How coronavirus is changing admissions, Inside Higher ED
At the University of Florida, admissions decisions went out Feb. 28, and the university did not change the criteria it used for Chinese applicants, according to Tammy Aagard, associate vice president for enrollment management. (Last fall, the university had 1,691 students from China, of whom 349 were undergraduates.)
Even if the newly admitted students are unable to make it to Florida on time, they will be offered a spot in UF Online, which allows students to earn 60 credits and then transfer to the traditional program. “We thought that this would give students a longer runway for the virus concerns to subside,” she said.
