GADSDEN, Ala. (AP) — Because of COVID-19, many schools and universities across the U.S. had to turn away international students from attending classes in person last year. Countries under travel restrictions because of the pandemic have seen their embassies reduce hours or close completely, preventing international students from obtaining vital legal documents like visas and passports.
David Ford is involved with the international student program at Coosa Christian School, which managed to avoid those problems. Still, he said many other schools refused to take those students last year because of the pandemic.
