China

Eligibility & Requirements

China currently has a U-M Travel Warning risk rating. 

Undergraduate and graduate students on University of Michigan Related Travel (UMRT) are eligible to travel to this location after completing the following requirements:

1. Register your travel with U-M (For students who applied for their program through M-Compass, your program application is your travel registration.)
2. For individual travel abroad, submit an Individual Safety Plan at least 3 weeks before departure. (See Example Safety Plan for China and Travel Health Plan & Safety Plan Process for details.)
   • For students participating in Group Travel Abroad, your group leader will submit a “Group Safety Plan” on behalf of the participants; meaning individual students do NOT need to submit an Individual Safety Plan. (See Group Travel Requirements for details.)
3. Enroll in U-M Travel Abroad Health Insurance for the travel duration. 
4. Follow college/unit-specific travel approval steps, if any.
