The University recently adopted two distinct policies addressing international travel for university-sponsored or university-related purposes.*
- The Policy for Education Abroad and Related Activities in Sites with a U.S. Department of State Travel Warning/Travel Alert establishes how, when and where students, postdoctoral research associates, faculty and staff may travel abroad for university sponsored or university-related purposes. Visit http://policy.uconn.edu/?p=6313 for full details.
- The Student International Travel Policy addresses important requirements for when any student travels abroad for university-sponsored or university related purposes. The policy helps to ensure student access to information essential to their travel abroad, to assess any potential risks and appropriate actions to reduce those risks, and to create University awareness of when and where students are taking advantage of these Education Abroad and related opportunities. Visit http://policy.uconn.edu/?p=6294 for full details.
* University-sponsored or university-related purposes means credit-bearing Education Abroad programs, internships, research, service learning and volunteer opportunities, conferences, registered student organization activities, student groups affiliated with academic departments, and other non-credit bearing University programs.
