International students

Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News

Wright State University has announced that it will be restricting university-sponsored travel to any counties under a CDC Threat Level 3 warning due to the novel coronavirus. This applies to all faculty, staff and students on trips and study abroad programs for spring semester.

The CDC has issued Level 3 warnings for China, South Korea, Iran and Italy. 

The university said that it is imposing these restrictions out of an abundance of caution, even though the CDC said that the risk of an outbreak isn’t fully understood and remains low in the U.S. 

As for which international programs may be canceled, Wright State said that the University Center for International Education will decide by March 20, based on CDC and U.S. State Department information as well as the decisions of other institutions with programs in affected areas.
