Transfer Students
If you are transferring from another U.S. institution, you can request that your I-20 be transferred to UWF.
After you complete the Proof of Identity and Financial Support form, International Student and Scholar Services will send you the International Student Transfer Form. You need to contact your current international student advisor to submit the transfer form and set a transfer release date that works with your travel schedule.
