Information for Students Transferring To Monterey Peninsula College From Another U.S. Institution
The U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) requires a transfer process to track a student who attended one U.S. institution and is now applying for admission to another. This includes students who:
- Began a degree program at one school and wish to continue it at Monterey Peninsula College
- Completed an ESL program at one school and wish to begin academic studies at Monterey Peninsula College
You may complete the transfer process by either:
- Leaving the United States and, if you are admitted to Monterey Peninsula College (MPC), using our I-20 to re-enter. The INS will complete the transfer procedure at the port of entry. Please note that the INS does not usually process a transfer if reentering after a short trip to Canada.
OR
- Remaining in the United States and completing the transfer notification at Monterey Peninsula College’s International Student Program (ISP) office. You must appear in person at the ISP office, Room IC-108 in the International Center within 15 days of the start of classes. Bring with you the following documents:
- Your Monterey Peninsula College I-20
- All previous I-20’s
- Your passport
- Your I-94 card (small, white card)
The International Student Programs Office will complete the transfer process by endorsing your I-20 and notifying your previous school and INS that you have transferred to Monterey Peninsula College.
