Information for Departments Sponsoring Undergraduate Travel

Undergraduate Travel Requirements

Departments that sponsor undergraduate travel are reminded that students must:

  • Register their travel on the travel database prior to receiving funding
  • Contact UHS/Travel Medicine and make an appointment well in advance of departure if traveling to a country which requires immunizations
  • Review thoroughly the information on the travel website for undergraduate students
