TRANSFERRING TO A NEW SCHOOL WITH ED VISA

Hello. Anyone has experience transferring to a new school? I am currently in an ED VISA and my ED Visa is expiring in November. I want to transfer to a new school because it's nearer to my new place.

My current school is not helping much with the process, they reply too slow. I am also having a hard time understanding the process. Thank you!

Are you on a visa or an extension of stay? That will affect the process, but basically your visa/extension is tied to the school you study at, you'd need to lose that one and go through the process of applying via the new school
