>Nonimmigrant F-1 students attending schools operating under normal in-person classes are bound by existing federal regulations. Eligible F students may take a maximum of one class or three credit hours online.

This pretty nuts. From what I understand, even schools that are allowing everyone on campus will have a majority of their classes online or have them be up to the discretion of professors.

This may keep the vast majority of international students out of the US.

That would make it not a "school[] operating under normal in-person classes" but rather a "school[] adopting a hybrid model." No?

A vast majority of international students already admitted into the fall semester are already looking for alternatives because 1) coronavirus situation in the US and 2) US embassies being shut down in many affected countries.
