Key Takeaways:
- Shorelight partner universities announce deadlines for fall 2021.
- HEIs now offer flexible and supportive start options for on-campus learners.
- The students can still choose to attend virtual learning options provided by many universities.
All Shorelight partner universities have set the student application deadlines for incoming students for the fall 2021 intake. The announcement follows the current offering of flexible and supportive start options on-campus for their undergraduate and graduate programs. This initiative assures that students start their studies on time.
While Shorelight anticipates that some students may be challenged with delays in travel or visa plans, most of the partner universities are diligently working to provide virtual start options for students who may face difficulties in coming to their destination countries.
For students who have secured their visas, Shorelight urges them to begin their studies on campus this fall. Nonetheless, students can opt to attend virtual learning options provided by many universities. In fact, many universities have extended their application deadlines for virtual programs to better cater to the situation of their offshore students.
