I-20s may be extended if a delay in program completion is caused by听well-documented academic or medical reasons听for students in good academic and immigration status, such as:

• Change in Major (Undergraduate)
• Change in Thesis or Dissertation Research Topic (Phd)
• Unexpected Research Problems (Phd)
• Documented Illnesses
• Initial Academic Difficulties (Undergraduate听or Graduate)
• Other Academic Reasons (Phd)

Delays caused by academic听probation, failing classes, or low GPA are not acceptable reasons for program extension听[8 CFR 214.2(f)(7)(iii)]. 听

Any additional minor or certificate beyond the current program requirements are also not acceptable reasons for program extension.听

I-20s can be extended for up to听one year at a time. Program extensions must be requested听two months before the current I-20 expires听and must be accompanied by the following:听

1. Current financial documents (no older than 3 months) covering tuition and living expenses for the extended period. 听Cost guides听and list of acceptable听financial documents听are available on the ISSS website. 听
2. If you are not self-funded or your financial sponsor has a different last name, please include a short memo signed by your financial sponsor attesting financial responsibility.听

Please discuss the听program extension with your academic advisor before submitting the request to ISSS. Program extension can be requested using :

• Log into

ISSS will review your request within 2 weeks听and contact you back if more information is needed.
