[Intl-stu] U.S. Government Backs Down in Fight With Harvard, MIT Over Student Visas

[International Students]

Dear International Students:

Yesterday we heard that the U.S. government has backed off the ICE Broadcast Message published on July 6, 2020.

Rescinding the guidance is helpful, but we do not know when we will receive SEVP / ICE guidance on what students will be able to do for fall 2020.  The previous SEVP guidance was for spring and summer semesters.  Once we hear from SEVP, OIP will quickly inform you.

Please leave your Fall 2020 schedules as they are now with a mixture of face-to-face / hybrid and online courses. Stay tuned for SEVP guidance!

Be safe. Go Lions!
