We have received concerns from our international community associated with the upcoming administration change. At this time there are no specifics regarding what, if any, policy, or regulation changes may be attempted. Illinois International Student and Scholar Services is not currently recommending students make any changes to their travel plans, although it is always recommended that students return before the start of classes on January 21, 2025. ISSS will continue to make sure our students, scholars and campus partners are aware of any new immigration information that may affect them by communicating quickly and broadly. 

Illinois International has shared additional information and resources directly with students and scholars.
