On Tuesday (July 14), the Trump Administration rescinded the Student Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) policy modification announced on July 6. As you may recall, that policy restricted international students from staying in the United States if they were enrolled in courses that were being delivered only in an online format.

On Monday, July 27, Michigan Tech will enter the final step of our Return to Campus Plan. Step Three concludes our return to campus and marks our transition to the Health and Safety Levels system that we will maintain from the fall semester forward.

Beginning July 27, we plan to resume campus operations at the level at which Michigan Tech will function when students return. Previous expectations outlined in Steps One and Two remain in effect, including enhanced hygiene and social distancing protocols. Of course, those who need to work from home due to health concerns are encouraged to do so, using either a flexible work agreement with their supervisor or a COVID-19 accommodation.
