Transferring Out of the IEC

If you wish to attend another school or English program, you will have to request a transfer from IEC to that school. Please be aware of these important facts:

  • While you may apply to several schools, you must select the school you will attend before requesting a transfer of your SEVIS record.
  • Once your SEVIS record is released (transferred), we will no longer have access to make any changes to your SEVIS record.
  • We cannot complete a transfer without proof of acceptance from the new school.
  • Your SEVIS record must be transferred out NO LATER than 60 days from the last day of your attendance of the IEC.

If you've been admitted to a U.S. institution and wish to have your SEVIS record transferred, you must complete the Transfer Out Request in accessVIS and upload the following items to when prompted:

  1. Acceptance Letter issued by the U.S. school or institution you wish to transfer to.
  2. A receipt from Student Accounts showing all outstanding balances have been paid. Need help finding your Paperless Billing Statement Click here!
  3. ‘Transfer In’ form from new school/program (if applicable).
