How to transfer to Howard Community College as an F1 student

• Submit all F1 application materials (including completed Transfer Eligibility Form) to Howard Community College by the appropriate deadline (see below).  Upon verifying that the application is complete, we will issue the student an acceptance letter to HCC.
  
  
• The student will take the acceptance letter to the international advisor at their current school.  The international advisor will then transfer the I-20 to Howard Community College.  Your transfer is not complete until your I-20 is transferred by your current school.
  
  
• Upon receiving the transferred I-20, an I-20 from Howard Community College will be prepared and the student is officially accepted to HCC.
