Virtual Learning

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:

The Student Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) announced on July 6, 2020 that students with F-1 status for language training must enroll in face-to-face classes in Fall 2020 in order to maintain their status. The English Institute is currently evaluating our Fall 2020 schedule to see if face-to-face classes will be possible and we will make an announcement about the format of Fall 2020 classes by July 14, 2020. If we are unable to provide face-to-face classes, we will assist current students in finding a program to transfer to if they feel safe taking face-to-face classes and want to keep their F-1 status. Students who do not want to study face-to-face should prepare to exit the U.S. or consult an experienced immigration attorney for alternative options. Our staff is here to answer your questions and help you through this very difficult time. Please reach out to us by email at ei@howardcc.edu.
