This article outlines the steps to cancel a SEVIS Record in initial status for a F/M student. Note that this action does not have its own dedicated record, but instead uses an existing questionnaire. This is because this action is admin-facing only - students will not cancel their own SEVIS-Initial record.

Step 1: Find Academic Objective Record

• Navigate to Record > Search.
• Enter the name of the student whose SEVIS-Initial status Academic Objective record you would like to cancel in SEVIS.

Step 2: Complete and Review SEVIS-Required Data

SEVIS-MAPPED QUESTION ITEMS

Admins should review, edit, or complete the required SEVIS-mapped Question Items in the user's Academic Objective Record:

QUESTIONNAIRES 

STATUS UPDATE: CANCEL/TERMINATE (F/M)

A) Program Cancel Reason - Select the reason for the cancellation from the drop-down menu.

B)  Program Cancel Remarks - Enter any remarks you wish to be included to SEVIS with the cancel update.

Step 3: Create SEVIS Update Record

When all fields are complete, you will create a SEVIS Update Record. For instructions on how to do this, see SEVIS Admin: Creating a SEVIS Update Record.
