Travel Approvals and Safety
The University of Minnesota encourages students, faculty, and staff to study and conduct research abroad. The Office of International Programs provides services and resources to ensure that these experiences are done in a safe, healthy, and legal manner.
The Office of International Programs coordinates:
- Cuba Travel License: Travel to Cuba may require the use of the University’s travel license.
- Travel Approval: Individual students or faculty-led groups who wish to travel to countries on the U.S. State Department’s travel warning list need prior approval from the University’s Education Abroad Suspension Committee.
- Travel Resources: Health, safety, and travel resources and advice for international travel.
