The implementation of President Trump’s revised Executive Order, imposing a 90-day ban on citizens from six countries entering the United States, has been temporarily blocked by several Federal courts.

The circumstances related to the Executive Order continue to be very fluid. The International Education Services Office is monitoring the situation for any new developments. For further detailed information, please see the International Education Services (IES) website.

We also will continue to keep the campus updated about our work to advance UMBC’s culture of inclusive excellence on the UMBC Diversity and Inclusion website.
