最新的2021-2022学年的5个月规则

想请问下大家关于现在最新的5个月规则的政策。请问下continuing student和新生是不是可以在呆在国内继续上网课就算超过5个月也能维持F1身份，我的理解是大概可以的？

目前搜到最近的SEVIS指导文件，说的是2021-2022学年 https://www.ice.gov/doclib/coronavirus/covid19faq.pdf 第5页，给出的有关解释是：

. ----Do DSOs have to cancel Forms I-20 if students are taking classes outside of the United States? If their Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) records remain in Active status, will students be subject to the five-month rule?

If an Active F student is outside the United States, their SEVIS record can remain in Active status and not be terminated. While the temporary measures related to COVID-19 are in place for academic year 2021-22, students are deemed to be maintaining status if they are making normal progress in their course of study. For that reason, the five-month temporary absence provision addressed in 8 CFR 214.2(f)(4) will not apply for students who remain in Active status.

SEVP will allow F and M students to temporarily count online classes toward a full course of study in excess of the limits stated in 8 CFR 214.2(f)(6)(i)(G) and 8 CFR 214.2(m)(9)(v), even if they are outside the United States and are taking the online classes elsewhere. This temporary provision is only in effect due to COVID-19 for academic year 2021-22 and only for schools that comply with the requirement to notify SEVP of any procedural changes within 10 business days.

我也可能有啥没考虑到的问题，欢迎大家指出！

哦哦了解了，非常感谢，确实还是看每个学校是否准许。

我的理解是政府层面是允许的，但也要看学校的政策。如果学校不提供远程选项的话，你不去线下学校就不帮你在SEVIS的系统里注册，想维持身份可能就得休学（leave of absence）。
