Jaeger and Gary Burnett ABSTRACT Online courses have become an important part of the academic offerings of many institutions of higher education in the United States. However, the homeland security laws and regulations enacted since September 2001, including the USA PATRIOT Act, have created serious limitations on the ability of international students studying in the United States to participate in online educational opportunities. Placing online education within the context of the mutually beneficial relationships between international students and the United States, this article examines the assumptions and the impacts of these regulations on the students and the institutions of higher education. This article explores the enrollment limitations in online courses for international students in terms of information policy and concepts of presence and identity in online environments, offering an examination of the implications of this issue for education and information in United States. CONTENTS Introduction: The United States of America, immigrants, and visitors International students in the United States The USA PATRIOT Act and international students Restrictions on the online education of international students Identity and presence in online environments Conclusion: The policy picture for education and information http://firstmonday.org/issues/issue8_9/jaeger/index.html
