Student International Travel to Countries WITH Travel Advisory Levels 2
Pre-Trip Requirements for
International Travel to a Country with a Travel Advisory:
- Receive travel approval from the appropriate Student Travel Approver.
- If this is group travel, the approval will be obtained by the group leader and they
should inform you this step is complete.
- If a country is Advisory Level 2, you must review the advisory to determine if there
are any areas within the country identified as “do not travel” or “reconsider travel.”
If these additional advisories exist then you must go through the Heightened Risk
Travel Review process to address those additional concerns. If the advisory does not
contain “do not travel” or “reconsider travel” within the country, you can proceed
without the Heightened Risk Travel Review process. For heightened risk Level 2 countries
just described and for all Level 3 and 4 countries, receive Provost approval of the
trip by submitting the Heightened Risk Travel Request Form [*form instructions*] to the International Travel Review Committee. Please note the request must be submitted
enough in advance to go through the review process and receive Provost approval before
any expenditures are made for travel to such locations.
- If this is group travel, the approval will be obtained by the group leader and they
should inform you this step is complete.
-
Record travel information following any instructions provided by your Approver
- Students traveling for credit must also record travel information on the Cowboys Abroad Site
- Enroll in Department of State Smart Traveler Enrollment Program
- Complete the required release of liability form provided to you by your Approver or
UW Risk Management.
- Complete the Authorized Absence form if you are requesting authorized absences for the trip.
- Review the International Travel Checklist
