Transfer F-1 International Student Admissions Checklist
(Students who are currently enrolled at another U.S. institution and have a valid F-1 visa. This also includes students transferring directly to Blinn from an authorized English Language program and students with an F-1 visa at a U.S. authorized high school.)
Admissions Deadline:
All Initial Admission documents must be submitted to Blinn College before the F-1 international admissions deadline. An I-20 will not be issued until the student has completed the admissions process and the SEVIS record has been released to the Blinn College District. F-1 students receive a separate acceptance letter from the International Student Program. Students needing an acceptance letter for their school to transfer the SEVIS record should email the International Student Program. Please note that you must complete the initial admissions requirements to receive an acceptance letter.
