International students in F-1 visa status who plan to transfer from Denison University to another U.S. institution must submit a formal SEVIS Transfer Out Request to International Student Support. Your SEVIS record will only be transferred once this request has been reviewed and approved.
Please complete and submit this request by emailing Dr. Buckwalter (buckwalterc@denison.edu) or Dr. Akinkugbe (akinkugbem@denison.edu) after you have received official admission to your new school. If your plans change, you must notify International Student Support prior to the SEVIS release date. After that date, Denison will no longer have access to your SEVIS record, and any updates or changes will need to be coordinated directly with your new institution.
In order to process your withdrawal from Denison University, you must complete the General Withdrawal Form. This informs the university that you will no longer be a student at Denison and you will be removed from university billing, housing assignments, registered courses, etc. Please complete Denison's General Withdrawal Form prior to this SEVIS transfer out request.
If you are part of the Denison pre-engineering 3+2 program, please complete this form to ensure that Denison University knows the reason you are transferring is because of your participation in the pre-engineering program.
Our office is here to support you during this process, feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns at globalprograms@denison.edu.
Please allow 3-5 business days for processing immigration-related requests. If you need to resubmit this request for any reason, the processing timeline will restart from the date of the new submission.
