The move may affect thousands of foreign students who come to the United States to attend universities or participate in training programs, as well as non-academic or vocational studies. Universities nationwide are beginning to make the decision to transition to online courses as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. As of January, there were 365 primary school students and 2,362 secondary school students in Texas who are on a student visa. The agency suggested that students currently enrolled in the US consider other measures, like transferring to schools with in-person instruction.
