I-20 EXTENSION REQUEST FORM
Eligibility:
You may apply for an I-20 extension if:
1. You have not exceeded the Program End Date noted on your I-20. Failure to apply for a program extension before the I-20 expiration date will mean you have violated U.S. government requirements and you will have to apply for reinstatement.
2. You have continuously maintained lawful F-1 status.
3. The delay has been caused by compelling academic reasons (such as changes of major field, required course not offered in your last semester, etc.), or compelling and documented medical reasons. Delays caused by academic probation or suspension are not acceptable reasons for extension of a program.
Deadline:
We recommend students to submit their request to the International Student Program (ISP) at least six weeks before the I-20 expiration date. Your extension request must be approved by ISP at least five business days before your I-20 expiration date.
Please contact the International Student Program if you have any questions. (https://skylinecollege.edu/international/contact.php)
