#  Ending STEM OPT Form 

 



## Summary

This page provides an overview of the reporting requirements for Harvard [F-1 students](/visas-immigration/student "Student Visas") on [STEM OPT](/employment-training/opt/stem "STEM OPT Guide"). Review the [F-1 STEM OPT Reporting Guide](/forms/f-1-stem-opt-reporting-guide "F-1 STEM OPT Reporting Guide") for full instructions on reporting requirements and related forms.

Use this form if you are ending your STEM OPT early:

- You have permanently departed the U.S. and you need to end your STEM OPT early.
- You have been admitted to a new program of study in the U.S. and wish to transfer your F-1 status to another institution to begin your new program (or return for a new program at Harvard). You will contact your HIO advisor to coordinate the transfer of your F-1 record so you can begin my new degree program.
- You have changed your immigration status in the U.S., and you need to end your STEM OPT. You will be required to upload documentation of your new immigration status.

A completed Final Evaluation on Student Progress is required (bottom half of page 5 of the [I-983](https://www.ice.gov/doclib/sevis/pdf/i983.pdf)).
