CIEE Policies - End of Program

A student's program officially ends two weeks from the last day of school. If the student decides to leave his or her host family before that two-week period is over, then the program will end at the time when the student leaves. For example, if the student leaves the host family the day after school gets out, then that will be the last day of the student's program.

When the student's participation in the program ends, there is a 30-day grace period during which the student is allowed to remain in the US on his or her J-1 visa. However, during that time the student is no longer the responsibility of CIEE. Any travel arrangements are the sole responsibility of the student. He or she must be prepared to leave the US before the 30-day grace period expires.
