Form I-20 - Extension Request - 2016

I-20 Extension Request Form

Form Instructions

Purpose:

If you are unable to finish your degree program by the end date noted on your I-20 form (F-1), you can request an

extension of your program. The length of time allowed for an extension is based on the recommendation of your

Academic Advisor and the International Team. A program extension is not guaranteed. Each request will be reviewed

on a case-by-case basis.

Deadline for Extension:

If you need an extension you must request it at least 30 days before the current I-20 expires, by following the

instructions below.

Form Instructions:

1. Complete the student information section of this form (page 1).

2. Provide updated financial documents, proving that sufficient funding is available.

•

Go to

for step by step instructions for providing this

documentation.

•

The amount needed has likely changed since your last financial documents, be sure to look at the

current expense amount provided on the website.

3. Have your Academic Advisor complete and turn in the advisor section of this form (page 2).

Submitting:

Due to the multi-step process of this form, students are encouraged to submit each section once completed rather than

waiting until all steps are complete. Also, students do not have complete each step in order. Students may wish to

meet with the Academic Advising office early, since this office can experience long wait times.

Submit in person at Enrollment Services.

Notification:

Please allow 3 weeks for processing. You will be notified of the decision through your Blinn Buc email once a

determination is made.
