Faculty and Staff International Travel

The University of Virginia recognizes the critical importance of international travel by faculty and staff for University-related purposes in the areas of education, research, and service. In order to adequately support the health, safety, and security of University employees traveling internationally on University-related business, the University is implementing a requirement to register the itineraries and contact information for all international travel by University faculty and staff. This registration will automatically grant insurance coverage to provide emergency and medical support as needed during such travel. While prior approval to undertake international travel is not required, the University retains the authority to prohibit or otherwise restrict the expenditure of University funds for travel to specific destinations in cases of extreme risk to travelers’ security.
