グレースピリオド Grace Period

（2016/1/6）
Seattle Central College
We consider our ESL program as variable length, meaning that students could study in the program for one to six quarters, depending on what suits their interest. If your student applies for ESL only (no college program), and studies for just 2 quarters, we would consider her to have completed her intended program. Her I-20 form will be shortened to the end date of her last quarter of study, and she would have a 60-day grace period.

Grace periodでご注意頂く点は、ELSを終了して他校への転校または進学する場合になります。この間が原則15日に変更になったと言う案内を以前にさせて頂きました。
よって、ご理解のとおり、ELS修了後に帰国をされる学生に関しては、従来どおり、F1-VISAの学生はGrace Periodの変更はありません。その際の修了レベルは特に関係ありません。

We issue our I-20s with a year’s length. As long as your student completes their course with an attendance rate of 80% of higher, they will receive the 60 day grace period.
When a student cancels or curtails, they only get the 15 day grace period as they’re not completing their original course.
22週申込の人に対し、１２ヶ月のI-20でした。２２週を８０％以上の出席であれば６０日もらえるそうです。その代わり、２２週よりも短くしたりキャンセルしたら、１５日のグレースピリオドです。

Because Taishu’s I-20 was issued for a full year, if he departs after only 3 months he grace period would 15 days. If he would decide to stay this full year, this would indicate ‘completion of program’ and his grace would be 60 days.
In general, if a student departs before their program of study is complete (as indicated on their Form I-20), their grace period is 15 days; a student departing upon completion of program the grace is generally 60 days.
An option is shorten the program from 12 months to 9 months, which would then allow the student the 60 day grace period. Please be aware that once the student exits the US after a ‘completion of program’ on the I-20 record, they will not be permitted to re-enter the US in F or J status if the program is finished. The I-20 includes the summer months as a possible vacation quarter that students are always eligible to take as a break – so, while it is assumed Taishu will study for 9 months, the I-20 will still have the remaining 3 months for summer break. Mr. Doug Raiford can ‘shorten’ Taishu’s I-20 to December 2015, which would show his program at 9 months exactly (studying spring/summer/fall) This would give Taishu the 60 day grace period. その人の勉強する期間に合わせて、I-20を書き直してくれます。I-20の編集と発行は無料です。

学位または修了証をもらわないで修了する場合は、学期の途中でやめるのではなく、学期が終わっての修了であっても、Early Withdrawal とみなし、届けと同時にSEVISレコードをTerminateするらしい（＝即刻出国）。15日間のグレースピリオドなんてないと言っているが、ケースバイケースで・・・とも説明し対応が明確でない

Yes, she will still get a 60-day grace period when shortening her course. In terms of her I-20, she will be considered to complete a shorter course, rather than withdraw before finishing the original course.

Basically, student has to leave country within 15days after the student has finished his study.
However, if student’s I-20 form expired before few days earlier than student’s last school day, student can stay for 60days.
We issue 1, 3,6,9 and 12 months I-20 form.The reason usually we issue a longer I-20 form than their actual registered study period is that the most of students will extend their study once they have finished the first term and to avoid to waist time for the process for extending the I-20 form.

グレイスピリオドについて
アカデミアにグレイスピリオドについて問合せをしたところ、以下の回答が届きました。
If a student is applying for our Full-time (student visa) program, the student must stay with us for at least 8 weeks in order to receive the full 60 day grace period upon completing her course.

英語コースを修了した場合のグレースピリオドの期間は一律60日間ではなく、修了レベルによって異なってきます。
Regarding the grace period, I am attaching the followings for your reference.
1. How to reach college level English through MLI
2. Graduation requirements and certificate policy

As you can see, MLI provides two different certificates which are “Attendance” and “Completion”. If a student received the “Certificate of Completion” by MLI, she/he is eligible to have a 60-day grace period.

In order to receive the “Certificate of Completion”, a student must complete the Level 3 (Advanced) successfully then takes COMPASS TEST, scores at least into English 19 and English 21 at University of Hawaii Maui College Credit Side.

Grace Periods upon Completion of ELS Studies
60 Days: When students finish the complete ELS program (Level 112) and are ready to transfer to a degree program (for example, a bachelor’s program at university) or are ready to leave the United States, they have 60 days to either transfer or leave the country. (Note: some universities accept ELS Level 109/110, and the 60-day grace period applies.)
15 Days: When students are ready to return home, but they have not completed a “final” ELS level (for example, 112), they should leave the United States within 15 days of the completion of their studies. If they will transfer to another ELS Center or another language school, they must transfer to the next available start date at that Center. If the next start date is more than four weeks away, the student should remain with the ELS center to maintain full time enrollment for his or her status.

学生ビザで現地到着後にコースの短縮を行った場合、コース修了後の滞在可能期間は60日間ではなく、15日間です。

“If Mr. Matsui curtails his course at any time, his grace period will become 15 days, not 60.”

これは学校により見解が違うそうですが、Embassyはこのルールに従っているということです。
