Dear colleagues,
Recent updates from the U.S. State Department have introduced new visa and travel restrictions affecting international students, scholars, and faculty. We recognize how unsettling this may be and want to ensure you have access to the latest information.
Impacts vary based on individual circumstances, including visa type, issuance date, and country of citizenship. The Office of International Programs and Services (OIPS) is closely monitoring the situation, communicating with affected students, and maintaining up-to-date resources pages including:
- Visa Pause and Travel Ban Guide for Faculty and Staff – Includes guidance on enrollment impacts and institutional considerations.
- Current Immigration Information for Students – View communications sent by OIPS to both new and returning international students.
- OIPS is also in the process of sending individual communication to those affected by the travel ban.
For questions related to visa or immigration issues, please contact [email protected]. Thank you.
Sincerely,
James Antony
Provost and Executive Vice President
Rose Pascarell
Vice President for University Life
