Transfers in to Dartmouth College
If you have been accepted to Dartmouth College, and are currently attending another US institution, we must effect an official State Department transfer of your J-1 program to Dartmouth. This is a completely separate procedure from the academic transfer you must also go through. Please make it very clear to your admissions counselor that you are on an J-1 program at another US school, and need to transfer your J-1 program to Dartmouth.
When we receive notification of your admittance to Dartmouth from the appropriate college admissions office or from your department, we will issue you an DS-2019 form. We will send this new transfer DS-2019 form to your "old" school. They must sign the bottom of this form, and mail it back to us. We will then process your transfer by mailing the yellow copy of the DS-2019 to the State Department, and the pink copy to you. Once you arrive on campus, you must come to the International Office with your new Dartmouth DS-2019 and your passport to officially "check-in" with us, per CIS and State Department regulations.
If you will be traveling outside the U.S. before you come to Dartmouth, please let us know, as we will then use a different notification procedure.
Transfers out from Dartmouth College
If you are currently an international student attending Dartmouth College and have applied and been accepted to another institution within the US, your new school must effect an official State Department transfer of your J-1 program from Dartmouth. This is a completely separate procedure from the academic transfer you must also go through. Your new school will send us a new transfer DS-2019, which we will sign and return to them. They will then send you the pink copy, and will notify the State Department of your transfer to their program by mailing them the yellow copy.
Please make sure that if transferring, you follow all proper procedures.
