• No guidance on whether students can apply for OPT, the work program for international students, from outside the U.S.
• No extension or suspension of the unemployment period for OPT. (Students have 90 days to find a job on OPT or leave U.S.)
The guidance seems to suggest that Homeland Security is still considering how to handle these ☝️ issues
• Students can work on OPT remotely if their employer allows it/can adequately evaluate them
• Students w/o technological resources to participate in online learning can be remain active if they alert their college
• Colleges cannot furlough all their employees who are certified to maintain student-visa records. If they do, they could lose eligibility to enroll international students
