Current Travel Restrictions and Guidance

As of June 18, 2021:

While the travel review process has been streamlined, a waiver for University-sponsored travel remains required. As before, please talk with your department chair or thesis advisor, and then submit the form to Laura Tharsen. The Dean’s Office can now review and approve domestic travel and international travel to Levels 1 and 2 Countries, as defined by the U. S. Department of State. The University’s Pandemic Travel Risk Committee will continue to review international travel to Levels 3 and 4 Countries.
