I have excellent news to share. Today, the federal government rescinded a policy that would have prohibited international students from studying in the U.S. if their coursework was entirely online.

The government agreed to walk back the policy in a court case brought by Harvard and MIT universities. The administration will now return to the policy in effect in March, which provided more flexibility for students enrolled in schools that switched to all-online courses because of the pandemic. For our international students, this effectively means that nothing changes regarding your visa status, even though GGU plans to be entirely online in the Fall term. We are very much looking forward to you working with your advisers to continue your uninterrupted progress toward a GGU degree.

I know this created considerable anxiety for many of you. We strongly opposed this order when it was released last week, and the association representing us in Sacramento was actively involved in supporting the lawsuit brought by the California Attorney General. We have been following the developments of this court case and other lawsuits closely and I am grateful that a resolution came quickly.

As I said last week, we stand with our community of international students, and we will support your academic ambitions at GGU in every way possible.

Thank you,

David

GGU joins other universities in strongly opposing Immigration and Customs Enforcement's plans to restrict the ability of many international students to attend universities during the COVID-19 pandemic. We urge ICE to withdraw its punitive directive, which is causing uncertainty and confusion among universities and placing hardships on international students. We further support court actions and legislative efforts to rescind this policy and to provide universities the needed flexibility to meet the needs of international students. We are committed to supporting all students affected by this policy. ... See MoreSee Less

Here's why Ruth Reed is earning her BA in Organizational Leadership and Human Skills Development at GGU.

"I'm 37 years old and never finished college. I reached a point in my life when I realized I really wanted to earn my bachelor's degree. I chose GGU because the program is fully online and I can work and go to school. What I didn't expect is how much the Organizational Leadership program would resonate with what I do in my job currently. I've gained conflict management skills that I use when I interview candidates, hire, and give correctives. I've also gained tools to understand challenges companies face with low-retention and high-turnover. At work, I strive to do my best and support my team and this program benefits and supports those values."

GGU's fall term will be 100% online. Learn more about the Organizational Leadership and Human Skills Development program today: ow.ly/aK0k50AucR6 ... See MoreSee Less
