I-20 Extensions

You should never let your I-20 expire if you are still working on your academic program. If you need more time to complete your studies, you should apply for an extension of your I-20 at least two weeks prior to your expiration.

Starting a new program? Complete the New Program I-20 Request eform in Atlas instead of requesting an extension.

How to Apply

  1. Talk to your academic advisor. Discuss your academic plan to find out how many more semesters you need before completing your program.
  2. Complete the I-20 Extension Request e-form in Atlas. You will be required to provide the name and email address of your academic advisor. An additional required e-form will be sent directly to your academic advisor by email.
  3. After your advisor completes the e-form, the Office of International Affairs will process your request within 2 weeks.
