Dear Student,
On Wednesday, June 4, 2025 the U.S. government signed a travel ban that prohibits citizens from Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, the Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen from entering the United States. Citizens of Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela are also prohibited from entering the U.S. on B, F, and J visas. The travel ban takes effect on Monday, June 9th and does not impact citizens from those countries who are already in the United States. The University and the International Services Office (ISO) are closely monitoring developments and will provide you with timely updates. Additionally, we will keep The Federal Policy Changes on our website updated as information becomes available. In the meantime, we encourage you to continue to monitor your email and remain in contact with Admissions or your admitting department for additional guidance.
As members of the international community, you are essential to the richness of our academic and cultural community.
Kindest regards,
Ravi Shankar
Interim Vice Provost for Global Engagement
