COVID-19 travel protocols
Please be advised that COVID-19 protocols can change at any time!
For University of Nevada, Reno club teams
These protocols apply to any clubs recognized by ASUN and the offices of Fitness & Recreational Sports and Fraternity & Sorority Life.
- Submit a travel form
- Domestic travel: At least 15 days prior to travel
- International travel: At least 30 days or more prior to travel-please note that depending on the US Department of State Travel advisory level of a given country, you may not get permission to travel. Any country with a US Department of State travel advisory level 3 or level 4 will require a risk assessment to be completed. Students should check the BCN international travel website to determine which risk assessment to complete depending on the type of travel (employee vs. student). Level 1 and level 2 countries may not require a risk assessment but will still require additional approval. Some countries have an overall level 2 status but also have specific states/regions within the country that are level 3 or 4. If you are traveling to one of those specific areas within the country, a risk assessment would be required even though the overall level is lower.
