Policies on new course offerings

AmLotus ® programs run all year and utilize the academic calendar of semesters. Each session lasts 15 weeks. All new courses are open dependent on student enrollment. Minimum 5 students in enrollment are required to open a new course. Applicants may consult with a school agent to determine the next scheduled starting date.

Policies on an annual vacation for F1 nonimmigrant students

As per Federal Regulations 8 CFR 21.2 (F)(5)(iii), nonimmigrant F1 students must complete an academic year before being eligible to take an annual vacation; otherwise, SEVP no longer allows students to take an annual vacation without completing an academic year. Therefore, to comply with the Federal regulations 8 CFR 21.2 (F)(5)(iii), AmLotus ® only allows F-1 nonimmigrant students to take an annual vacation after completing an academic year annually.

According to the Federal regulations 8 CFR 21.2 (F)(5)(iii), F1 students are considered in status if they take just one vacation per academic year.
