Agape English Language Institute welcomes F-1 students who would like to transfer from another Department of Homeland Security-approved school in the United States. To apply as a transfer student, please complete the following steps:

1. Submit the Application for Admission and the 75 USD Application Fee
2. Complete and return the following documents:
   1. Transfer Clearance Form (Dowload for Columbia | Greenville) - Complete page 1, have your school's International Student Advisor (ISA) complete page 2, and return it to Agape. (Your current school must release you in SEVIS before we can issue you a new I-20.)
   2. Copy of current I-20
   3. Official Bank Statement or Affidavit of Financial Support - This must show that you have more than 3,500 USD (per 9 weeks of study at Agape) in order to pursue your education in the US.
3. FOR HOMESTAY STUDENTS: Please submit your Homestay Application and Homestay Fee (100 USD) at least 4 weeks before you intend to arrive at Agape. You must also pay the remainder of your homestay fee before you arrive in Greenville to begin your homestay.
4. Come to Agape on Registration/Orientation Day (the Friday before classes begin) and register for classes. (Payment for fees, tuition, and homestay must be made on or before this day.)

After the above steps are completed and you have reported to and registered at Agape, we will issue you a new I-20.

Please note: Students who do not have all the above materials necessary for transfer will not be allowed to register. If the transfer is cancelled, the Application Fee is not refundable.
