It's 60 days, but be sure to consult with the advisor at the school you are transferring to. |

Yes, you should speak with your advisor. The INS
has been very upset with schools about telling students that they have 60 days. I was recently yelled at by an INS school official about this (I've been telling students 60 days for years!) The rule is that you have 60 days to transfer if you've completed the program. If you haven't completed the program, you're supposted to attend the new school at the next available start date. Also, if you're transferring ELS Language Centers (a large ESL school), then they have their own policy. You should check with your advisor. Good Luck! |

It's very interesting.
Do you think "the next available start date" could be interpreted in the student's favor? Can a student stay out of school for more than 60 days if she's waiting for the next semester to start? Thank you. |

Hi Serge,
If a student has successfully completed academic program (as stated on the I-20) and is moving to a new program, the student is allowed to wait until the next available start date. I don't know what the exact interpretation is but I've always been told a student can wait what would be an normal academic break, typically a semester break. So yes, it usually is in the student's favor. |
