Graduate School
Grace Period
All students are entitled to remain in the US for up to 60 days after graduation or completion of authorized Optional Practical Training (see below) following graduation. You may not work during the grace period, unless your OPT authorization has already started. Once you leave the country, your F1 status is no longer valid.
Transfer to Another School
If you plan to continue your education in the US, you must request that your SEVIS record be transferred from Hamilton to your new school. You should notify Hamilton as soon as possible of your plans, but your record can be transferred as long as we are aware of your plans prior to the end of your grace period. Complete the transfer out form, providing all requested information, and email it to iss@hamilton.edu.
