Your program dates are the dates you will be expected to work at your employer. Be sure to keep
this in mind and build in time for travel after your program end date (work end date). If it is
absolutely necessary to shorten your work period, modify your program (work) end date well
BEFORE arrival in the USA by contacting your sending agent. If, after arrival, you decide you want
more time for travel, consider delaying your return flight date, as long as you return home in time
for the start of classes. Any early leave requests after arrival should be submitted to Spirit at least 3
weeks prior to your requested work end date.
