[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have they provided *any* rationale for this, other than just being dickwipes? [/quote]

Yes -- the whole point of the F-1 visa is to come to the US to study in a university. If you can no longer study _in_ the university, then there is no need to come to the US.[/quote]

Nothing in the F-1 visa rules say you have to be "in a university" it says you have to be a full time student. You also don't have to be "in a university" there are F-1 visa's for Elementary/high school.

There are also exceptions for health, etc.[/quote]

Yeah and studying online [i]is[/i] studying in the University.[/quote]

But the prior ICE rules have stipulated that international students on F-1 visas can take no more than one class online per semester when in residence in the United States.  That provision was waived in the spring semester, and universities were hoping for similar guidance for the fall.  A Chinese student could take a course load of all online Harvard classes in China but not in Cambridge.[/quote]
