First, it is imperative that you contact the International Student Office at your current school (called the transfer Out school for the purposes of transferring). You must notify a DSO at your current school that you would like to have your SEVIS record transferred to HU. Every school has their own way of processing such requests, so make sure to abide by your school's policy when requesting to be transferred out.
DO NOT WAIT until the last minute.
Provide your DSO at the Transfer Out school with a copy of your HU letter of acceptance. Tell the DSO that they will be receiving HU's electronic transfer form via email which will provide them with the SEVIS school code for Harrisburg University of Science and Technology PHI214F02099000 and HU DSO Contact information.
Next, you MUST log into the Terra Dotta System using the login credentials provided to you after making your deposit. Once you have successfully logged in, navigate to the Request Center to find the Transfer In request.
We recommend that students access Terra Dotta through a desktop/laptop device, as mobile compatibility is limited.
If logging into Terra Dotta for the first time, you must access the system via the Welcome to Terra Dotta email sent to your HU student email.
IMPORTANT NOTE: SEVIS records must arrive no later than one day prior to the first day of classes of the semester. If your SEVIS record has not arrived by that time, you will be withdrawn from classes.
