Please read the FAQs and notes below before registering

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.

  • 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.
  • Purpose of travel relates to essential emergency response or humanitarian assistance

  2. Know Before You Go with Students
Credit-Bearing Student Travel: If you are a UA student participating in a program/trip abroad that includes at least one overnight stay and you will be receiving academic credit as a result of the travel, then you will need to receive a registration link from your program/trip’s Program Lead or Arizona International to register your travel. Please DO NOT register your travel using the registration links above.

Travel to Higher Risk Locations: Certain locations are considered higher risk and the reasons for this designation range from high rates of violent crime to disease outbreaks. For those registering travel to a higher risk location, UA International Travel will email the traveler asking for Supplemental Travel Information prior to submitting the travel for review by the University's International Travel Safety Committee (ITSC). Additionally, UA International Travel will reach out to the traveler's academic Department to seek confirmation as to whether this travel is deemed "essential".

To help determine if your travel is high risk, please review the following sites:
Crisis24 Horizon (access through NetID): Horizon
  • Ensure you use your UArizona email ending in @arizona.edu and your UA password to log in
