An email sent out to all study abroad students stated that all international programs will be canceled beginning Saturday.

The University is requiring all students to leave their programs immediately.

“The continuing response by nations and governments including border closures, entry restrictions, quarantines and curtailment of universities and other public services has created an unpredictable environment,” the email stated.

The email also mentioned President Donald Trump’s announcement Wednesday evening on restrictions on non-U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents on entering the U.S. from Europe.
