Shouldn't be a problem. Go to your International Student Advisor and get a new one.

I believe in most school they will ask for a NEW statement of finances. They also may charge you as much as $50. Plus, lost I-20 may create problems if you plan on transferring schools in the future, I think.

Schools have different policies on this sort of thing. You might be asked for proof of financial resources, but not necessarily. I certainly wouldn't charge someone for a replacement.

As for transfers, the school should have a photocopy of your previous I-20 on file. Assuming this copy has the INS stamp on it from your initial entry in F-1 status, you should be fine for any future transfer situations, or for other applications that you might need a stamped copy for.
