International travel is as varied as the places we may travel to. Students may travel as part of a formal study abroad program for a semester, year or summer; accompany faculty members on field trips or research programs; travel with an athletic team or student organization; travel independently or with a group for research, career development or community service. This site is intended to assist the traveler in appropriately managing the risks associated with travel or organizing travel for others. For policies and procedures specific to your institution, consult your own institution.
