Travel to and from China \u2014 the largest source of international students globally \u2014 has been heavily restricted since January as a result of the coronavirus (COVID-19). To better understand the impact the virus has had on the recruitment efforts of US universities, the Institute of International Education (IIE) conducted a survey on academic student mobility to and from China.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0findings from the survey\u2014Academic Student Mobility to and from China<\/em><\/a>\u2014\u00a0show that the majority (76 percent) of institutions\u2019 outreach and recruitment efforts to prospective students in China had been affected. Specifically, more than half (51 percent) of responding institutions had cancelled recruitment activities in China.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Other impacts, including \u201cstudents not being able to obtain official transcripts for applications due to school closures, students not being able to attend visa interviews, and US schools not being able to work with local recruitment agents and agencies,\u201d were also noted in the survey report.<\/p>\n

The survey, released March 5, is part of a series, which will include additional countries as the situation unfolds globally.<\/p>\n

Responses from 234 institutions in 43 states were included, indicating a broad representation of US higher education institutions. In 2018-19, these institutions hosted 175,398 students from China, accounting for 47 percent of the total population of Chinese students in the United States.<\/p>\n
