When an F-1 student changes his /her academic program objective (major) or applies for a
second degree, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) must be informed of
the change. This notification must be accomplished during the first 15 days of enrollment in
the new program; therefore, as soon as possible, the student must request a new Certificate
of Eligibility (I-20), which reflects the new academic program objective.
The student should bring the following documents to the Office of International Admissions
and Recruitment:
Completed I-20 Request Form
Copy of the Certificate of Eligibility (I-20).
Copy of the “Request to Change Program Objective Form”
A letter from an Academic Advisor or Program Chair to verify the student’s
date of graduation from Palm Beach State College.
Proof of the student’s ability to pay for his/her living and educational expenses
while attending Palm Beach State College. The student must provide a letter
from his/her or sponsor‘s financial institution showing a minimum balance of
$24,000.00. Students using sponsors must submit a notarized Affidavit of
Financial Support Form signed by his/her sponsor along with the letter from the
sponsor’s financial institution.
The Office of International Admissions will issue a new Certificate of Eligibility (I-20) based on
the above information. If you have any questions or concerns regarding your Change of
