the grace period of 30 days applies only to those who actually finish the program. Most schools warn students that if a person withdraws from school with a permission from their International Center, they have 15 days. If they withdraw without a permission - no grace period at all. Other schools warn their students that upon withdrawal they do not have any grace period at all.

If you take a leave of absence, withdraw voluntarily, or are suspended or required to withdraw from the University, you are required to leave the United States, transfer to another F-1 or J-1 program, or obtain a change of non-immigrant status. You are given 15 days to leave the country, transfer to another school or change your non-immigrant status, unless you are suspended or required to withdraw. If you are suspended or required to withdraw, you have no grace period and are required to leave the United States immediately. The only exception to these rules is a medical leave of absence.
