Off-Program
A student who separates him or herself from YFU will be
designated off-program. In consultation with the Campus
Coordinator, YFU will decide whether a student’s absence
from the college, host family, etc. justifies off-program
status.
In order to avoid being designated off-program, students
are advised to follow YFU policy governing class attendance
(see above) and to keep their Campus Coordinators
informed of travel plans. Students’ travel plans may not
interfere with scheduled classes and examinations.
Once a student is designated off-program, the separation
from YFU is final. YFU has no responsibility, legal or
otherwise, to the student and their natural parents or
guardians for her further well-being. The off-program
student will be given their return YFU airline ticket for
departure on the date established by YFU. Students who
attempt to make improper changes to their return tickets
risk invalidating the tickets.
YFU insurance coverage will be canceled effective on the
departure date scheduled by YFU. U.S. Immigration and
Customs Enforcement (ICE) will be notified that the student
is no longer on-program. YFU strongly advises students who
