Each NH cycle, some of our Semester (SM) students decide that they would like to extend their program. This year’s decision deadline for program extension is November 7, 2017 with a paperwork deadline of December 8, 2017.

If you become aware that a student would like to extend their program, please email the following information to ProgramExtension@afsusa.org  (checked daily):

• Student First & Last Name(s)
• Country
• Program Code
• Viability of school accepting the student for 2nd semester
• Viability of host family wanting to host for the 2nd semester
  • Opinion of local volunteers/liaison on viability of student extending his or her stay
• Additional details of the request if known

The Hosting Department will take the request forward to arrange with the partner country and necessary departments at AFS-USA.
