With planned implementation of an enhanced University international travel policy impacting undergraduates, the undergraduate schools recognized the immediate need to develop an aligned process for international travel first. As the undergraduate schools are committed to better supporting the health, safety, and security of our undergraduates while they pursue transformative, meaningful, and engaging educational experiences beyond the classroom, additional time and consideration will be taken to eventually develop a policy that will be inclusive of domestic travel as well.

Your additional safety contingencies are safety precautions that may include additional travel insurance, securing a satellite phone and/or consultation with the CU on the Road Travel Medicine Program. If necessary, the undergraduate travel review committee will reach out, and you will be asked to confirm that you will adhere to the additional safety contingencies.

The required Pre-Departure Orientation will be available through the Undergraduate Travel Web App once you have been granted School Sponsorship.

The Undergraduate Travel Review Committee is composed of representatives from Columbia College, the Fu Foundation of School of Engineering and Applied Science, the School of General Studies, and the University who review, assess, and make decisions on School Sponsorship and Program Pre-Approval applications on behalf of the undergraduate schools.
