F-1 Transfer Students
Transferring to Seminole State
An F-1 student is eligible to transfer to Seminole State College if they are in valid F-1 status at the time of transfer, are in good standing at their current institution, and have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher. F-1 students have 60 days after the completion of their program or the completion of their Optional Practical Training (OPT) to request a transfer to another institution.
There can be no more than a five-month gap between schools from the last date of attendance or the last day of OPT, whichever is later.

After your admission to Seminole State College is processed, you will need to complete a Transfer-In form with your current institution's DSO to arrange the transfer date of your SEVIS record and I-20.
