Ready to transfer your F-1 status to Midwestern Career College? This page outlines every step to complete your international admissions process—from submitting your Request for Information to receiving your Acceptance Letter and initial I-20. Follow the checklist carefully to ensure a smooth transfer of your SEVIS record and timely enrollment in your chosen program.
If you are an international student who is currently in the U.S. and would like to transfer from another school, follow the requirements and application checklist below.
Once we receive your request for information, an admissions counselor will contact you to start the process. During your admissions interview, your counselor will discuss your academic goals and interests to help you select the program that best suits your needs. The counselor will review the admissions requirements and the necessary application documents to make sure you understand every step of the process.
✓ Passport copy with all visa pages
Your passport should be valid for at least six months at the time of application.
✓ Your I-94 arrival/departure record, and a copy your I-20 from each U.S. school you have attended.
Notify your admissions counselor if you no longer have access to one or more of your I-20s.
✓ Ask your school to fill out the Transfer Request Form
Your current school’s advisor or DSO should email the completed form to international@mccollege.edu
✓ Provide proof of sufficient funds.
If you are paying your own tuition and fees:
Submit an original bank statement issued of your application date. If the statement is from a foreign financial institution, it must be stamped, signed, and accompanied by a certified translation.

Submit an Affidavit of Support (Form I-134) filled out and signed by the sponsor, along with their original most recent bank statement issued within 30 days of your application date.
If you are financially supported by someone outside of the US:
Submit the support letter signed by your sponsor, and their original most recent bank statement issued within 30 days of your application date. All statements from a foreign financial institution must be stamped, signed, and accompanied by a certified translation.
✓ Provide Proof of High School Graduation
High School graduation is required for admission to all programs. Submit a copy of your high school diploma or HS transcripts with the graduation date listed, accompanied by the English translation.
