Important Deadlines

Because I-20 or DS-2019 issuance and visa application takes time, it is important to submit your Graduate Admission I-20 or DS-2019 request as early as possible.

  • If you have been admitted to a graduate program for fall semester, it is recommended that you submit your request as soon as you confirm admission and no later than June 15th.
  • If you have been admitted to a graduate program for spring semester, it is recommended that you submit your request as soon as you confirm admission and no later than November 15th.
  • If you have been admitted to the summer term ACE-G program, it is recommended that you submit your request no later than April 15th.

Change of Degree Level

If you are currently an enrolled student at Miami who will start a graduate or combined program, you still need to request an I-20 or DS-2019 for your new degree.

Follow the instructions and submit the same form as detailed above. However, there are some timing considerations. ISSS must receive and approve your request before:

  • The end of your grace period if you successfully completed your original degree program before or by your visa document expiration date

OR

  • The expiration of your current visa document if you will not complete your original degree program in time

AND

  • By the admission term and start of your graduate or combined degree.

As a result, ISSS strongly recommends that you consult with an advisor and submit your request as soon as you gain admission to your new graduate degree program or combined graduate degree program.
