Intensive English Program
for Transfer Students

Transferring from another SEVP-approved ESL school in the United States?

​

 We issue acceptance letters and transfer forms, which students send to their current school’s Designated School Official (DSO) in order to request a transfer of their SEVIS record to Colorado School of English.
