A MESSAGE TO ALL COLLEGE STUDENTS!
The Census is ensuring that everyone across the nation counts themselves, and that includes college students. Below is a video informing our university scholars how to count themselves this 2020 Census and help Shape Their Future. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4Ee8ol_LxY
Know the facts on how they count:
College students are counted where they live and sleep most of the time as of April 1.
If college students usually live abroad outside the United States they are not counted in the census.
If they live in the U.S. but are traveling abroad on April 1, they are still counted where they usually live.
Students who are no longer living abroad are counted where they are living in the U.S. on April 1.
Students who usually live abroad but are only in the U.S. temporarily are not included in the census.
International students living and attending school in the United States should be counted at the on- or off-campus residence where they live and sleep most of the time.
