Dear Faculty and Staff,
As you are making your travel plans for the spring, remember that all faculty, staff and students participating in international travel supported by or related to the university are required to follow Georgetown’s International Travel Policy. The Policy requires faculty, staff and students to register their university sponsored international travel with the university and may require additional steps depending on the traveler(s) and the destination.
All faculty and staff must register their university sponsored international travel with the online Georgetown Travel Registration system managed by International SOS (ISOS) and have adequate health insurance. Travel registration enables the University to provide travelers with support in the event of an emergency, in-depth travel security information and subject-specific intelligence and assistance alerts.
Additionally:
- Faculty and staff planning university-related or sponsored international experiences that include students should complete the International Travel Authorization Please contact catey.williams@georgetown.edu with any questions about this process.
- Law Center faculty and staff traveling with students should consult with the Law Center’s Office of Transnational Programs.
Faculty and staff undertaking university-related travel to Elevated Risk Regions should be aware that there are additional university and insurance requirements. Please contact exportcontrol@georgetown.edu for assistance with any of your Export Controls and International Research Collaboration questions or concerns.
Public Health Guidelines
All faculty and staff undertaking university-related international travel are expected to follow the university’s public health policies in place at the time of their travel, as well as any public health laws or regulations in the countries they are visiting.
It is recommended that you complete a pre-travel health assessment with your physician or a Travel clinic, including completing any required vaccinations.
