Return to Spring 2022

Travel For spring 2022, travel will continue to require the Interim Travel Authorization form. International travel will continue to require additional consultation and coordination via the Office of International Education, as well as special approval from institutional leadership. The following new measures will be required for all faculty/staff international travel: • Registration of the trip with the Office of International Education; • Enrollment in the UW System-approved International Medical, Travel, and Security Insurance plan (CISI) covering the duration of the trip; and • Enrollment in the U.S. Department of State’s Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP). • Contact the Office of International Education or visit the Travel Registration website for additional information. All travelers should familiarize themselves with and follow Centers for Disease Control guidance and protocols for domestic and international travel for Spring. These guidelines currently include recommendations to delay travel until travelers are fully vaccinated as well as protocols for vaccinated and unvaccinated travelers. All members of the Stout community (students, faculty and staff) are expected to follow university guidance on masking and other COVID safety precautions whether on campus or while traveling on behalf of Stout. Upon returning from travel, employees should self-monitor for symptoms. If an employee is concerned about potential exposure to COVID-19, they should notify their supervisor and follow appropriate isolation, quarantine, and testing guidance. International Students Newly admitted international students should plan to arrive on January 17 or 18, 2022, and will continue to receive information regarding arrival and orientation. In addition to updated COVID-19 testing requirements, new and continuing international students (non-U.S. citizen and non-U.S. immigrants) are required to be fully vaccinated before entry to the U.S. and should check the latest CDC guidance prior to travel.
