Transferring Your F-1 SEVIS Record to Montclair State University
If you are coming from another U.S. institution and you are already in the United States, you will have to have to transfer your SEVIS record to Montclair.
Next steps for SEVIS transfer students coming from another U.S. institution:
- Reach out to your international student advisor at your current institution to make them aware that you intend to enroll at Montclair State University. The Montclair information is as follows:
SEVIS School Name: Montclair State University
SEVIS School Code: NEW 214F01039000
- If you need to provide proof of admission to Montclair, you can access your admissions letter in your admissions portal. Montclair does not have a transfer in form.

- Once your current academic program or OPT ends, your current institution will release your SEVIS record to us. We cannot issue your new I-20 until your SEVIS record is released to us. We will be notified of this transfer, so there is no need to contact us to confirm unless you are traveling outside the USA.
- Once your I-20 is issued, we will contact you with instructions on how to download it.
- IMPORTANT : The document we issue will be called a “transfer pending” I-20.
- You will be required to complete Montclair’s immigration check in process, even if you have been in the United States for a while. Once you complete all of your orientation and check-in procedures, we will activate your SEVIS record. At this time, you can submit a request (through my global portal) for a “continued attendance” I-20.
