How to Transfer as an International Student

  1. Submit your International student application
    Applications submitted before the deadline are processed within a week
  2. Submit transfer form
    As a transfer student, you will need to submit the Transfer Form which is page 5 in the application.
  3. Submit documentation
    Submit the appropriate documentation based on your situation. To determine which documents we need you to submit, please refer to the list provided on the application.
  4. Review process
    Once we have received your documents we will review them and provide you an admission answer within a week of receiving your completed documents.
  5. Acceptance letter
    We will issue your Acceptance letter so that you can present that letter to your advisor at your current school.
  6. Issuing I-20
    Once your advisor has received the acceptance letter they will be able to release your SEVIS record to Chemeketa so that we can prepare your new I-20. Please keep in mind that, unless you are traveling outside of the U.S., we will be providing you with your new I-20 during the mandatory orientation days.
