STORRS, CT— UConn has confirmed that 13 individuals affiliated with the university have had their U.S. visas revoked by the federal government.
The affected group includes six undergraduate students, six graduate students, and one international alumnus currently enrolled in a post-graduate professional program.
The university disclosed the development Monday following an internal audit of records from the Student and Exchange Visitor Program.
Officials stated that they were not notified in advance and have not been provided with the rationale for the federal terminations.
According to UConn, the total international student population is approximately 3,450, with most based at the Storrs campus. The nationalities of the impacted students have not been released.
UConn said it is currently assessing how the terminations could affect students’ academic standing and employment eligibility.
University officials are working to provide support options within institutional limits.
Earlier this month, UConn issued a public statement reiterating its position.
“Although the University is prohibited from offering legal representation or financial assistance for legal representation, we remain committed to doing anything we can to support our students, faculty, and staff on this or any issue,” UConn said.
The university has not announced whether any additional visa terminations are expected.
Federal authorities have not released statements or documentation explaining the visa revocations. The situation remains under review.
