New Major I-20 Request

When you are accepted into a major or if you change your major, you must request a new I-20. F-1 regulations require the I-20 to be updated with the new program information.
Please note that minors and second majors do not require an I-20 update. They will be updated in the electronic SEVIS record but not printed on a new I-20. (If you apply for CPT or OPT, the second major will be noted in the remarks section of your I-20).
To request an updated I-20 with a new major:

  1. Schedule an appointment with International Student support staff in order to make sure your major change won't cause any significant delays or issues with your degree.
  2. Potentially consider meeting with a school advisor to make sure you won't fall too far behind when changing major.
  3. International Student support staff will assist you in updating your SEVIS record and printing you a new I-20 with the new major on it.
