Change of Campus

Students who wish to change their campus must complete the following tasks:

1. Verify eligibility.
   • There may be requirements concerning credits, GPA, and coursework that must be met in order to be eligible to change to the new campus. Typically these requirements must be met before the term you wish to change campuses.
2. Complete necessary forms.
   • Visit the One Stop website and complete the appropriate Change of Campus form.
3. Resolve all registration holds by connecting with necessary offices.
   • Typically international students relocating campuses may have registration holds from the following offices: Health Services or International Student and Scholar Services
4. Register for coursework.
   • Please plan to take the majority of your coursework at your new campus.

Because your I-20 or DS-2019 form lists your primary campus, if you change your campus, you must update your form.

Planning to Move Campuses? Update Your I-20!

Are you an F-1 student planning to change campuses within Miami University? To maintain your immigration status, you'll need to update your I-20 form to reflect your new location. This process ensures your enrollment information aligns with your visa record.

Here's a step-by-step guide to navigate the I-20 Change of Campus process:

Before the New Semester Begins

1. Submit the Change of Campus Form: Head over to the OneStop website and complete the Change of Campus form. This officially initiates the transition process.
2. Request Your I-20 Update: Submit the "Change of Campus I-20 Update Request" form through your InterLink account. Don't forget to include proof of funding for your new campus location (refer to the Estimated Expenses for Study for guidance).

Once Your Current Semester Ends

Our International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) advisor will review your completed steps and update your Change of Campus checklist accordingly.

When Your New Semester Starts

1. Transferring Your SEVIS Record: ISSS will initiate the transfer of your SEVIS record to the new campus. This record maintains your student information within the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS).
2. Completing the Change of Campus Transfer: This final step formally completes your campus transition within the university system.

Important Notes:

• Initiate Early! Submitting the Change of Campus form through OneStop and the I-20 Update Request well before the new semester ensures a smooth transition.
• Communication is Key: You'll receive automated emails from Slate with detailed instructions on submitting the InterLink form. If you encounter any issues, feel free to reach out to ISSS for assistance.
• Temporary vs. Permanent Change: If you're only changing campuses for a summer or winter term, you won't need to repeat this process for the following fall or spring semester. However, if the change is permanent, submit a new request for the subsequent semester.
