Last Updated: September 9, 2022

Eligibility & Requirements

Nigeria 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. Submit a safety plan for individual travel at least 3 weeks.* However, for student U-M Related Travel to the Nigerian states of Borno, Yobe, Bauchi, Gombe, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Zamfara, and northern Adamawa states, submit a safety plan for individual travel at least 6 weeks before departure to initiate the preapproval process. Important: U-M’s assistance provider for Political Evacuation and Natural Disaster coverage must pre-approve travel to verify emergency support capabilities. Travel that is not approved by the assistance provider will not be eligible for political evacuation or natural disaster coverage. (See Travel Health Plan & Safety Plan Process 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.
5. Review the Additional Considerations for International Travel.

Review Nigeria’s U.S. Department of State Country Information Page, CDC Travelers’ Health page, and OSAC Country Security Report for travel health and safety information.
