees to release your SEVIS record to Nobel.
- Copies of your I-20 from every school you have attended.
How the transfer works
- Apply and get admitted. Complete your Nobel University application and submit the documents listed above.
- Release your SEVIS record. After you are admitted, complete the F-1 Student Transfer Eligibility Form with your current school and agree on a SEVIS transfer/release date. On that date, access to your record moves from your current school to Nobel.
- Receive your new I-20. Once your SEVIS record is released to us, Nobel issues your new “transfer pending” I-20 so you can begin your program here.
Good to know: Only one school can hold your SEVIS record at a time, so timing matters — coordinate your transfer date with your current school. The good news: you keep the same SEVIS ID number, you do not pay the $350 SEVIS fee again, and you may stay in the U.S. between programs.
Forms
