SEVP issues clarification for fall 2020

国际学生、学者和项目主任Eva Wong于2020年7月24日向威廉玛丽学院的继续国际学生发送了以下信息。 - Ed.

Dear students,

On July 24, the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) issued a message that reaffirms their March guidance and clarified questions that students and schools had for fall 2020.

I am pleased to announce that SEVP has confirmed that continuing F-1 international students may engage in 100 percent online coursework and still maintain their immigration status and remain in the U.S. 

The March guidance had confirmed that F-1 students who are currently abroad may be enrolled remotely and still maintain their immigration status.

President Rowe issued a statement today to affirm William & 玛丽’s continuing support for international students: “William & 玛丽 will remain vigilant in our support for our international students, who are valued members of our learning community. We will continue to advocate for flexibility through our legislative liaisons to Congress.”

I hope this positive outcome increases clarity as you plan for the fall. Please know that William & 玛丽 will continue to do everything in our power to support you, no matter what.

Best,
Eva
