As part of our efforts at South Baylo University to further secure our information technology infrastructure, starting June 22nd, 2020, the following policies have been implemented:

1. All users are required to use strong passwords to protect their email accounts. A strong password is 8 to 100 characters, includes lowercase and uppercase letters, numbers, and at least one special character. See Google recommendations here: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/9094506?hl=en
2. All users are required to change their email account password every 90 days. This will prevent your account from being compromised in case your password is exposed to a different online service you use.
3. Starting July 1st, 2020, the next time you sign in, you will be required to update your email account password to a more secure password. We will also use 2-step verification with every new login into your account.
4. If you use the Windows or Mac operating systems, we recommend you download and install the FREE antivirus software Avast. You can get a link for your operating system by going to avast.com

If you have any questions or concerns about Information Technology security at South Baylo University, you can contact James Kim or Lionnel Yamentou of the IT Department at James@southbaylo.edu.

Yes. Students who continue to make normal progress in their course of study remain eligible for admission into the United States.

However, because of the changing array of travel restrictions, students should refer to their local embassy’s website through the U.S. Department of State for any updates about visa issuance. Also, DHS and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) websites provide information about current travel restrictions to the United States.

Initial students currently in the United States that have reported to their school should be made Active in SEVIS and follow the guidelines the school provides to all its F students related to COVID-19.

If Initial students have not arrived in the United States, they should remain in their home country.

SEVP has identified the following methods to sign and send the Form I-20:

• Email a scanned version of the physically signed Form I-20; 

• Email a digitally signed Form I-20 using electronic signature software; or

• Email a digitally signed Form I-20 that contains a digitally reproduced copy of a physical signature.
