Cornell University is urging international students to return to campus before the spring semester begins on January 21, citing potential travel restrictions under the incoming Trump administration.
The university anticipates a repeat of the 2017 travel ban, which affected countries like Iran, Libya, and Syria. Students are advised to prepare for delays, carry all necessary documents, and bring proof of enrollment or transcripts.
Cornell also noted that mass deportation plans could face legal challenges, potentially delaying their implementation. Students are encouraged to stay in close contact with campus advisors for guidance.
