<p class="MsoNormal">Dear International Students and Concerned Colleagues:<span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You have probably heard the news today that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement
<a href="https://www.ice.gov/news/releases/sevp-modifies-temporary-exemptions-nonimmigrant-students-taking-online-courses-during">
issued a rule</a> that international students will not be able to take <b><i>only</i></b> online courses and remain in the US this fall. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have developed a range of learning modalities to provide on-campus, in person courses for all students in the Fall 2020 semester, under modified conditions as necessary to limit the spread of COVID-19.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Regardless of whether the broader university is mostly online this fall, we are working to provide safe on-campus, in person courses for international students that will comply with Student Exchange and Visitor Information System requirements,
so that you may remain in country.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Further details will be forthcoming, but we wanted you to know that we are working to ensure that you have a quality in-person educational experience this fall.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We understand that these are stressful times, but please know you are welcome here. We value you and the richness that you bring to our Wildcat community as international students. We are here to support you. ISS will also host multiple
question and answer sessions on the topic on Wednesday, July 15<sup>th</sup>. Registration will be available on the
<a href="https://global.arizona.edu/international-students/programs-events">ISS Programs and Events page</a> shortly.<o:p></o:p></p>
