Important information:
- If you hold F-1 or J-1 student status at another institution in the United States and plan to remain in that visa status, you are considered a “SEVIS Transfer Student”. The College of Engineering only can issue your required I-20 or DS-2019 after your previous university releases your SEVIS, indicated on the U-M Transfer-In Form.
- If you are an international student currently at U-M Ann Arbor, The College of Engineering would prepare your required I-20 or DS-2019 at the end of your last term of attendance.
- A DS-2019 can’t be downloaded from MPassport, it must be shipped using eShip Global, or the student can request to pick up the document when ready.
- If you are an Integrative Systems + Design Global Automotive and Manufacturing Engineering or Automotive Engineering student, please note that on the I-20 document your major is listed as ‘Systems Engineering’. The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has a limited number of fields of study (majors) to be listed on I-20 documents. The USCIS uses ‘Systems Engineering’ for your field and this is not an error.
