Due to continuing international tensions, the University has suspended all travel to Gaza, Ukraine, Russia and Belarus until further notice.
Travel to the Middle East, North Africa, and Turkey should be registered farther in advance than usual as additional information may be required.
Due to the current active war, the University may permit only essential travel to Israel and the West Bank. The International Travel Safety Committee and Provost will review any proposed trips to Israel and the West Bank deemed to be essential by the department. Trips may still be denied if the risk is determined to be unacceptable. Departments may deem travel essential if AT LEAST ONE of the following is likely to occur should the travel be cancelled or significantly delayed:
- Loss of grant or contract funding, failure to meet required deadlines/deliverables, and/or loss of ability to gather time-sensitive, seasonal data.
- Significant damage to relationship with institutional partner/community agency.
- Significant delay or negative impact on career progression for assistant professors/early career researcher.
- Significant delay in academic progress, degree completion, or graduation for U of A graduate level students.
