University-supported international travel – Faculty

The University will permit faculty/staff and students to travel under the following conditions:

1. All University of Nevada, Reno students and faculty/staff must submit an International Travel Authorization Request 30 days prior to departure to any international destination, including those associated with University faculty-led study abroad programs. 
2. Per Section 1,404 of the University Administrative Manual, student and faculty/staff international travel request[s] to destinations with a U.S. State Department Risk Level 3 or 4 for safety or health (including COVID-19),  must first be reviewed by the International Travel Committee. Final authority for travel authorizations rests with the Provost.
3. If a graduate student or research assistant, please determine in what capacity you are traveling as; an employee or a student before you begin filling out your paperwork. Then proceed to fill out the correct forms. If you need help determining please contact BCN Risk for assistance.
4. The University retains the authority to rescind international travel authorizations or recall University students and faculty/staff traveling to or residing at an international destination for any reason, including rescinding or recalling a student or faculty/staff from a destination that has been designated by the U.S. State Department as a Risk Level 4 location.
5. The University highly recommends that University students and faculty/staff traveling internationally purchase their own travel insurance through CISI or another travel insurance company. Coverage should include health, medically necessary evacuation, and trip interruption expenses that do not exclude COVID-19-related losses.  Contact BCNRisk@unr.edu for more information.
