To assist our university community in navigating the evolving landscape of international travel, we have developed a new resource to provide comprehensive guidance on international travel, including the use of university systems and institutional technology while overseas. The guidance was developed collaboratively by the Information Security and Policy Office, the Office of the General Counsel, the Office of the Vice President for Research, and University Human Resources. 

As global travel becomes increasingly regulated, it is imperative that we stay informed and compliant with applicable laws, federal regulations, and our own internal policies.  

These guidelines are essential for several reasons: 

Compliance: Adhering to these guidelines ensures that our travelers comply with applicable laws and regulations, minimizing legal and institutional risks. 

Security: The guidelines emphasize the importance of data privacy and security, helping travelers protect sensitive information and university systems while abroad. 

Risk Management: By following these guidelines, travelers can effectively manage potential risks associated with international travel, including regulatory, privacy, and IT security risks. 

It is crucial to comply with these guidelines to safeguard our university's interests and ensure a smooth and secure travel experience for all. If you have questions about international travel, please consult with your supervisor or human resources representative.
