Travel Registry

The University values and encourages global exchange through international opportunities. The University monitors situations and implements recommendations to help protect members of the UToledo community, recognizing that adverse risks exist through natural disasters, conflict, extremism, and worldwide epidemics. In balancing these factors, UToledo relies on information from United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Travel Health Notices and United States Department of State (DOS) Travel Warnings. With this information, the University has developed a Travel Registry and a recommendation governing educational and other international activities.

Information you will need prior to filling out the Travel Registry:

Flight information
Supervisor and Chair emails
Emergency contact
Travel petition if you are traveling to a Level 3 country

Any individuals traveling overseas for university purpose or university-related business must register their travel.

Travel Petition Guidelines

The U.S. Department of State provides travel information for countries around the world. The department utilizes "Travel Advisory Levels" to assess travel:

Exercise normal precautions
Exercise increased caution
Reconsider travel
Do not travel

If the country you are traveling to has a CDC warning level of 3 or 4 for COVID-19, you must submit a request to the International Education Committee for approval. Understanding the cost of flights and time to organize an abroad program, it is best to submit your travel petition no less than one month prior to your desired departure. The committee will convene in a timely manner to provide the opportunity for travel plan adjustments if your request is denied.

The committee will make a recommendation to the Office of the Provost for final approval.

Forms for request to travel to a State Department level "3" country are below:

Submit forms to the International Education Committee, via email to eduabroad@utoledo.edu.

View the U.S. Department of State Travel Advisories page.
