Please bring the following documents to the Office of International Programs:

•  completed Academic Advisor's Recommendation for Program Extension

•  documentation of financial resource to cover the expenses during the extended stay

The Office of International Programs will assess your eligibility for program extension. If you meet all the documentation requirements, the Office of International Programs will approve the extension, update your program information in SEVIS (Student and Exchange Visitor Information System), and issue you a new I-20 or DS-2019 with the new completion date.

Please note that the extension must be completed before the current program completion date.
