Hi all, thank you for your time in advance. I'm currently in college. Due to my financial crisis, i could only afford my study to next semester (around mid-September or the end of September). So my questions are :

How many days i could stay in the US after reporting to school that i'll leave after summer semester ? When is the best time to inform them ? Before enrollment of Fall semester or the last day of its ?

If i could find my way to solve my financial problem. I might transfer to another school. Will i have 60 days of grace period from the day i report to the school ? And is it ok that i inform them at the last day of summer semester ?

What if i couldn't find another school before grace period ? Could i just leave the US ? No need to inform the school ?

Grace period is only applied when you finish your courses, in your case you are quitting not graduating so I believe there is no grace period for you. School will report your as soon as they realize you won't enroll in new semester full-time. By the way, you are not required to go to summer classes. Good luck.

Talk to your school and see if you can work something out. My financial situation changed in the middle of my degree and I was late paying tuition which put a hold in their system so I couldn't register for classes. So I talked to the university and signed a note stating my situation and that I promised to pay as much as I could until I found alternative funds or a student loan. Then they let me sign up for classes and continue school. Later on I got a loan that paid for all the overdue tuition.

Talk to your school, ask around.. Good luck!

Thanks for the replies. So no grace period for transferring students ?

Yep, I'll try if i can work things out. My concern now is how many days i could stay in the US if i don't enroll classes ? Cuz i need time to prepare & move my stuffs back to my country.

The few days needed to do that should not be a problem.
