    Are institutions developing plans whereby the institution limits students they are accepting through VSLO?

    Hi Kelly,
    Most, if not all, U.S. institutions in VSLO  have limited hosting international visiting students.  It appears that increasingly US institutions in VSLO are now developing policies for outbound and inbound visiting students.   We have become aware of one VSLO institution that has created a new requirement in VSLO that every applicant needs to acknowledge that in the past 14 days they have not traveled to CDC level 2 or 3 countries. 

    The new Google doc where institutions are documenting their US and international policies will be the most helpful document for widely disseminating this information.
