Transfer Students from U.S. Colleges or Universities

For Students Transferring from a U. S. college or university, the following is needed:

1. An LSCC International Admissions Application along with the $70.00 application fee.

2. Visa Clearance Form from LSCC completed by the previous school.

3. Official transcripts from the previous school must be requested to be sent directly to LSCCs Admissions Office. If the student successfully completed college-level English and/or Math, the student will not have to take the placement test.

4. A copy of current I-20 and I-94 card (both sides). Once in local area, the International Student Services Office needs to view the originals.

5. A copy of the picture page showing the expiration page in the students passport, along with a copy of the current visa, I-94 card and current I-20. Once in local area, the International Student Services Office needs to view the originals.

6. If the student did not complete a degree at the previous college or university, the student would need to prove successful completion of secondary education.

7. Proof of financial support. See this information at Financial Requirements.

8. Proof of Health/Accident Insurance. Download the Certificate of Compliance.

9. Once all of the above has been submitted, reviewed and accepted, the student must contact the current school to inform them of the intent to transfer to Lake-Sumter Community College. The current school will update the student's record on SEVIS to transfer out. The old school will indicate Lake-Sumter Community College as the new school and will set a release date. Once a release is completed by the old school, only then will LSCC be permitted to complete a new I-20 to "transfer in" the new student.
