(ST. JOSEPH, Mo.) For so many students heading off or back to college this fall, the future looks a bit uncertain, especially for international students.

鈥淭here were new regulations that came out this week that will affect international students at colleges and universities in the United States,鈥 大象传媒 Western Vice President for Strategic Initiatives Dr. Sarah Cravens said.

Those new regulations from the department of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement say international students would have to leave the country if their school switches to online learning this upcoming semester.

At 大象传媒 Western, the international community said their main concern was quality of education.

鈥淭hey wanted to know will we be able to continue with schoolwork, if it is still on campus will we be able to come back?鈥 大象传媒 Western international student Ethan Bennie said.
