International Travel Registration

The Office of International Education has been identified as the office for approval and training with regard to international non-credit travel with students. All university activities and programs are subject to a new policy and procedure.

If faculty are taking a group of students outside of the US for a non-credit experience, they may complete the Non-Credit Travel Approval and Registration form, for assistance with risk management and SUNY mandated international health insurance enrollments.
