Protecting One Another by Preferring One Another
International Students Late Arrival Policy The following policy will be in effect for the fall 2020 semester and will only apply in cases where an international students’ arrival is delayed due to delays in visa processing caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
• Students will be permitted to arrive up to a maximum of four weeks beyond the start of classes. The latest arrival dates will be Monday, September 28 in Florida and Monday, October 12 in New York. • Students will NOT be officially enrolled in the program prior to obtaining a student visa. They also will not have access to Logos Bible Software or the Canvas Learning Management System prior to this point. • Once classes begin, students will be required to audit them online (either live or by recording for those in different time zones) prior to their arrival and enrollment as students. They will be provided with course notes, but assignments cannot be submitted, and exams cannot be written prior to their arrival and official enrollment. Classes begin in Florida on Monday, August 31 and in New York on Tuesday, September 15. • Upon arrival, students will meet with the Academic Office to set up a schedule for watching any classes that were missed due to travel days and to determine appropriate deadlines for the submission of assignments and the writing of any missed exams. All course requirements will need to be completed as soon
as practicable and no later than the beginning of the Christmas break. • Students are required to acknowledge their agreement to these expectations as a condition to being granted permission to arrive late. • Students will be advised of their option to move their enrollment from the fall to the spring semester or to transfer from the Florida to the New York campus if so desired in order to avoid a late arrival.
