The U-M International Travel Policy (SPG 601.31) applies to faculty, staff and students traveling outside of the United States for University of Michigan Related Travel (UMRT), and includes requirements for students traveling to higher risk destinations. Because of COVID-19, every country remains a higher risk destination. Find your destination country below to determine your eligibility for travel and U-M travel requirements.
Steps for completing requirements are in this U-M COVID-19 Travel Plan and Safety Plan Process Flowchart and are below:
- Click on the continent where your travel destination/s is located and find your destination country.
- Determine whether your travel destination/s is a U-M Travel Warning, a U-M Travel Restriction, a COVID-19 Medium Risk, or a COVID-19 High Risk designation.
- Complete requirements depending on your status as an undergraduate student, graduate student, or faculty/staff. These travel requirements do NOT take into account entry-requirements, so be sure to validate your ability to enter the country before making travel plans.
Note: The International Travel Oversight Committee reviews U-M Travel Warning and Restriction destinations on an iterative basis using a variety of sources, including: US Department of State Travel Advisories, CDC COVID-19 Risk Ratings, other non-U.S. government advisories, and U-M’s assistance provider’s risk ratings.
