Extending the Program

To extend the program end date of your I-20 you must have your program extended before the expiration date. If you do not extend your program by the expiration date and have not completed your academic program, you would then be out of status.

To extend your program you must login to isslink.uark.edu and select I-20 Program Extension Application from the F-1 Student Services tab. After submitting the application, the academic advisor you listed will need to verify when you will complete your program and list the reason for the extension. An ISS advisor will then send the updated I-20 to your email to print and sign.
