Student Eligibility & Requirements

Lebanon currently has a U-M Travel Restriction risk rating. 

  • Undergraduate students are prohibited from traveling to a Travel Restriction destination for University of Michigan Related Travel (UMRT).
  • Graduate students on 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 6 weeks before departure.  (See Travel Health Plan & Safety Plan Process for details.)
      • ITOC will forward your completed Safety Plan to Crisis24 to serve as the pre-approval request. Travel that is not approved by the assistance provider will not be eligible for political evacuation or natural disaster evacuation coverage.
      • 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.

Faculty & Staff Requirements

  1. Register your travel with U-M 
  2. Complete the Crisis24 Predeparture Disclosure Request Form and send the completed form to Crisis24.Review@umich.edu.
    • Crisis24, U-M’s evacuation assistance provider for Political Evacuation and Natural Disaster coverage, will notify the traveler whether the request is approved or denied. Travel that is not approved by the assistance provider will not be eligible for political evacuation or natural disaster evacuation coverage.
  3. Current U-M Faculty and Staff on U-M related travel abroad are automatically covered under U-M Travel Abroad Health Insurance for the travel duration.
