From the Maryville Daily Times (AP News):
International students will be forced to leave the U.S. or transfer to another college if their schools offer classes entirely online this fall, under new guidelines issued Monday by federal immigration authorities.
.
The guidelines, issued by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, provide additional pressure for universities to reopen even amid growing concerns about the recent spread of COVID-19 among young adults.
So far, Harvard University is going online only, even though they are allowing some students to live on campus this fall. Many California colleges are going online only, e.g.California State University system, City College in California, Los Angeles Community College District, Univ of CA at Irvine, Univ of CA at Los Angeles, Univ of Southern CA.
Here’s a List of Colleges’ Plans for Reopening in the Fall, from the Chronicle of Higher Education.
It shows UT Knoxville using a hybrid model but UT Chattanooga and UT Martin with in-person models.
However, I know that some of the colleges listed are actually doing the hybrid model even though they are listed as doing in-person.
