Andrews will offer in-person classes in spring 2021 with some remote options via online platforms. For details about specific classes, and whether or not you can take classes remotely, please check with your academic advisor.
Current U.S. government regulations state that if you have an F-1 visa and you received your I-20 before March 2020, you can take as many online/remote classes as you need to in spring 2021 from anywhere in the world. Whether or not you take any classes remotely, you will still be required to take a full load of classes to keep your I-20 active and in good status.
If you received your I-20 after March 2020, you will need to take at least one in-person class on the Berrien Springs campus in spring 2021 to keep your I-20 active as part of a required full load. If you do not come to the Berrien Springs campus in spring 2021, your I-20 will end, and you will need to apply for a new one when you return to campus.
