Yes, continuing students may take all online courses this Fall 2020 from within the U.S. or abroad. This does not negatively impact a student’s eligibility for OPT. If the student happens to be abroad, they will need to re-enter the U.S. in F-1 status before their I-20 program end date of December 23rd, 2020 in order to apply for OPT.
