High-Risk Locations & Travel Advisory Suspension Appeals

All travel to a country and/or area designated as a “High-Risk Location” is restricted and requires an appeal to the campus International Risk Committee for Student Travel for permission to travel. Please note that the IRC may withdraw approval for international travel at any time based on changes in the security, health, or safety situation of a location. Additionally, the IRC may request a review of travel plans for approval at any time, regardless of the current US Department of State Travel Advisory level.

PACE International Travel Procedure

  1. PACE will notify Education Abroad (EA) of all students proposing international travel. Notices are sent to EA as faculty mentors complete and submit the Mentor Endorsement form.
  2. Students will be contacted by an EA representative and are expected to follow up in a timely manner—to start the International Travel Registration process, determine if additional compliance procedures are necessary and establish a timeline appropriate for their travel plans.
  3. EA will notify PACEthat students have started the International Travel Registration process and alert PACE ifa student's travel plans require an appeal from the International Risk Committee (IRC).
  4. PACE will send decision notices after EA confirms that students have started the registration process.
    • Students travelling to locations that do not require an appeal from the IRC may be issued payment before the travel registration process is completed.
    • Students travelling to locations that require an appeal from the International Risk Committee or additional compliance procedureswill be issued payment only after their travel plan has been approved. Award offers will be withdrawn if a student's travel plans are not approved by the IRC. Students are responsible for notifying PACE of final IRC decisions.
