your I-20 is expiring on May 31, 2006 and you cannot complete your course
of studies, you must request an extension of your I-20 within the month
of May before May 31. You will need to make an appointment with an adviser
in the ISS office. You will also need to provide a new sponsor/bank
statement and a degree plan showing the exact number of required courses
left after the spring semester. Failure to extend your I-20 in time (before
May 31) will cause you to be out-of-status.</span></font></li>

days after May 13, 2006. Once you are fully admitted to a new degree, you
must contact the adviser in the ISS office to do a change of level of
education in SEVIS as soon as possible within these 60 days. A new I-20 with
a new start date must be issued to you for a new degree. Failure to report
a change of level of education in SEVIS within 60 days after May 13 will
cause you to be terminated automatically in SEVIS. </span></font></li>
