International students won’t be allowed to enter the United States for online-only course loads in the fall semester unless they were enrolled on or before March 9, immigration officials said.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said in a statement July 24 that its policy of granting visa flexibility to nonimmigrant students won’t apply to those who enrolled after the March 9 cutoff if they take fully online classes, although it will be granted to students receiving some in-person instruction on campuses.
