  6. FORT WORTH (CBSDFW.COM) – U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced international students on F-1 or M-1 Visas can’t remain in the United States if fall classes are fully online due to the pandemic. The modifications come after schools across the country attempt to navigate plans to safely reopen in the fall. As long as the course load for an International student contains a mix of online and in-person classes, they can stay. But if enrolled in only online courses, they must either transfer or leave the country. Victor Tralci is a University of North Texas graduate student working on his master’s degree.

  15. WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Nothing beats the campus experience at Purdue University, not even the coronavirus. That’s what officials at the Indiana university are hoping anyway, with President Mitch Daniels floating plans to reopen campus for in-person classes in the fall while saying the COVID-19 virus “poses close to zero lethal threat” to young people. Purdue was among the first wave of colleges to announce a shift from in-person classes in early March, leaving students, faculty and staff to adapt quickly to an online setting by transitioning course material and operating online video platforms like Zoom for classes and meetings. Now, as some states move to reopen nonessential businesses and boost the economy, Purdue and Daniels are at the forefront of efforts to put students back on campus for the fall. View Full Article
