   • 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. Enroll in U-M Travel Abroad Health Insurance for the travel duration. 
     3. Follow college/unit-specific travel approval steps, if any.
3. For cities or locations within a Travel Warning area:

        • 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.)
