Why did the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) adopt this policy for the fall 2020 semester and change from the spring semester approach? 為什麼美國國土安全部（DHS）要改變春季學期的政策，而在2020年秋季學期採用此新政策？ A: In the spring semester, DHS was faced with an urgent need to address challenges in this area mid-semester as the COVID-19 situation began evolving. Heading into a new semester this fall, DHS is adopting a new approach to carefully balance public health concerns against the varied approaches that schools and universities are taking to combat the spread of COVID-19. 由於COVID-19疫期在春季學期期間開始發展，DHS採取了緊急應變措施。 隨著新學期到來，DHS將採用新的方針以謹慎地在公共衛生問題以及各級學校為防止COVID-19傳播而採取的各種不同方法之間取得平衡。 2. When does the new fall 2020 guidance take effect? 新的《2020年秋季準則》何時生效？ A: SEVP’s guidance for fall 2020 will take effect at the start of a school’s defined fall semester. SEVP的《2020年秋季準則》將於學校各自規定的秋季學期開始時生效。 3. Will the new fall 2020 guidance supersede SEVP’s current COVID-19 guidance? If so, when will the current COVID-19 guidance no longer be in effect? 最新公布的《2020年秋季準則》會取代SEVP當前的《COVID-19準則》嗎？ 當前的《COVID-19準則》又將在何時失效？ A: Yes, the new fall 2020 guidance will supersede SEVP’s current COVID-19 guidance located at ICE.gov/Coronavirus. However, SEVP’s current COVID-19 guidance will remain in effect through the end of a school’s summer semester. 是的，《2020年秋季準則》將取代SEVP目前公布於ICE.gov/Coronavirus的《COVID-19準則》。而SEVP目前使用的《COVID-19準則》的效期為直到夏季學期結束為止。 Interagency coordination 跨機關協調 1. Did DHS coordinate with its government partners prior to issuing guidance for fall 2020? DHS在發布《2020年秋季準則》之前，是否有和其他政府機關合作並彼此協調？ A: Yes, DHS worked closely with its component agencies and partners at the U.S. Department of State prior to issuing guidance for the fall 2020 semester. 是的，在發布《2020年秋季準則》之前，DHS與美國國務院（DOS）的下屬機構等夥伴密切合作。 The health and safety of all students is of the utmost importance. A working group, which consisted of representatives from several government agencies, assessed the use of continued remote learning by nonimmigrant students in light of COVID-19. The group determined that three options—remote learning from outside the United States, in-person classes and a hybrid model that combined both in-person and online classes—provided the best options for flexibility for nonimmigrant students to continue education with health risks associated with international travel at this time. DHS also coordinated with the Department of State on issues related to visa issuance and U.S. Customs and Border Protection on issues related to the port of entry process. 所有學生的健康和安全至關重要。數個政府機關派出代表組成工作小組，根據COVID-19對非移民學生使用持續遠程學習的情況進行了評估。 該小組評估以下三種選擇──在美國境外遠程學習、傳統現場教學、結合兩者的混合模式──能為非移民學生提供彈性選擇，讓他們在國際旅行的健康風險下得以繼續學業。DHS也與DOS就簽證核發事宜協調，並與美國海關與邊境保護局（CBP）就入境口岸相關事宜協調。 Nonimmigrant Students 非移民學生 Maintaining student records 維持學籍記錄 1. Are students attending schools that are entirely online barred from attending that school? 學生是否不能再於完全線上教學的學校就學？ A: No. Students will not be permitted to enter or remain in the United States to attend such schools but they are not barred from continuing to attend all classes at these schools from abroad. This approach balances students’ ability to continue their studies while minimizing the risk of spread of COVID-19 in our communities by ensuring that individuals who do not need to be present in the United States are not physically here. 不會。學生不能進入或留在美國就讀此類學校，但不禁止他們從國外繼續參與該學校的任何課程。這項安排顧及了學生繼續學習的權力，同時確保不需要在美國居留者不在現場，從而最大程度地降低了COVID-19在我國社區中傳播的風險。 2. Can continuing F and M students study online outside the United States and remain in Active status in the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS)? Are designated school officials (DSOs) responsible for maintaining these records? 現已就讀的F和M學生，接下來是否能在美國境外在線上學習，並在學生和交流訪問者資訊系統（SEVIS）中維持有效狀態？ DSO是否負責維護這些記錄？ A: Yes, continuing F and M students may remain in Active SEVIS status while studying online, outside the United States. As these students remain Active in SEVIS, DSOs are responsible for maintaining these student records. 是的，現已就讀的F和M學生從美國境外線上學習時仍得以保有有效SEVIS記錄。只要SEVIS記錄有效，即由DSO負責維護這些學生記錄。 Form I-20, “Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant Student Status” 表格I-20《非移民學生身份資格證》相關 1. Will SEVP still allow electronic Form I-20 issuance for the fall 2020 semester? SEVP在2020年秋季學期是否繼續允許以電子形式核發I-20表格？ A: Yes, SEVP will still allow electronic Form I-20 issuance for the fall semester, and DSOs may electronically send Forms I-20 to student email addresses listed in SEVIS. 是的，SEVP在秋季學期仍允許以電子形式核發I-20表格。DSO可以通過電子方式將I-20表格送達SEVIS中所載的學生電子郵件地址。 In the case of students who are minors, the email address may belong to their parent or legal guardian. Schools do not need to request permission from SEVP or report their plans to electronically send Forms I-20 as part of their fall 2020 semester procedural changes. 對於未成年學生，電子郵件地址可能屬於其父母或法定監護人。在新的準則之下，學校以電子形式送發I-20表格時無需向SEVP的徵求許可或報告。 2. What do DSOs need to annotate on the Form I-20 for students attending hybrid schools? Where should DSOs annotate this information on the Form I-20? 對於混合模式學校的學生，DSO需要在I-20表格上的哪裡加註，標註什麼？ A: As noted in Broadcast Message: COVID-19 and Fall 2020, all students attending schools in the United States this fall 2020, DSOs must issue new Forms I-20 to each student certifying that the school is not operating entirely online, that the student is not taking an entirely online course load for the fall 2020 semester, and that the student is taking the minimum number of online classes required to make normal progress in their degree program. DSOs must indicate this information in the Form I-20 Remarks field in SEVIS. 如《COVID-19準則》、《2020年秋季準則》所述，DSO必須向每位學生核發新的I-20表格，以註明學校並非完全在線運營、該學生在2020年秋季學期所受課程並非完全在線上進行，且該學生所修線上課程數有達到其學位學程正常所需的下限。 DSO須在SEVIS的I-20備註欄中註明以上訊息。 I-901 SEVIS Fee I-901 SEVIS規費 1. Will students receive an I-901 SEVIS Fee refund if they paid the Fee, entered the United States and now must leave? 如果學生已經繳交I-901 SEVIS規費並入境美國，而現在必須離開，是否能得到退款？ A: No, students will not receive an I-901 SEVIS Fee refund in this situation. 在這種情況下，學生將無法獲得I-901 SEVIS費用退款。 SEVP-certified Schools SEVP認可校方面 Reporting school changes 學校變動報告 1. By what date do schools need to submit operational change plans to SEVP? How should these plans be submitted? 學校是否需要向SEVP繳交營運變更計劃？何時繳交？如何繳交？ A: Schools that offer entirely online classes or programs or will not reopen for the fall 2020 semester must complete an operational change plan and submit it to [email protected] no later than Wednesday, July 15, 2020. The subject line must read: “Fall 2020 (Fully Online/Will not Reopen) – School Name and School Code.” 完全提供線上課程或學程的學校，以及在2020年秋季學期不開放的學校，必須擬定營運變更計劃，並於2020年7月15日星期三之前將其提交至[email protected]。主旨須為：“2020年秋季（完全線上／不重新開放）–學校名稱和學校代碼。” Certified schools that will not be entirely online but will reopen in the fall and that will use any of the following educational formats must update their operational plans by August 1, 2020 and include whether they will be: 經過（SEVP的?）認證、會在秋季開放、但不會完全在線上進行而採用下列形式的學校，必須在2020年8月1日之前更新其營運計劃並說明其所選形式： Solely in-person classes, or Delayed or shortened sessions, or A hybrid plan of in-person and remote classes. 完全傳統現場教學、課程短縮，或現場和遠距教學的混合形式。 Schools must submit these plans to: [email protected] with the subject line: “ Fall 2020 (in person/hybrid/modified session)- School Name and School Code.” 學校須將上述計劃繳交至：[email protected]，主旨為：“ 2020年秋季（現場/混合/調整課程）-學校名稱和學校代碼”。 Please refer to the Optional COVID-19 School Reporting Template that schools can use to report temporary procedural adaptations. 請各校參閱《COVID-19學校報告模板》，並可以用該模板報告臨時的程序調整。 Schools should report subsequent changes within 10 days of the change. 學校應在變動後的10天內報告後續改變。 2. Does the fall 2020 guidance apply to schools generally or programs specifically? How should schools report information if certain university components are fully online while others are hybrid (e.g., a university’s medical school is hybrid while a business school is fully online)? 《2020年秋季準則》是適用於全校還是各個學位學程？如果大學的某些部分完全採線上形式，而其他部分混合進行（例如，醫學院為混合形式，而商學院為完全線上），則學校應如何報告？ A: Reporting, generally, applies to a school. However, when a school’s instructional methodology varies by either a program designation or degree or by an instructional site, the school should indicate the differences. 報告內容一般來說應適用於全校。但是若學校的教學方法會因學程種類、學位種類、教學地點而異時，學校應報告其差異。 3. Will schools receive confirmation or acknowledgment when SEVP receives their operational change documents? Is there any possibility that SEVP would deny or disapprove of a reported change by a school? If so, what happens in that instance? 當SEVP收到運營變更文件後，學校會收到確認嗎？SEVP是否有可能拒絕或退回學校所報告的變更，又該如何處理？ A: SEVP will send an email acknowledging receipt to each school that submits procedural change documents and add the submitted information to the school’ s file. However, given the significant number of changes being requested, SEVP cannot respond to every submission in detail. If SEVP has concerns that the changes exceed permissible accommodations for COVID-19, it will contact the school for clarification or revision. SEVP將向每所提交報告的學校發送一封確認收到的電子郵件，並將提交的內容訊息附加到學校的資料中。但鑑於需要進行大量更改，因此SEVP無法詳細答覆每一份資料。 如果SEVP認為學校所提的計劃超出足以應對COVID-19的範圍，將與學校聯繫以要求解釋或修正。 4. Do schools that will not have any F or M students enrolled in the fall 2020 semester need to send procedural change documents to SEVP? 在2020年秋季學期沒有F和M學生註冊的學校，是否需要向SEVP寄送程序變動報告？ A: No, only schools with F or M students currently enrolled need to submit procedural adaptation documents to SEVP. 只有當前有F和M學生註冊的學校才需要向SEVP提交程序適應文件。 SEVP Response Center Contact Information SEVP 回覆中心聯絡方式 For general SEVP questions, case-specific questions and SEVIS technical help, contact the SEVP Response Center (SRC).
