Overview

This KB reviews the process of transferring a student out to another school. This process can be completed for example if a student completes a degree program at your institution and has been accepted to a new degree program at another university. The transfer-out process would allow for the student to transfer their SEVIS ID to the new university in order to facilitate the new degree.

Transfer Out Request

The transfer out request comes out-of-the-box for all client sites in the Request Configuration page in ISSS Student. This request can be customized to fit the needs of your ISSS office. The out-of-the-box request will have the following SEVIS-mapped questions in a questionnaire:

Transfer Release Date
School/Campus Name
School Code
Remarks (Not SEVIS required)

Transfer Out Process (ISSS Admin Inititated)

Step 1: Navigate to the profile of the student who is transferring out.

Step 2: Click into the Request tab of the student profile and click the plus button in the Pending Requests section to start a new transfer out request.

Step 3: Once ready to approve, approve and Post to RTI.

Step 4: Process the transfer out in RTI Connect.

Once the transfer out has been processed in RTI Connect, Terra Dotta will scrape the RTI Connect info back to the system once SEVIS has processed it.
