SEVIS Pre-Transfer Information Form
and Information about Transferring to the University of St. Thomas
Timeline for SEVIS Transfers
There can be up to a five-month gap between the end of your current classes or OPT and the start of your program start date at the
University of St. Thomas. The transfer must be initiated within 60 days of the end of your previous program or OPT, also known as the
“60-day grace period”. Failure to set up a transfer within that window will result in a violation of your F-1 status and most likely require
reinstatement, which is both costly and time intensive.
If the gap between the end of your previous program or OPT and the start the new program is more than 5 months, transferring is not an
option and you will need to exit the U.S. before the end of your 60-day grace period and re-enter no earlier than 30 days before the start
of the new program on a new I-20/SEVIS record.
Transferring During/After OPT
Any employment authorizations gained while your SEVIS record has been under the control of your current school will cease upon the
release of your SEVIS record to the University of St. Thomas. A Designated School Official (DSO) at your current school will set the release
date for your SEVIS record to transfer to the control of the University of St. Thomas. It is important that you discuss your plans with them
regarding your OPT employment to make sure that your record isn’t prematurely transferred, causing you to lose out on any
employment opportunities that you are expecting.
Transferring to the Correct Campus
The University of St. Thomas has two campuses in the Twin Cities and it is important to have your SEVIS record transferred to the correct
one. See the Table below for information on which campus you should transfer to.
