ICE and SEVP Extend March 2020 COVID-19 Guidance to 2021-2022

April 27, 2021

In March 2020, ICE/SEVP issued government guidance for the COVID-19 emergency for international students who were currently enrolled in the US and those who were admitted for programs of study. As no additional guidance was issued for fall 2020 and spring 2021, the educational community continued to abide by the March 2020 guidance.

On April 26th, 2021 ICE officially announced that the March 2020 guidance remains in effect for the 2021-2022 academic year, and SEVP issued FAQs updated for 2021-2022, confirming that no changes have been made. ISSO FAQs have been updated accordingly.
