感觉现在每个学校对于新生F-1 Hybrid instruction的政策解读都不一样,所有的学校都表示这方面的政策不明确。UCB建议大家三思,不一定能入境:
New students who wish to attempt entry into the U.S. for Fall 2020 should be aware that they are travelling at their own risk, and we cannot currently predict their reception by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

UCLA没有提到入境问题,但是表示假入课程中途因封锁转到online到话,F-1新生会完蛋:
If an F-1 student enrolls full-time in a combination of in-person and online classes, but will not successfully complete the in-person course due to another stay-at-home order from public health officials, class cancellation, or withdrawal from the in-person class due to academic difficulty, the student will be out of status and will be required to return home immediately.

CMU建议大家在来之前跟学校谈话
if you are planning to enroll at CMU for the fall in in-person classes and want to travel this summer, we recommend using extreme caution, since travel may be risky at this time. In this case we strongly recommend that you call OIE and make an appointment to talk to an OIE advisor before making any travel plans.

Yale先表示大使馆不懂法😓
When the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) rescinded their July 6th guidance and July 7th FAQs, the I-20 re-print requirement ended. Students may use the most recent I-20 they have received from OISS, either electronically or in paper.

Government Miscommunication: Some students have reported that consulates do not know about the most recent guidance which clearly states new I-20s are not necessary.

然后表示其实我们也不知道DHS想干嘛
OISS is still awaiting guidance from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on how to handle the immigration records if you are required to start your program abroad due to travel or visa delays. This includes questions of eligibility for Optional Practical Training (OPT) for one-year programs or Curricular Practical Training (CPT) for two-year degree programs. We will update this section when we have detailed guidance.

Cornell建议大家小心,但是暗示假如要(晚)来的话,可以帮着大家改I-20 course start date:
Keep in mind that new students must enter the U.S. and report within 30 days of the program start date in the SEVIS database in order to keep their SEVIS record and I-20 active. If your arrival will be delayed, please contact us so that we can update your I-20 program start date in the SEVIS database.

不知道大家还有没有发现其它学校比较有趣的解释。

WUSTL 在周五确定在秋季所有F-1学生(包括新生)不会因为中途转网课而需要被迫离境,基本上是否定了UCLA的解释。
