Request a Transfer-In I-20 as a Current F-1 Student

We are excited for you to start your education at Marymount University! If you are a student with a valid F-1 student visa and you currently hold a Form I-20 from another U.S. institution, you must arrange for the electronic transfer of your SEVIS record from your previous school to Marymount University and obtain an “Transfer Pending” I-20 from Marymount.

REQUEST A TRANSFER PENDING I-20

Steps to request a Transfer Pending I-20 issued by Marymount University:

  1. Confirm online through your admission portal that you plan to attend Marymount University and pay the enrollment deposit. Read your admission information for instructions.
  2. Wait 3-5 business days for your enrollment deposit to clear. Your enrollment deposit must clear before you will be able to establish your student accounts and MU credentials.
  3. Create your Marymount student accounts. If you are creating your accounts while out of the U.S. and you do not have a U.S. phone number, the Office of Information Technology Services (ITS) recommends that you select the Okta App option for two-factor authentication. Do not use a non-U.S. phone number when signing up for two-factor authentication.
  4. You must already have an activated Marymount student ID and email account before you will be able to proceed with the online I-20 request process. If you have difficulty establishing your Marymount student email account, contact its@marymount.edu for assistance; include your student ID.
  5. Once your Marymount student email account is established, the Office of International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) will invite you to request your I-20 through the online ISSS portal. You will be contacted through your Marymount student email account.
  6. Follow the instructions sent from ISSS to your Marymount student email account. Log in to the ISSS portal to answer all questions within the online form, including providing your non-U.S. address, city of birth, etc.  Upload required documents through the “Create I-20” request:
  • Copy of passport (must be valid at least 6 months beyond your planned program start date)
  • Declaration of Finances (signed by the student and individual funding sponsor, if any)
  • Proof of Funding (documents must meet Marymount’s requirements)

+ then upload additional required documents through the “Transfer” request:

  • Copy of visa or previous visa
  • Most Recent I-94 (travel record, not travel history)
  • Previous school I-20

You must click Submit for ISSS to be notified of your request. Once received, allow ISSS up to 10 business days for review and processing. If we have questions or need more information, we will mark your request status as ‘Clarification Requested’ and contact you through your Marymount student email account. Once issued, you will be able to download your I-20 from your ISSS portal to print and sign.

Note: The Marymount University SEVIS Code is WAS214F00223000 Marymount University Main Campus.

If you are a Transfer-In Pending F-1 student and you need to renew your visa, see instructions for Travel and Visa Renewal (coming soon).
