ISSS: A Message about the SEVP Guidance for Fall 2020

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released guidance on July 6, 2020 regarding study in the fall 2020 semester.

With this new guidance, the accommodations for online learning that were permitted previously will no longer be permissible for the fall 2020 semester. The office of International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) is carefully analyzing this new guidance and determining how this will impact both new and continuing students in the fall 2020 semester in conjunction with the format of the fall semester to be offered by Stevens. ISSS and Stevens are committed to providing timely and accurate information to all students so that you can make informed decisions about your health, safety, and studies. We thank you for your patience as we navigate this challenging announcement. Additional information, once we have carefully vetted the guidance and consulted with partners and colleagues, will be released as soon as possible. This information will be emailed to all students once available.

ISSS Office Working Remotely

Per the Stevens’ COVID-19 policy, the ISSS office is providing services fully remotely during business hours until further notice. As ISSS remains operational, please contact ISSS only via email ([email protected]) and continue to submit your applications to [email protected].
