If this situation applies to you, must obtain a new change of level I-20. You are eligible for a change of level I-20 if:
 

• You are currently in valid F-1 status and are completing a Trinity degree program (or are completing post-completion Optional Practical Training based on your Trinity program)
• You have been admitted to a new program at Trinity and the new program will start in the next available term following completion of studies (e.g., if you are completing in the spring semester your new program will start in the following fall semester)
• You apply for your new I-20 within the deadlines indicated below

You must apply for your new Change of Academic Level I-20 within 45 days after completing your first program (or completing post-completion Optional Practical Training based on your first program). This will allow time for the ISSS to prepare a new Change of Academic Level I-20 for you. If you do not submit the change of level application to ISSS and more than sixty (60) days has passed since you completed your first program, you will not be eligible for a Change of Academic Level I-20. Instead, you option is to depart the US and return using a new Initial Attendance I-20, and pay a new SEVIS fee.
