Columbia University plays no role in planning any part of such side trip travel and cannot provide a comprehensive review of any side trip travel identified in a Student Sponsorship application. However, affiliates are encouraged to identify side trip travel and register in ISOS, the University’s emergency assistance provider, so that the University is aware of their location in the event of an emergency and render appropriate support.

You may make edits to to your application for School Sponsorship at any point in the process. Please note that the addition of new destinations will place your School Sponsorship application in “review” status until newly added travel has been reviewed, assessed and approved. If destinations added are of a medium, high or extreme risk rating, your application may require additional steps, including, but not limited to, an International SOS Itinerary Review.

The Undergraduate International Travel Policy Pre-Departure Orientation can be found here. The Pre-Departure Orientation will take approximately 45 minutes.

You will receive an email from utrc@columbia.edu when your application is received, as well as when a final determination has been made on your application. You may also check the status of your application, as well as confirm any additional required steps, by logging in to the Undergraduate Travel Web App.
