Ukraine

Eligibility & Requirements

Ukraine currently has a 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. Crimea, Donetsk People’s Republic (DNR), and Luhansk People’s Republic (LNR) regions of Ukraine are OFAC embargo destinations. See U-M Export Controls for details.
  3. For individual travel abroad, submit an Individual Safety Plan at least 6 weeks before departure. 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.)
     • 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.)
  4. Enroll in U-M Travel Abroad Health Insurance for the travel duration. 
  5. Follow college/unit-specific travel approval steps, if any.
