Steps for F-1 Student Re-admissions
-
Reactivate Your Student Account
Your first step is to visit the student system below and follow the online instructions to regain access to your student account.
-
Complete Your Re-admissions Checklist
After signing into your account, you will see a message to "Reapply for Admission" under My Checklists. This is your re-admissions to-do list.
On your to-do list, you will be assigned a task with a link to the Apply Texas application (www.applytexas.org) and a unique verification code to enter in the biographical section. This code will ensure that you maintain the same ID and all previous records will be reflected on your updated application.
-
Submit Your SEVIS Form I-20
The re-admission will not complete the F1 application process. You still need to complete and save the SEVIS Form I-20 Application as a PDF file and send it as an attachment to oiss.international@hccs.edu.
In your email, make sure to write your HCC ID number and your F1 classification (NEW, TRANSFER, CHANGE OF STATUS or CONCURRENT) in the subject line to identify your F-1 student type so you can be assigned the appropriate F-1 checklist.
