The program end date is the date in which students are expected to complete their academic program. The I-20 form reflects the beginning and end dates associated with student’s academic program dates. If for some reason F-1 students need additional time to complete the require courses for their program, students must request a extension of their I-20 end date. The extension request must be submitted to CISP so that the program end date is updated on the student’s SEVIS record.
I-20 extension are not automatic, students must request an extension BEFORE the I-20 expires. Request can be submitted through CISP’s online service portal at https://www.csusb.edu/cisp/online-services
