Nazareth College denounces this week’s
action by the Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) and U.S. Immigration and
Customs Enforcement (ICE) to modify exemptions for international
students taking online classes in fall 2020. These changes have the
potential to negatively impact our international students and thereby
the integrity of our full community.
The College is working diligently to create appropriate pathways for our international students to continue with their education, in spite of the ICE ruling. This federal guidance will not compromise our commitment to work with each individual student to define your best path forward.
The Center for International Education is coordinating efforts with our deans, College leadership, program advisors, and faculty to make sure affected students are enrolled in appropriate coursework relative to their visa status and desire to remain on campus or study remotely from their home country.
Our international students, faculty and staff are valued members of our community. Please know that the Nazareth community stands with you, supports you, and remains committed to providing a safe and welcoming haven for learning for all our international community members. To students, in particular, we will do all we can to facilitate your continued education at Nazareth College. You belong here.
