IEP Attendance Policy

Consistent class attendance is important to maintain your F1 Visa status.

Classes begin promptly at the scheduled time. If you are late to class, the teacher is not required to allow you to enter. If the teacher allows you to enter, the time you missed will be added to your attendance record. If you leave early, the time missed will also be added to your attendance record.

ACE distinguishes between valid and invalid absences.

F1 students who accrue more than 12 hours of invalid absences in a six-week term may be dismissed from the program and terminated in SEVIS for failure to maintain status.

F1 students who accrue more than 22.5 hours of valid and/or invalid absences in a single term may be dismissed from the program and terminated in SEVIS for failure to maintain status.

Valid and invalid absences are decided on a case by case basis.

Examples of invalid absences include having a headache/sunburn/hangover, sleeping late, getting stuck in traffic, and routine medical care, DMV appointments, and other tasks that can be scheduled out of school hours.

Examples of valid absences include contagious illness and emergency medical care.

Students with an ongoing medical condition that requires multiple absences should request Reduced Course Load authorization in SEVIS.

Students with any attendance issues may be required to meet with administration and sign an attendance contract.

*Classes may be canceled or delayed due to weather-related, emergency, or other unforeseen events or conditions. Make-up contact hours and/or coursework may be scheduled at the Director’s discretion.
I understand and agree to comply with the Institute ACE F1 Attendance Policy.*

Record Retention

Institute ACE will securely collect and maintain student information necessary to record a student’s application, progress and final award in the program and to comply with legal requirements such as visa reporting requirements. This information will be retained for six years, after which it will be securely disposed of by Institute ACE with the exception of the student’s name, dates of attendance, final level achieved, and immigration-related documents required by SEVIS to be kept for three years after completion of the program.

Health Insurance and International Students

Visits to the doctor and/or hospital are extremely expensive in the US.

ACE recommends but does not require the purchase of health insurance.

Because of the extremely high cost of many healthcare services and prescription medications in the United States, Institute ACE strongly recommends that international students purchase a health insurance policy. However, as there is currently no federal requirement for F-1 visa holders or their F-2 visa-holding dependents to have health insurance while in the United States, Institute ACE does not currently require students enrolled in our classes to have a health insurance policy. (At this time, F-1 (OPT) visa holders are required to maintain the minimum essential coverage.) International students should be aware that health insurance regulations may change during their time here, and the Institute ACE policy may change accordingly. International students may be surprised that the cost of medical care without insurance can be very, very expensive. The US healthcare system may differ greatly from the healthcare system in their home country, and students should familiarize themselves with the healthcare and insurance options available in order to make wise decisions.

Where to Go for Medical Treatment

For life-threatening medical emergencies, call 911 or go directly to the nearest emergency room hospital. However, ambulance rides and emergency room hospital visits can be very costly, even with insurance. Urgent care facilities are often a good option for serious medical needs that are not life-threatening.

Visiting a doctor’s office can be an affordable option if your health insurance policy covers all or part of the cost of the visit. However, visits to the doctor’s office require the scheduling of an appointment in advance and it can sometimes take a few days to get treatment.

Walk-in clinics, available in some pharmacies, can be a good option for students needing immediate care for non-emergency illnesses and injuries. Many insurance policies will cover all or some of the care you receive at walk-in clinics. It is always wise to confirm the costs and your coverage before receiving care, to avoid unpleasant surprises when the bill arrives.
I understand that health insurance is strongly recommended by Institute ACE. I understand that I am responsible for obtaining my own health insurance. Institute ACE takes no responsibility for health insurance.*
