709.01: International Educational Experiences

International educational experiences must be approved by the President.

The President will monitor, up to the date of departure, the U.S. Department of State Travel Warning or Public Announcement list. In the event that the country or countries being visited appear(s) on the Travel Warning or Travel Alert list for any time period to be included during the scheduled trip, the President is advised to cancel the trip in the interest of the safety of students. If the President chooses to allow travel to countries on the Travel Warning or Travel Alert list, participants must be notified in writing that the country appears on the list and must be provided information regarding cancellation options.

The President will require participants to purchase a liability policy that will provide coverage in the event of medical, legal, and/or other travel-related emergencies.

Upon approval by the Chancellor, travel expenses for college personnel serving as chaperones may be paid by the College. See policy 316.01: Travel.
