International Travel Checklist
These pages make up the international travel checklist for students and will provide you with the steps to prepare for your international travel. Your safety and security is a mutual obligation and priority; preparation is essential. Please follow the steps listed to the right.
To begin your journey, please obtain written approval to travel from your approving authority and submit an International Travel Registration Form. Once we have this information and create a travel file for you, you will receive an email reply. This will typically occur within 2-3 business days.
We will work closely with you to ensure you have completed all of the required steps in order for you to meet your safety and security responsibilities prior to travel.
