 Welcome. Congratulations on accepting the admission offer to a Rackham Graduate program. You plan on transferring your F1 visa status to the University of Michigan Ann Arbor campus. Let us walk you through a trusted process for easily securing your Rackham Graduate School Transfer-In I-20. Meet with your current International Student Advisor to confirm that you are eligible to transfer your F1 visa status to the University of Michigan Ann Arbor campus. If you are not eligible for an F1 CVS Transfer, email R-A-C-K-A-D-M-I-S at u-m-i-c-h dot-e-d-u. The Rackham Admission staff will advise you on your next steps. Use the checklist attached to your Rackham Admission email to follow the next essential steps. Organize required documents. 1. The completed Rackham affidavit of financial support. 2. Bank statement or statements or funding letter. 3. Copy of pages 1 and 2 of your current I-20. 4. Copy of your valid passport photo page only. 5. Copy of your visa. 6. Copy of your current electronic I-94. 7. Copy of your employment authorization document if you are approved for optional practical training. 8. Dependent immigration documents, I-20, I-94, F2 visa, and valid passport for each dependent. 9. The completed Rackham Transfer Inform. You must upload all required documents by the release date. Rackham admissions will only process your I-20 after the release date indicated on the transfer inform. Combine the documents in the order listed above and upload into a single PDF file if possible. You can use a free online application like Alto Merge, PDF Merge, and Small PDF to create a single combined PDF file. Upload the file using the upload page in your Wolverine Access Friend account. Estimate a realistic timeline for mailing out or picking up your Transfer In I-20. Rackham admissions requires 3 weeks after the release date and receipt of all required documents, whichever date is later, to process the Transfer In I-20. Example 1. If you submitted all of your required documents on May 1 and your release date is May 22, the estimated date for completing your Transfer In I-20 is June 11. Example 2. If you submitted all of your required documents on May 15 and your release date is May 10, the estimated date for completing your Transfer In I-20 is June 4. Obtain your I-20.
