Denver Seminary

11 Denver Seminary orientations (these take place the week before classes start); and Allowing yourself sufficient time to get settled. Transfer students A transfer student is a student coming to Denver Seminary from another school in the U.S. To maintain your legal immigration status, there are specific procedures you must follow to transfer your I‐20 to Denver Seminary. A transfer student must be able to begin classes within five months of transferring out of the current school or within five months of the program completion date on his or her I‐20, whichever comes first. The electronic "Transfer Out" request in SEVIS must occur within the sixty‐day grace period of completing studies at the first institution, so the student MUST request a transfer out during this period. Notify the international student advisor at your current school that you intend to transfer to Denver Seminary. The advisor will set a SEVIS release date when your SEVIS record will transfer to Denver Seminary. This date is usually the last day of enrollment at your current school. F‐1 transfer students should work closely with the Foreign Student/Immigration Offices at both schools to ensure that they maintain your status. Register for your classes no later than Friday of the second week of the semester to complete your transfer. Transferring your SEVIS record A Transfer Eligibility Form must be completed by students who are residing in the U.S. and who have studied or are studying at a school in the U.S. prior to coming Denver Seminary. It must be sent to the institution from which you are transferring the current I‐20. For example, if you received an I‐20 to study at the University of Colorado, you would need to send a completed transfer eligibility form to the University of Colorado to transfer your I‐20 to Denver Seminary. Travel during transfer Transfer students may travel and reenter the U.S. anytime between school programs. However, transfer students must reenter with their Denver Seminary I‐20, and not the previous school's document. If you have any questions or concerns about transfer procedures, when you will receive your I‐20, or travel during transfer, please contact the Student Care Specialist, Arielle Sigler. Additional student requirements What to do when you arrive at Denver Seminary Upon arrival at Denver Seminary, each international student should report in person within one business day to the Student Life and Enrollment Management Office at Denver Seminary.
