Process

Step 1: Secure Approvals

Discuss planned travel with your department chair (faculty) or advisor (students).
If a high-risk destination, contact Shana Gadarian (sgadaria@syr.edu) to petition the University's International High-Risk Travel Oversight Committee (IHTOC) for approval.

- Initiate the petition process no less than 3 months before planned travel to a high-risk destination.
- Under no circumstances proceed to a high-risk destination without review and approval of IHTOC.

Step 2: Register Your Trip

Once approved, register your trip in the Syracuse University Travel Registry.
