Letter to International Students
Dear International Students:
You have probably heard the news that U.S. Immigration and Customs issued a rule on July 6, 2020 that international students will not be able to take ONLY online courses and remain legally in the U.S. this fall.
We understand that these are stressful times, so please know you are welcome and valued at UMB. We value you and the richness that you bring to our Baltimore community as international students. We are here to support you.
The University of Maryland, Baltimore has not yet finalized plans for Fall 2020 instruction. Further details will be forthcoming, but we want you to know that we are working to ensure that you have a quality educational experience this fall. Dr. Jarrell and UMB senior leaders will share additional information as details become finalized.
We are collaborating and consulting with other institutions in the U.S., all of which are facing the same situation.
The Office of International Services and the campus will communicate updates as soon as we are able. Updates will also be posted on the Office of International Services website.
Sincerely,
