Transferring from Another U.S. College or High School

Steps for F-1 students transferring from another U.S. college or high school post-graduation to Macomb Community College:

  1. Prospective applicant should create an admissions account and submit an application on the Macomb Community College website.
  2. Applicant must make an appointment to take our Placement test to evaluate English proficiency.
  3. If English proficiency qualifies the applicant to attend Macomb as an F-1 student, they can proceed with the paperwork by going back to their admissions account to obtain and upload the required documents.
  4. The applicant’s current school should not transfer the SEVIS record to us until the student has official written notice of acceptance including start date.
  5. Once the SEVIS record has been transferred to Macomb, we will create a new I-20. You will be emailed your I-20. Once this is complete, you will be able to register for classes.
